the mountain goats - prowl great cain lyrics

Loading...

gather jewels from graveyards
when i get home bury them again
wonder if you’ll ever get the chance
to ask me why i turned you in
i saved my own skin but i live to fight
i live to fight another day
still remember how brave you were
when they came to take you away

[chorus]
and i feel guilty
but i can’t feel ashamed
prowl through empty fields
great cain

thought i’d seen a ghost up on the boulevard
between the broken bits
it’s hard to tell gifts of the spirit
from clever counterfeits
sleepwalk through my days
and mark the hours until these dark times fade
like a caterpillar crawling out
along the surface of the blade

[chorus]
and i feel guilty
but i can’t feel ashamed
prowl through empty fields
great cain

rummage through the gutted storehouse now
and l!ck the sweat from my brow

saw the trucks roll out this morning
not sure when they’re coming back again
feel the pr-ckings of my conscience in my chest
every now and then
sometimes a great wave of forgetfulness
rises up and blesses me
and other times the sickness howls
and i despair of any remedy

[chorus]
and i feel guilty
but i can’t feel ashamed
prowl through empty fields
great cain
