Lyrics of Montreal

of Montreal

A Man's Life Flashing Before His Eyes While He and His Wife Drive Off a Cliff into the Ocean

I heard a human voice in an adding machine and my brain slipped out of my ear

Which made it hard to hear

A customer clapping in approval

A bird flew

through the window

And he sucked it

right into his mouth

I looked on the floor and saw

The carpet was turning to glass

I lifted my feet very fast and ran out the door

I walked to a bus stop there I waited the bus

And when it finally arrived I climbed up inside

A lady sat down beside me

She gave me a mirror

When I looked in it I saw I was her

This made me forget that I was

Driving at night with my wife

She's so beautiful the love of my life

We drove into the sea
