[Modest Mouse - What People Are Made Of lyrics]
What's up? Make love?
Ragweed tall
Better hope that his ladder don't crack
Or he'll hit the ground low
Hard and under his back
At the battle at the bottom of the
Ocean where the dead do rise
You need proof, I got proof at the surface
You can watch 'em float by
Way in back of the room, there sit's a cage
Inside is the clock that you can win
If you can guess it's age
Which you never can do 'cause the time
It constantly changes
For lack or luck, I guess that is the saying
On the first page of the Book of Blue
It read "If you read this page
Then that'll be your death"
By then it was too late, and you wound up on
An island of shells and bones
That bodies had left
And the one thing you taught me
'bout human beings was this
They ain't made of nothin' but water and shit
Alright
Ragweed tall
Better hope that his ladder don't crack
Or he'll hit the ground low
Hard and under his back
At the battle at the bottom of the
Ocean where the dead do rise
You need proof, I got proof at the surface
You can watch 'em float by
Way in back of the room, there sit's a cage
Inside is the clock that you can win
If you can guess it's age
Which you never can do 'cause the time
It constantly changes
For lack or luck, I guess that is the saying
On the first page of the Book of Blue
It read "If you read this page
Then that'll be your death"
By then it was too late, and you wound up on
An island of shells and bones
That bodies had left
And the one thing you taught me
'bout human beings was this
They ain't made of nothin' but water and shit
Alright
