Modest Mouse - The Fruit That Ate Itself lyrics

We'll take a drive in the wrong hand lane
Bad breath talking about fresh rain
What hand? What hand is going
To shake the same? Are you gonna be your
Own goddamn best friend?
Well, we taught the fruit how to eat it'self
It was hanging out alone all on the shelf
(It was hanging out by it'self)
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well
Well

How do I land? How do I land? How do I land?
'Cause, I don't understand

Walk across the country, shaking many hands
And you're buying the product
But, you didn't get that you already got it
And you do not understand
(You went to Moldy Muffin and
You got yourself a muffin
And you went to the chicken and
You asked him for the stuffing
You want a different view so
You rotate the whole island
And you need to build a house
So you might a plan)

Well, take a drive in the wrong hand lane
Bad, bad breath talking 'bout fresh rain
What hand is going to shake the same?
Are you gonna be your
Own goddamn best friend?
Well, we taught the fruit how to eat it'self
It was hanging out alone all on the shelf
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well
Well

The winner gets the muffin and
You got yourself a muffin
And you think you're pretty tough
But you ain't done nothing
And you're goin' to the phone
You're gonna get animal
You're gonna drop a cold
Maybe you'll go to hell
A black hole talking about nothing
You can't get the chicken or the stuffing
Going around and you think that you're tough
When you can't kick ass
(And the winner wants the muffin
And you got yourself muffin
And the black hole and
You're talking about nothing
And you think that you said something
But you didn't say nothing
And I think that I heard you
But I was listening to my headphones)

Take a drive on a downtown train
Wake up so you can get drunk again
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well
(nuffin' and you bought yourself a muffin
But, you wiped your nose on nuffin'
And you bought yourself a muffin
And you want a different view so
You searched the whole wide island
And you go to the saloon
And got yourself some water
And you get drunk and
You're gettin' real sober
And you're gettin' real young and
You're gettin' real older
And you're gettin' real nevous and
You're givin' them hell
And you didn't notice)

Well, take a drive in the wrong hand lane
Got bad breath talking 'bout fresh rain
We taught the mirror how to admire it'self
Are you gonna get sick
Worrying 'bout your health?
(You walk across the country and
You move the product
But, you do not get what you already got
When you get on the train, usually
You're kissing
But, you wake up and you feel OK)
(You know I won't guarantee you
Picked the worst island
And get a different view so
You rotate the whole island
And you think can do what you really do
And you need to buy a house so you feel OK)

Where do I land? Where do I
Land? Where do I land?
'Cause, I don't understand

Well, you ache in your bones and
You think you're too insane
But, you can't, you can't, you can't explain
But, you complain and it's already nothing
And you go to nose and nose
And eat yourself a muffin
(You went to moldy muffin and
You got yourself a muffin
And you want a different view so
You rotate the whole island
And you go to the saloon
And got yourself some water
And you get and you went to swimming pool
And you look at your pockets and
You think you need contacts
Someone's had a little too much to
Put on to their plates
And you're hoping they be a bit more empty)
A black hole talking about nothing
You went to moldy muffin and
You got yourself a muffin
A black hole talking about nothing
A black (black) hole talking about nothing
You get chicken but you don't get stuffing
It doesn't mean all that much, you know?
