The Mountain Goats
Korean Bird Paintings
[Intro]
[Verse]
Yesterday I put in a good five hours
Talking to the statues
Chased your memory all around the room
Didn't manage to catch you
But I cleaned out the savings account
Blew everything I had on flowers and I
Covered up the furniture in carnations
Rolled around for hours
There are those of you, who got the wrong idea right now
But man you should've seen me when I got through
Indistinguishable from a fourth-century Briton
Waiting on the couch for you and
I put all the extras on the credit card
Bubbles of the galaxy and mylar balloons
Everything we'd saved up in
One room at the same time
Cartoon stars, crescent moons
Thank you notes, get well cards
Condolences, congratulations
Bright colors, hues and signals
Reminders and reverberations
[Outro]
