Modest Mouse - Third Planet lyrics

[Modest Mouse - Third Planet lyrics]

Everything that keeps me together
Is fallin' apart
I've got this thing that I consider my
Only art of fuckin' people over
My boss just quit the job
Says he's goin' out to find blind
Spots and he'll do it the 3rd planet is sure
That they're bein' watched
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped
When you get to the promised land
You're gonna shake that eye's hand

Your heart felt good
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Well, outside naked, shiverin' lookin' blue
From the cold sunlight that's
Reflected off the moon
And, baby cum angels fly around you
Remindin' you we used to be
Three and not just two

And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end

Well, a third had just been made and
We were swimmin' in the water
Didn't know then was it a son
Was it a daughter and it occurred to me that
The animals are swimmin'
Around in the water, in the oceans
In our bodies and another had been found
Another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood Is
Just like the Atlantic, and how

Well, the universe is shaped
Exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough
You'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough
You'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth

Your heart felt good
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Well outside naked, shiverin' lookin' blue
From the cold sunlight
That's reflected off the moon
And they become angels, fly around you
Remindin' you we used to be
Three and not just two

And that's how, the world, began
And that's how, the world, will end
Well, a third had just been made and
We were swimmin' in the water
Didn't know then was it a son
Was it a daughter and it occurred to me that
The animals are swimmin'
Around in the water, in the oceans
In our bodies and another had been found
Another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood Is
Just like the Atlantic, and how

Well, the universe is shaped
Exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough
You'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough
You'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth

Everything that keeps me together
Is fallin' apart
I've got this thing that I consider my
Only art of fuckin' people over
