Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Half Dead

It was raining outside, so I cleaned house today

Spent half of the morning throwing old things away

Try not to get caught up

Try to think like a machine

Focus in on the task

Try not to think about what it means

Can't get you

Out of my head

Lost without you

Half dead

Took my spot at the window

Looked at the road

Dots and dashes of traffic

Like a message in code

And whole boxes of memories

Wrapped up at the curb

I sang songs to myself

Didn't have any words

Can't get you

Out of my head

Lost without you

Half dead

Stole out to the back yard late last night

Pine trees frozen in the silvery moonlight

Rising like giants from the cold earth

What are the years we gave each other

Ever gonna be worth?

Can't get you

Out of my head

Lost without you

Half dead
