Andrew Bird - Shoulder Mountain lyrics
[Andrew Bird - Shoulder Mountain lyrics]
You walk into a room
And you are instantly feeling uncomfortable
But it was cold outside
Figures huddling smug and impenetrable
They have their backs to you
And their shoulders are forming
A mountain range they don't invite you in
Though you are of their ilk
And by no means strange
When you finally find your family
Will you be turning your back
On your former self?
It's a story of hypocrisy
Once was poor, is now a man of wealth
Will he be turning his back
On his former self?
Will he be turning his back?
Turning your back again?
Turning your back again?
Turning your back again on your former self
Oooh
How do we know when a stranger's
Not a god in disguise
Who will fallow your fields and make
You bleed from your eyes
Rain fire from the skies and for God's sakes
Open your door
They have their backs to you (Oooh)
They don't invite you in (Oooh)
Turning your back on your former self
Will you be turning your back?
Turning your back again
Turning your back on your former self oooh
You walk into a room
And you are instantly feeling uncomfortable
But it was cold outside
Figures huddling smug and impenetrable
How do we know when a stranger's
Not a god in disguise
Who will fallow your fields and make
You bleed from your eyes
Rain fire from the skies and for God's sakes
Open your door
And you are instantly feeling uncomfortable
But it was cold outside
Figures huddling smug and impenetrable
They have their backs to you
And their shoulders are forming
A mountain range they don't invite you in
Though you are of their ilk
And by no means strange
When you finally find your family
Will you be turning your back
On your former self?
It's a story of hypocrisy
Once was poor, is now a man of wealth
Will he be turning his back
On his former self?
Will he be turning his back?
Turning your back again?
Turning your back again?
Turning your back again on your former self
Oooh
How do we know when a stranger's
Not a god in disguise
Who will fallow your fields and make
You bleed from your eyes
Rain fire from the skies and for God's sakes
Open your door
They have their backs to you (Oooh)
They don't invite you in (Oooh)
Turning your back on your former self
Will you be turning your back?
Turning your back again
Turning your back on your former self oooh
You walk into a room
And you are instantly feeling uncomfortable
But it was cold outside
Figures huddling smug and impenetrable
How do we know when a stranger's
Not a god in disguise
Who will fallow your fields and make
You bleed from your eyes
Rain fire from the skies and for God's sakes
Open your door
