the mountain goats - clean slate lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
one from east st. louis with a scar beneath his eye
left the kitchen spotless on the day he said goodbye
breakaway republic dude, supremely filthy mouth
copiah, mississipi; points much further south

[chorus]
it’s never light outside yet when they climb into the van
remember at your peril, forget the ones you can

[verse 2]
leave home feeling empty, change planes in taipei
stay awake the whole timе, end up several worlds away
thе house was almost full that day, they made a sp+ce for you
this world is sad and broken, gotta fix a crack or two

[chorus]
rest until you’re rested, climb back onto the caravan
remember at your peril, forget the ones you can

[bridge]
and then just when you think you’ve learned how to forget
you learn it’s just the ones who haven’t risen to the surface yet

[verse 3]
absence after absence, keep the place secure
this will be the last time that i do this, i’m pretty sure
no one lasts for long in this profession, so they say
maybe see you again someday
[chorus]
every endpoint fixed forever on the day its arc began
remember at your peril, forget the ones you can
forget the ones you can
