The Mountain Goats
No Children (Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 1)
[Verse 1]
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I nеver come back to this town again
[Chorus 1]
In my life
I hopе I lie, and tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
[Verse 2]
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
Well, we're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
And I hope I never get sober
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
[Chorus 2]
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we all die
[Instrumental Interlude]
That's right
[Outro]
Thank you, good night!
It really is weird playing that song, just completely dry, sober. With nobody... nobody's screaming
No people hugging each other, mashing face
It's probably, like, ten clicks slower than the encore tempo
Yeah, my encore's not gonna be, haha
