#3rd planet

Well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth

"3rd Planet" ■ Modest Mouse ■ The Moon & Antarctica (2000)

3rd planet

the universe began

with a separation.

everything

pulling

away

from everything else.

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart I've got this thing 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 promised 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 Well, outside naked, shivering looking blue From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon And, 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

Well, a third had just been made and we were swimming in the water Didn't know then was it a son, was it a daughter And 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

Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough, you'll end up where you were The universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough, you'll end up where you were The universe is shaped exactly like the earth

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 Well outside naked, shivering looking blue From the cold sunlight, that's reflected off the moon And they become 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

Well, a third had just been made and we were swimming in the water Didn't know then was it a son, was it a daughter And 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

Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough, you'll end up where you were The universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough, you'll end up where you were The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
