Quotes

The Mountain Goats

  • I am going to make it through this year/ if it kills me.
  • Fill your mouth with berries/ by the full light of the moon./ Work all night if you have to/ the Magpie comes at Noon.
  • And I will get lonely/ and gasp for air./ And send your name up from my lips/ like a signal flare.
  • Pull my mask so tight,/until it pinches my skin./ Nerves strung so tight,/ I am a Mandolin.
  • Live like an Outlaw,/ clutching gold coins in his claw.
  • Plug a Nightlight in/ leave the porchlight on./ Because the small dark corners/ have designs on me.
  • It was a cold dark day,/ With low clouds standing in the way./ And the stars jockeying for position,/ In the flowing blue world of the death-dealing physician.
  • You will never find a Love like ours,/ Collapsing Stars.
  • The ride's over, I know./ But I'm not ready to go.
  • We played for you but you would not sing,/ Nobody's gonna get away with anything!
  • And I dreamt of a House,/ Haunted by all you Tweakers with your hands out./ And the Headstones climbed up the Hills...
  • What'll I do if I don't have you/ when I finally get what I deserve?
  • Me and my Crew, we will deal with you./ We will deal with you, me and my Pagan Crew.
  • I became a crystal healer and my ministry was to the sick./ Creeping vines would send out runners and seek me in their numbers./ I sold self-help tapes./ Go down to the netherworld, plant grapes.
  • The things that you've got coming will do things that you're afraid to./There is someone waiting out there with a mouthful of surprises./ The ghosts that haunt your building have been learning how to breathe./ They scan the hallways nightly vainly searching for a sign./ There must be diamonds somewhere in a place that stinks this bad./There are brighter things than diamonds coming down the line./ Here they come,/The young thousands.
  • God damn these Vampires, and what they've done to me.
  • No greater love than to lay my life down for a friend, / no sweeter pleasure than to see the credits clear through to the end.
  • Put on Sackcloth and try to Play Nice,/ you can't cross the same river twice.
  • Crude little wooden idols, and Aviator Shades,/ the trinkets and the treasures we brought back from the Crusades./ Some guy in an Impala shakes his head as he drives by,/ but I remember when we shared a Vision, you and I!
  • Paupers hammering at the walls of the Castle, /going to meet the King./ Never sleep, remember to breathe deep.
  • You don't want to see these guys without their masks on.
  • It will be too late by the time we've learned what these cryptic symbols mean.
  • I'm still here, but all is lost.
  • Room full of ambitious young Policeman,/ everyone trying to make his mark./ I was a red dot on a Screen of Red,/ and then the room went dark./ Dream of waking up someday,/ and wanting you less than I do / This is just a Dream though,/ it's never gonna come true.
  • And when the Cherry's ripe with Blossom, be ready and be Brave./ And remember what we had here, when there was something left to save.
  • I have High Unicorn Tolerance...
  • Why are there Peacocks on the Front Lawn?
  • Something's coming to reward us, you wait and see,/ or squash us all like fleas.
  • Anyone here Mentioning "Hotel California"/ dies before the first line clears his lips.
  • From the California Coastline, to the Iowa Corn,/ to the rooms with the Heat-Lamps where the Snakes get born.
  • The room fills up with smoke,/ is this somebody's idea of a joke?
  • People were mean to you, but I always thought you were cool!
  • Our Mother has been absent, ever since we Founded Rome./ But there's gonna be a Party when the Wolf comes home.
  • We are what we are, get in the Goddamn car!
  • Two young savage things, barely worth remembering.
  • There's a Club where you like to go, you could meet someone lost like you./ Stumble through the darkness like a pair of open graves,/ fall into each other for a Season or two.
  • I can't feel you in the dark!/ Don't know where you've gone./ Hope you're out there, there in the shadows somewhere./ Trying to soldier on.
