Burned My Tongue

The Mountain Goats

9 acessos

Woke up this morning about a quarter to five
Said the prayer you'd taught me to keep myself alive,
It burned my tongue.
It burned my tongue.

Fried some grains in butter,
Said a simple grace,
Sat down at the table,
Fed my greedy face.
It burned my tongue.
It burned my tongue.

Looked out at the ocean
I could see it so clear.
Said the only name
I can ever stand to hear.
It burned my tongue
It burned my tongue.

When i ask you to sing with me
I wish you'd sing along.
Thirty years in this world --
Thirty years too long.
It burns my tongue.
It burns my tongue.

You tooks away my friends.
You took my will to live.
I gave you all i got.
What more have i got to give?
It burns my tongue.
It burns my tongue.
It burns my tongue.
It burns my tongue.

Dont like going to the doctor.
I don't like looking at the mirror.
I like looking out the window,
Watching the waves break.
Do i have to hit you over the head with it?
Do i have to hit you over the head with it?

Tired of talking to the suckers,
I'm tired of talking to the wealthy.
I want to talk to men and women
Who haven't got anything left.
Do i have to hit you over the head with it?
Do i have to hit you over the head with it?

Carry me down to the water
Where i used to play when i was five.
Let me go, let me go down to the water.
Don't bring me back alive.
Do i have to hit you over the head with it?
Do i have to hit you over the head with it?
