Modest Mouse - Spitting Venom lyrics

We were spittin’ venom
At most everyone we know
If the damned gave us a road map
Then we'd know just where to go

Now, let it drop let it all drop
Let it all drop ah, let it all fall off

Well, you were talking soda pop
You talked it quite a lot
The opinions that I do not give
And the opinions I ain't got

So, let it drop let it all drop
Let it all drop let it all fall off

(Well, oh, ahh, ooh)
Well, you were spitting venom
At most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity
You'd know which way to go



Well, let it drop let it all drop
Let it all drop oh, let it all fall off

My ears were pressed so firmly
Right against your mouth to hear
When you tried to spit the venom out
Your words were not so clear, now drop

Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for messed up history

Well, we went downtown
And we sat in the rain, both
Lookin’ one direction
And waitin’ for a train of thought over
Thought over i don’t who kept track
I didn't know there was a score
But it looks like you're the winner
I ain't gonna play no more it's over
Game over

Well, we walked real stiff
And our canes tapped the ground
You hit me with yours
And said "You’re gonna stare me down"
It's over oh, it's over
You can say what you want
But don't act like you care
It takes more than one person
To decide what's fair it's over
Think it over


You were spittin’ venom
At most everyone you know
If the damned gave you a road map
Then you'd know just where to go
So we carried all the groceries in
While haulin’ out the trash
And if this doesn't make us motionless
I do not know what can
So’s to say, oh, what a rotten thing to say
Such an awful thing to say
I didn't mean to bite you, sorry
What always did, what "always" did
What always had to slang

So, let it drop let it all drop
Let it all drop oh, let it all fall off
Let it drop let it all drop
Let it all drop oh, let it all fall off

Cheer up, baby it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had, well cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had

Cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had, well cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had, well cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had, well cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
Every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had, well cheer up, baby
It wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had cheer up

Cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had, well cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had, well cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had, well cheer up, baby
It wasn't really always quite so bad
(The antidote was had)
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had

Cheer up, baby it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out
The antidote was had
