the mountain goats - sourdoire valley song lyrics
[verse 1]
bang the small rocks on the big ones
’til the small ones are sharp and clean
catch something, k!ll something
new blade cuts real keen
[chorus]
and then the gr-ss grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge
half a world away from the olduvai gorge
[verse 2]
chew these roots for a toothache
chew these ones for atmosphere
dream the pleasant dreams that people dream
when they grow up down here
[chorus]
and then the gr-ss grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge
half a world away from the olduvai gorge
[verse 3]
take care of the old man
see if he’s in pain
have somebody stay with him
comfort him when he complains
[verse 4]
keep to ourselves mostly
few friends and fewer closer friends
lead a long life if you’re lucky
hope it never ends
[chorus]
and then the gr-ss grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge
half a world away from the olduvai gorge
