Korean Bird Paintings Songtext
von The Mountain Goats

Yesterday I put in a good five hours
Talking to the statues
Chased your memory all around the room
Didn′t manage to catch you
But I cleaned out the savings account
Blew everything I had on flowers and I Covered up the furniture in carnations
Rolled around for hours
And there are those of you who've got the wrong idea right now
But man, you should′ve seen me when I got through
Indistinguishable from a fourth century Briton
Waiting on the couch for you


And I put all the extras on the credit card
Mobiles of the galaxy and mylar balloons
Everything we'd saved up in one room at the same time
Cartoon stars and crescent moons
Thank you notes and get-well cards
Condolences, congratulations
Bright colors, hues and signals
Reminders and reverberations
