Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Store

In the five minutes worth of lost time that I had,

When I was passed out on the supermarket floor,

I saw you at the head of the heavenly chorus.

And I heard your song ringing all through the store.

In the five minutes when my broadcast got pre-empted,

I saw you touch down. you were no longer dead.

I was happy to see ya. I had lots of questions.

And I put my hand to the wound in your head.

Ah, the blood!

All of that blood!

All of that warm blood flowing freely from you.

In the five minutes when I was dead to the world,

In a place far away from my friends and my home,

I saw you with a smile on your radiant face,

Amidst all of the cans and the glass and the chrome.

And in those five minutes, my signal was jammed.

The frequencies that I received were so pure,

That I almost believed that the sight of the hole in your skull

Was a thing that my heart could endure.

Ah, the blood!

All of that blood!

All of that warm blood flowing freely from you!
