The Mountain Goats - Stabbed to Death Outside San Juan lyrics

rate me

The winter is wet & the summer is hot

Take a match in Puerto Rico, why not

Power & adrenaline flowin' like amber

From the recesses of the earth, put on ur waders

& twitch when the water runs high sometimes

Twitch when the tide ebbs low

See the sights, maybe go downtown

Sometimes u get some heat, sometimes it follows u around

When the blade hits the bone, every body hears it sing

Shower room full of people, no one hears a god damned thing

A twitch when the current runs wild sometimes

Twitch when the contact howls

All that racket out there in the arena

I am on a stretcher, here come the cleaners

& the sky goes dark & there I am

Climbin' down the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram

I drop from the top of my tall steel cage

Drop to the concrete floor
