Gerard Way as The Mountain Goat lyrics

Let the bright colors come blushing gently back to the

Cherry blossom trees, around Pontiac

And guys in powder blue starter jackets

Down on the street

Let them come up from the corners

I start to sweat I can't cool down

I'm scared of all the strangers in this town

I try to tell you just why I've come

It's like I've got molasses on my tongue

I made it through town somehow

But who's going to save me now?

I'm out of my element I can't breathe

I'm out of my element

You bought me a rabbit to keep me company

And I'm here in my car and the rabbit's here with me

Heading out highway one, respecting posted speed limits

And I tried to figure this one out but I can't find any meaning

And I'm sick and tired of trying to figure out your gestures

The old buildings stood tall against the sky

The windows had old sheets hanging over them

Doubling as curtains

And the silhouettes moving in the bright lights behind the curtains

Looked like you

I stopped moving momentarily

The world will

Stand still on nights like these

Without any kind of warning

Oh my god look at them

i saw the ceiling spin.

and i saw the room shift.

and i watched the television flicker.

and i let my mind drift.

i would give anything in the world up for you,

but i will not stop.

i saw the blossom form.

and i saw the screen glow.

and i let my arm fall to my side.

and i took one step back.

i would give anything in the world up for you,

The sky's opening up like an old wound

And the rain on our bodies is warm tonight

And the ground underneath us shakes in the cracking thunder

We can taste fresh blood in our mouths again

There is no chance of getting enough of it

I came toward your window, real slowly

I knew deep down I was about to strike oil

I guess by the now the flowers in your garden know me

I felt them trying to get at me through the soil

My bare feet felt the cool, soft dirt

Moving up my ankles, but I don't fear you

The thorns began tearing at my shirt

But I didn't even care when they tore clear through

Your garden can't hurt me

I'll bet I'm the best house guest

House guest you've ever had

I never leave my socks around

I always keep the TV down

And when I leave

The blood is pooling underneath me

Flowing freely from my mouth

You wanna call a medevac, now?

Knock yourself out

You can tell them when they get here

You tried

But the smallest hole was several inches wide

Bleed out

I can't think of one thing in this whole wide blessed world

That's more dangerous and frightening

Than you when you get bored

And we go though scads of money

Don't know where it comes from

Don't know where it goes

And we stare, out the window

See the poison flowers the neighbours grow

Sprouting up in nice neat rows

The swelling in our limbs

The twinkle in your eye

Good things never last

When the villagers come to my door,

I will hide underneath the table in the dining room,

knees drawn to my chest.

When the villagers come to my door,

I will breathe shallow breaths from high up in my stomach

ah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah

Waiting for the front door to splinter,

I always get a late start when the sun's going down

And the traffic's thinning out and the glare is hard to take

I wish the West Texas Highway was a mobius strip
