Modest Mouse Lyrics

1. Third Planet

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I’ve got this things that I consider my only art 
of fucking people over.
My boss just quit the job, says he’s going out
to find blind spots and he’ll do it.

The 3rd planet is sure that they’re being watched 
by an eye in the sky that can’t be stopped.
When you get to the promise land, 
you’re gonna shake that eye’s hand.

Your heart felt good, 
it was dripping pitch and made of wood.
And your hands and knees 
felt cold and wet on the grass to me.
Outside naked, shivering looking blue, 
from the cold sunlight that’s reflected off the moon.
Baby cum angels fly around you 
reminding you we used to be three and not just two.

And that’s how the world began.
And that’s how the world will end.

A 3rd had just been made 
and we were swimming in the water, 
didn’t know then,
was it a son, was it a daughter?
When it occurred to me 
that the animals are swimming around in the water 
in the oceans in our bodies, 
and another had been found, 
another ocean on the planet
given that our blood is just like the Atlantic.
And how.

The universe is shaped exactly like the earth.  
If you go straight long enough you’ll end up where you were.
