Lyrics of Montreal

of Montreal

Hegira Émigré

Up in the hills they are

Having a white riot with no violence

Or protesting for change,

They simply buy it.

If you're think I'm Caucasian,

Well I'm actually gray.

I was conceived on Ash Wednesday

And stoned on Christmas day.

My baby's meditating to stop the war,

But I got myself a rifle

'Cause I ain't gonna get

Walked on anymore.

Out my window I see a battle of hawks.

My best friend has been dead for years,

But still we have great talks.

And just like the planets we will

Never touch, just float around in space

Not expecting very much.

My baby's meditating to stop the war,

But I got myself a rifle

'Cause I ain't gonna get

Walked on anymore.

We feel such hunger like vampire bats,

I got myself a gang

And we're called the (sleek rats?).

I was out in the desert,

Hunting UFO while I

Saw scorpions and aliens I already know.

My baby's meditating to stop the war,

But I got myself a rifle

'Cause I ain't gonna get

Walked on anymore.

She gave him head till she

Lost a tooth, that's what she gets for

Molesting people in the DJ booth.

I used to be a palace, now I'm

Just a dive. I'm made widow out of you

Even though I'm still alive.

My baby's vegetating to stop the war,

But I got myself a rifle

'Cause I ain't gonna get

Walked on anymore.
