MODEST MOUSE LYRICS - Florida

"Florida"



Although we often wondered

It was no thing of wonder

The shit that flew from our minds

Grass stains and fresh fruit

Reminds our shoes of horse glue

On this ridiculous climb

With great tunnel vision

We built ourselves a mission

To ride out motives decide

Oh, with vague description

Of what we have been missing

So why would anyone try?



It was always worth it

That's the part I seem to hide

And the busy ant empire

Put all your clothes inside



I wasn't always cargo

I was once kind of my own



I guess I'll pack up my mind

It took so much effort

Not to make an effort

Oh, what a flawless design



It was always worth it

That's the part I seem to hide

And the busy ant empire

Put all your clothes inside



Even as I left Florida

(yee-ha)



It was always worth it

That's the part I seem to hide

And the busy ant empire

Put all your clothes inside



Even as I left Florida

Far enough, far enough

Wasn't far enough



Couldn't quite seem to escape myself

Far enough, far enough

Far from Florida

We were all drowsing in cruise control

Far enough, far enough

Wasn't far enough



I stood on my heart supports thinkin'

"Oh my God, I'll probably have to carry this whole load."

I couldn't remember if I tried

I couldn't remember if I took my brain out, threw it so directly a the goal

I couldn't remember if I...

I could have my mind erased

And still not know exactly what I don't already know



Even as I left Florida
