the mountain goats - an antidote for strychnine lyrics
[verse 1]
dig around in the 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]
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]
try to find
an antidote for strychnine
tryin’ to find
an antidote for strychnine
[verse 3]
time’s running short
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]
only share my research
with sick lab rats like me
trapped behind the beakers
and the erlenmeyer flasks
cut off from the world, i may not ever get free
but i may one day
[chorus]
tryin’ to find
an antidote for strychnine
try to find
an antidote for strychnine
[bridge]
so many suffering from the same affliction
coming up on the breakthrough
the clock’s ticking
[verse 5]
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]
tryin’ to find
an antidote for strychnine
tryin’ to find
an antidote for strychnine
