The Mountain Goats - Choked Out lyrics

rate me

Diamonds in the firmament

All reserves completely spent

Someone set up the oxygen tent

Everybody here's real proud to present

Choked out! 200 dolla take all purse

Half Nelson to Suplex reverse

Worried look on the face of the ringside nurse

At one, for once, with the universe

Choked out! Choked out, choked out, choked out!

I stretch & strain with all my might

Drift off into the velvety arms of the night

Kick & claw & scratch & bite

Fire up the grill, everybody eats tonight

Choked out! No brakes down

An endless dark incline

Most of the boys won't eva cross this line

If they all want to die dead broke that's fine, that's fine

Everybody's got their limits, nobody's found mine

Crowd screamin' like hounds at the heat of the chase

All the colours of the rainbow flood my face

I lift right off into space

I can see the future, it's a real dark place

Choked out, choked out, choked out

Choked out, choked out, choked out
