the mountain goats - seven hundred unspeakable names lyrics

Loading...

i might sail a junk to china
if the wind was right
i might hit up old friends for money
in the middle of the night

i might scale the chrysler building
in a lizard suit
i might take up quilting
i might learn to play the flute

but i would not invoke
the seven hundred unspeakable names
no, i would not invoke
those ancient unspeakable names
i might crash high school reunions
at schools i didn’t go to
i might wear a turquoise toe ring
if i could fit my toe through

i might make myself some pancakes
or i might make a waffle
i might retract my previous couplet
’cause lеt’s be honest, it was awful

but i would not invoke
thе seven hundred unspeakable names
no, i would not invoke
those ancient unspeakable names

i might take on effulgence and shine
in the black night sky
i might show up in a clown suit
and make all the children cry

i might blame others for my wretchedness
or i might look within
i might save a lot of money
if i cut back on the gin

i might seek help for my sickness
or insist that i’m all right
or stow away on some mysterious junk
to china in the night
but i would not invoke
the seven hundred unspeakable names
no, i would not invoke
those ancient unspeakable names
no, no, i would not
because i could not
