[00:00.00]Modest Mouse - Missed The Boat
[00:39.82]
[00:41.82]While we're on the subject
[00:43.58]Could we change the subject now?
[00:45.74]I was knocking on your ears
[00:47.82]Don't worry, you were always out
[00:50.92]Looking towards the future
[00:52.77]We were begging for the past
[00:54.82]Well we knew we had the good things
[00:57.36]But those never seemed to last
[00:59.30]Oh please just last
[01:01.20]
[01:09.46]Everyone's unhappy
[01:11.67]Everyone's ashamed
[01:13.58]Well we all just got caught looking
[01:15.74]At somebody else's page
[01:18.21]Well nothing ever went
[01:20.37]Quite exactly as we planned
[01:22.55]Our ideas held no water
[01:24.96]But we used them like a damn
[01:26.90]
[01:27.60]Oh, and we carried it all so well
[01:34.58]As if we got a new position
[01:37.32]Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
[01:43.74]Saying yes, this is a fine promotion
[01:46.43]Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
[01:52.37]
[01:55.34]Of course everyone goes crazy
[01:57.28]Over such and such and such
[01:59.71]We made ourselves a pillar
[02:01.84]We just used it as a crutch
[02:04.15]We were suddenly uncertain
[02:06.18]At least I'm pretty sure I am
[02:08.83]Well we didn't need the water
[02:10.93]But we just built that go god damn[02:14.27]Oh, and I know this all myself
[02:20.68]I stood in front for all the people
[02:23.24]Oh, and I know this all myself
[02:29.98]We listen while life hangs on
[02:32.35]And the sound of life's sweet bliss
[02:38.53]
[03:00.28]Was it ever worth it?
[03:01.97]Was there all that much to gain?
[03:04.20]Well we knew we missed the boat
[03:06.34]And we'd already missed the plane
[03:08.88]We didn't read the invite
[03:11.12]We just dance at our wake
[03:13.40]All our favorites were playing
[03:15.50]So we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake[03:18.59]Tiny curtains open
[03:20.07]and we heard the tiny clap of little hands
[03:22.67]A tiny man would tell a little joke
[03:24.85]and get a tiny laugh from all the folks
[03:27.44]Sitting drifting around in bubbles
[03:29.40]and thinking it was us that carried them
[03:32.05]When we finally got it figured out
[03:34.01]that we had truly missed the boat
[03:36.19]
[03:37.24]Oh, and we carried it all so well
[03:43.79]As if we got a new position
[03:46.34]Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves
[03:53.05]But not the skills to make a shelf with
[03:55.43]Oh, what useless tools ourselves
[04:02.09]
