The Mountain Goats
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Crude little wooden idols
2
And aviator shades
3
The trinkets and the treasures we brought back from the Crusades
4
Some guy in an Impala shakes his head when he rides by
5
But I remember when we shared a vision, you and I
6
Worked hard to build this altar
7
We made it earn its keep
8
The cracks across its surface spiderweb while we're asleep
9
The sacrificial stains all spreading out and soaking through
10
But I remember when we kept it pretty, me and you
11
And high above the water
12
The eagle spots the fish
13
Every martyr in this jungle
14
Is gonna get his wish
15
Stock shots stupid stock shots
16
From the Pomona mall
17
Set up like unloved icons gathering dust up on the wall
18
From films no one remembers
19
They call down silently
20
But I remember when their names were dear to you and me
21
Yeah
22
Pennies on the dollar
23
Everything's gotta go
24
The things that we can't even give away
25
I don't wanna know
26
Try to see if secrets burn when you hold them up into the light
27
I remember when we loved each other day and night
28
And high above the water
29
The eagle spots the fish
30
Every martyr in this jungle
31
Is gonna get his wish
the mountain goats - no children
