The Mountain Goats - Dark In Here lyrics
[The Mountain Goats - Dark In Here lyrics]
Steal away at sundown, pick a place to hide
Check for signs of ambush, hunker down inside
Tired of running, tired of never standing still
Hear them riding up the hill
Men whose ribs are showing through their skin
Bringing up the rear
It's high noon somewhere
It's dark in here
Stack my ammunition, be ready when you come
You who thirst for action, I will give you some
When the smoke dies down, you can rest assured
We will know who kept his word
You who stood so proud once
I can taste your fear
You blazed like torches
It's dark in here
It's dark as a coal mine filling up with gas
I stand ready for the blast
Will you be ready when your moment comes?
Will your hand be steady when you reach down for your guns?
Did you leave your house in order when you came for me?
Is this really where you meant to be?
Just beyond your limits
Find the new frontier
I live in the darkness
It's dark in here
Check for signs of ambush, hunker down inside
Tired of running, tired of never standing still
Hear them riding up the hill
Men whose ribs are showing through their skin
Bringing up the rear
It's high noon somewhere
It's dark in here
Stack my ammunition, be ready when you come
You who thirst for action, I will give you some
When the smoke dies down, you can rest assured
We will know who kept his word
You who stood so proud once
I can taste your fear
You blazed like torches
It's dark in here
It's dark as a coal mine filling up with gas
I stand ready for the blast
Will you be ready when your moment comes?
Will your hand be steady when you reach down for your guns?
Did you leave your house in order when you came for me?
Is this really where you meant to be?
Just beyond your limits
Find the new frontier
I live in the darkness
It's dark in here
