Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Unicorn Tolerance

Drawn to the dark

Covered by the blood when possible

Call to the corners

To any open Crucible

Easy to reach

Bearing every mark unmissibly

Wanna leave behind some token of what I carried with me

Search in the storm drains

Sleep in the underpasses

Try hard to look hard

Behind my blackout sunglasses

But I have high unicorn tolerance

I have high unicorn tolerance

I have high unicorn tolerance

I have high unicorn tolerance

Swim with real sharks

Those who never speak when spoken to

Hard limits fade into memory

Once broken through

Scaling the well

Every single day instinctively

Feel shame real shame

For what my friends must think of me

Dig through the graveyard

Rub the bones against my face

It gets real nice around the graveyard

Once you've acquired the taste

And when the clouds do clear away

Get a momentary chance to see

The thing I've been trying to beat to death

The soft creature that I used to be

The better animal I used to be

Draw where I'm drawn

Seldom wonder why just follow you

Never blame the rags that swallowed me

For the place the river took me to

Long life to the spiders

Safe travels to the crow

Love to the ghosts

Who taught me everything I know

But I have high unicorn tolerance

I have high unicorn tolerance

But I have high unicorn tolerance

I have high unicorn tolerance
