mountain goats - burned my tongue lyrics

Loading...

woke up this morning about a quarter to five
said the prayer you’d taught me to keep myself alive,
it burned my tongue.
it burned my tongue.

fried some grains in b-tter,
said a simple grace,
sat down at the table,
fed my greedy face.
it burned my tongue.
it burned my tongue.

looked out at the ocean
i could see it so clear.
said the only name
i can ever stand to hear.
it burned my tongue
it burned my tongue.

when i ask you to sing with me
i wish you’d sing along.
thirty years in this world —
thirty years too long.
it burns my tongue.
it burns my tongue.

you tooks away my friends.
you took my will to live.
i gave you all i got.
what more have i got to give?
it burns my tongue.
it burns my tongue.
it burns my tongue.
it burns my tongue.

world cylinder

dont like going to the doctor.
i don’t like looking at the mirror.
i like looking out the window,
watching the waves break.
do i have to hit you over the head with it?
do i have to hit you over the head with it?

tired of talking to the suckers,
i’m tired of talking to the wealthy.
i want to talk to men and women
who haven’t got anything left.
do i have to hit you over the head with it?
do i have to hit you over the head with it?

carry me down to the water
where i used to play when i was five.
let me go, let me go down to the water.
don’t bring me back alive.
do i have to hit you over the head with it?
do i have to hit you over the head with it?
