MODEST MOUSE LYRICS - Third Planet

"Third Planet"



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 goin' 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 your gonna shake that eye's hand

Your heart felt good it was drippin' pitch and made of wood

And your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me

Outside naked, shiverin' 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
