Modest Mouse - Parting of the Sensory lyrics

There's no work in walking
And it fueled the talk
I would grab my shoes, and then away I'd walk
Through all the stubborn beauty I'd
Start at the dawn until the sun had fully
Stopped never walking away
From just a way to pull
Apart dehydrate back into minerals
A lifelong walk to the same exact spot

Carbon's anniversary
The parting of the sensory
Old, old news to read
The parting of the sensory

Who the hell made you the boss?
(They laid traps at the exact same spot)
We placed our chips in all the right spots
But still lost! (Carbon’s on for display)
Any shithead who had ever walked
(There I opened up and I walked)


Could take the ship and do a much finer job
This fit's like clothes made out of wasps!
(You don’t know when the fuck you’re
Goin’ to the same damn spot)
Oh, fuck it, I guess I lost
(You were supposed to know it all gets lost)

The parting of the sensory
Carbon's anniversary
Just part of the game, if you please
Carbon's anniversary

Who the hell made you the boss?
(I burned my ships and then all the docks)
If you say what to do
I know what not to stop
(I’ll follow them guys to the same damn spot)
If you were the ship
Then who would ever get on?
The weather changed and for the worse
(Hoooooo, Who the hell made you the boss?)
It came down on us like it had been rehearsed
(Hoooooo) not like you hoped
But change will surely come
(Hoooooo, Like hell, I made you the boss)
And be awful for most
But really good for some
(Hoooooo, Who the hell made you the boss?)
I pulled your trip to the exact same spot
(Hoooooo, I don’t where the
Fuck we’re goin’ to, the same dame spot)
We pulled the trigger
But we forgot to cock at every single shot
(Carbon’s anniversary, Single shot)
Ah, fuck it, I guess we lost
(Carbon’s anniversary, all right)

Someday you will die, and somehow
Something's gonna steal your carbon, hey
(Someday you will die somehow
And something's gonna steal your carbon)
Someday you will die somehow, and
Something's gonna steal your carbon
Hey hey hey
(Someday you will die and somehow
Something's gonna steal your ca-a-arbon)

Well, someday you will die somehow and
Something's gonna steal your carbon
(Someday you will die somehow and
Something's gonna steal your)
Someday you will die and someone's or
Something will steal your carbon
(If I were you, and I was you
Then I have died for you
Someday you will die somehow and
Something's gonna steal your, Aww)
Someday something will die and somehow
You'll figure out how often
You will die somehow and something's
Gonna steal your carbon
Something will die and you will
Probably just steal it's carbon

(Yeeeew) someday you will die somehow and
Something's gonna steal your carbon
Hey hey hey
(You will somehow die and I’ll watch
You go and lose your carbon)
Someday, somehow
Or something will die and you
Will steal it's carbon
Somehow you will die and you
Will figure out how often
(You will somehow die and I’ll watch
You go and lose your carbon)
You will die somehow and something's
Gonna steal your carbon
(Someday you will die somehow and
Someone's gonna steal your carbon)
(You will somehow die and I’ll watch
You go and lose your carbon)
Someday you will die somehow and
Someone's gonna steal your carbon, hey
(You will somehow die and I’ll watch
You go and lose your carbon)
Someday you will die, and somehow
You will figure out how often

Someday you will die somehow
And something's gonna steal your carbon
(You will die, that’s just how it goes
You will finally lose your)
(Someday you will die somehow
And you are gonna lose your carbon)
You will die
And somehow something’s gonna steal your
(You are gonna make them steal your carbon)
All us have to figure out and find
Out we were bathed in carbon
(Well, someday you will die somehow
Something’s gonna use your)
You will figure out that somehow
You will lose your
(Someday you will die somehow
And you are gonna lose your carbon)
(Someday you will die and you
Are gonna die and)
Someday you will die somehow and someone's
Gonna steal all the carbon
(Someday you are gonna die and you are
Gonna have to lose your carbon)
