Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Beautiful Gas Mask

Come hard through the fog

Blindfolded and bound

'Till we stand at the edge

Of a hole in the ground

We hold hands and we jump

And as we fall we sing

Paupers hammering the walls of the castle

Going to meet the king

Never sleep, remember to breathe deep

Never sleep, remember to breathe

Breathe deep

Crash in from deep space

Shot birds falling fast

Who will be there to catch us in his jaws

When we arrive, alive at last?

I can't hear you in the dark

Wish I knew where you'd gone

Know you're there, off in the shadows somewhere

Try to soldier on

Never sleep, remember to breathe deep

Never sleep, remember to breathe

Breathe deep and breathe humbly

Secure your mouthpiece when you can

Toxic shades adorn the walls

As we rise from our knees

Someone's coming to reward us, you wait and see

Or crush us both like fleas

Never sleep, remember to breathe deep

Never sleep, remember to breathe

Breathe deep
