the mountain goats - an antidote for strychnine (demo) lyrics

Loading...

[intro: john darnielle and roman darnielle]
i’m gonna ask you, are you ready to demo this jam?
yes!
why don’t you press that beat b-tton? yeah. “an antidote for strychnine”
1, 2, 3

[intro: john darnielle and roman darnielle]
dig around in the garbage (garbage)
save up some halibut bones in a jar
scr-pe a winter’s worth of salt deposits
from the rusty frame of my car
ask the experts, maybe they’ll know

[verse 2: john darnielle]
call up my teacher in cambridge
see what he remembers
throw white phosphorus in the fireplace
look for clues in the embers
call the hotline, give them a phony last name

[chorus: : john darnielle and roman darnielle]
tryin’ to find (tryin’ to find)
an antidote for strychnine (1, 2, 3, 4)
tryin’ to find (1, 2, 3, 4)
an antidote for strychnine (1, 1, 2)

[verse 3: john darnielle and roman darnielle]
time’s running short (1, 2, 3, 4)
always seems to run shorter
have some supplies sent
from up just past the northern border
keep a line out to the people who take the long view

[verse 4: john darnielle]
only share my research
with sick lab rats like me
trapped behind the beakers
and the erlenmeyer flasks
hidden from the world, i may not ever get free
but i may one day
chorus

[chorus: john darnielle and roman darnielle]
tryin’ to find (tryin’ to find)
an antidote for strychnine (strychnine)
try to find (tryin’ to find)
an antidote for strychnine (nine!)

[bridge: john darnielle]
so many suffering from the same affliction
coming up on the breakthrough
the clock’s ticking

[verse 5: john darnielle and roman darnielle]
dig down amongst my calculations
check my map
up there on the surface
everybody’s getting ready for the bloodbath
stem the tide, stem the tide
they’re calling down for reinforcements

[chorus: john darnielle and roman darnielle]
tryin’ to find (tryin’ to find)
an antidote for strychnine (an antidote for strychnine)
try to find (tryin’ to find, tryin’ to find)
an antidote for strychnine (antidote for strychnine)

[outro: john darnielle and roman darnielle]
that was some vocals right there. yeah
yes!
sp-cebar. sp-cebar right there
