Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

For Charles Bronson

Catch a lucky break, try to make it last

Rig a blanket curtain up between the present and the past

Play my lucky numbers for most of what they're worth

Lie about my age right down to my last day on this earth

Set your sights on good fortune, concentrate

Pull back the hammer, try to hold the gun straight

Hit the gym each night, stay cool and seldom speak

Keep the heart of a champion, never let them see you're weak

And whatever they say on your page three mention

Focus on the parts that make you feel good, be grateful for the attention

Set your sights on good fortune, concentrate

Pull back the hammer, try to hold the gun straight

Try to hold the gun straight

And true and steady

Let the frame you

When the cameraman's ready

Work until I drop

Drift from place to place

Ehrenfield, Pennsylvania

Scratched into my face

Set your sights on good fortune, concentrate

Pull back the hammer, try to hold the gun straight

Try to hold the gun straight
