the mountain goats – done bleeding (demo) lyrics
[intro]
this is called “done bleeding”
one, two, three, and…
[verse 1]
recite the songs that kept me whole
on the day i hand over command control
try to let them all flow into this one
list alphabetically
the toxins the doctors found in me
during my time in prison
[chorus]
count my fingers
every last one
when i get done
[verse 2]
clean the floors well, sweep and swap
do a thorough job
leave the old place nicer than i found it
wish well as the neighbors cheer and shout
finally taking their earplugs out
things were even worse here than they sounded
[chorus]
grim-faced pilots
back from the bombing run
when i get done
[bridge]
take a picture or two
just to remember the view
leave a mark on the door
as an empty warning sign
from one who’s gone before
but isn’t here any more
[chorus]
let the crust form
on my skin in the sun
when i get done
[verse 3]
sweep the front porch make it new
put the broom away when i get through
no p-ssersby need know of my lonely tenure
oh this riot of light
the shock of leaves
wind rippling in my sleeves
swirling against my skin as in a blender
[chorus]
red thread drying behind me
hands clamped
when i get done
