This Is Not a Mountain Goats Song Lyrics

Would you love me more if my nickname was my name, but only mispronounced

Or if my eyes were forever scarred?

And this morning I brushed the grass from your heels

Cause last night we walked through the graveyard

And all the whiskey and helium and vodka couldn't get us home any faster

So I thought we should just lay down quietly like the bodies that lay all around us

Cause they're just boxes of bones and we're just floating particles

With our head in the clouds trying to convince ourselves Love is something tangible

Would you love me more, if we had a history or t least on that made sense

Or if I didn't look the way I did?

And last night you drunk so much and said so much that I didn't want to hear

As we walked through "the cat-way"

And all the Balkan and whisky and laughter couldn't get us home any faster

But that's where I want to be with you

Where we can rest our bones, these floating particles

Kiss softly with our head in the clouds

Try and convince ourselves love is something tangible
