《Missed the Boat》歌词

[00:00:00] Missed The Boat - Modest Mouse

[00:00:42] While we're on the subject

[00:00:44] Could we change the subject now

[00:00:46] I was knocking on your ears

[00:00:47] Don't worry you were always out

[00:00:51] Looking towards the future

[00:00:53] We were begging for the past

[00:00:55] Well we knew we had the good things

[00:00:57] But those never seemed to last

[00:00:59] Oh please just last

[00:01:09] Everyone's unhappy

[00:01:12] Everyone's ashamed

[00:01:14] Well we all just got caught looking

[00:01:16] At somebody else's page

[00:01:19] Well nothing ever went

[00:01:21] Quite exactly as we planned

[00:01:23] Our ideas held no water

[00:01:25] But we used them like a damn

[00:01:30] Oh and we carried it all so well

[00:01:35] As if we got a new position

[00:01:38] Oh and I laugh all the way to hell

[00:01:44] Saying yes this is a fine promotion

[00:01:47] Oh and I laugh all the way to hell

[00:01:54] Of course everyone goes crazy

[00:01:57] Over such and such and such

[00:02:00] We made ourselves a pillar

[00:02:02] We just used it as a crutch

[00:02:04] We were suddenly uncertain

[00:02:06] At least I'm pretty sure I am

[00:02:09] Well we didn't need the water

[00:02:11] But we just built that go god damn

[00:02:14] Oh and I know this all myself

[00:02:21] I stood in front for all the people

[00:02:24] Oh and I know this all myself

[00:02:30] We listen while life hangs on

[00:02:35] And the sound of life's sweet bliss

[00:03:00] Was it ever worth it

[00:03:02] Was there all that much to gain

[00:03:05] Well we knew we missed the boat

[00:03:07] And we'd already missed the plane

[00:03:10] We didn't read the invite

[00:03:11] We just dance at our wake

[00:03:14] All our favorites were playing

[00:03:16] So we could shake shake shake shake shake

[00:03:19] Tiny curtains open

[00:03:21] And we heard the tiny clap of little hands

[00:03:23] A tiny man would tell a little joke

[00:03:26] And get a tiny laugh from all the folks

[00:03:28] Sitting drifting around in bubbles

[00:03:29] And thinking it was us that carried them

[00:03:32] When we finally got it figured out

[00:03:34] That we had truly missed the boat

[00:03:38] Oh and we carried it all so well

[00:03:44] As if we got a new position

[00:03:46] Oh and we owned all the tools ourselves

[00:03:53] But not the skills to make a shelf with

[00:03:56] Oh what useless tools ourselves

[00:04:01] END
