Spitting Venom
Modest Mouse
We were spitting venom at most everyone we know
If the damned gave us a road map, then we'd know just where to go
Now let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off
Well you were talking soda pop
You were talking quite a lot
The opinions that I do not give are the opinions I ain't got
So let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Let it all fall off there now
Well you were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity you'd know which way to go
Well let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off
My ears were pressing firmly right against your mouth to hear
When you tried to spit the venom out your words were not so clear
Now drop
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Hold on to what you need
We've got a map of messed up history
Well we went downtown
And we sat in the rain
But we look in one direction
And waiting for a train
And thought over
Thought over
I don't know who kept track
I didn't know there was a score
But it looks like you're the winner
And I ain't gonna play no more
Its over
Game over
Well we walked real stiff
And I came inside ground
You hit me with yours
And said "pull yourself together
Its over"
Well its over
You can say what you want
But don't act like you care
It takes more than one person to know exactly what's fair
Its over
Think it over
You were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If the damned gave you a road map, then you'd know just where to go
So we carried all the groceries in
While hauling out the trash
And if this doesn't make us motionless
I do not know what can
So to say what a rotten thing to say
Such an awful thing to say
I didn't mean to bite you, sorry
I always did what I always did
What I always had to sling
So let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Let it all fall off
Let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Let it all fall off
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
Cheer up baby, it wasn't always quite so bad
For every bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
