MODEST MOUSE lyrics : "education"

Call it education
It was somewhere in between
You gave me some sound advice

But I wasn't listening

After we had capsized

I could tell you how you'd fall
Well, I'm not sure
If I laid to rest on the ceiling or the wall


Not quite conversation
It was somewhere in between

You said everything you thought
And I listened patiently


All this dog and pony
We're still monkeys the whole time
We could not help from flinging %#@!

In our modern suits and ties

Our instincts, they were cringing

About how we lived our lives
It didn't seem like we'd lived enough
To even get to die


All these dense distractions
So beautifully complex

Well, I loved life's surprises so much
I don't want to know what's ahead


Stubborn shouted and said
"Don't do what you do"
I don't know, Couldn't really hear.

Highly if you highly care?
And you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

Ah very well




Hardly education
It was somewhere in between

Oh, I hit the roof but I had
Aimed for the ceiling


Hardly education
All them books I didn't read
They just sat there on my shelf

Looking much smarter than me

Good ol' Nostradamus

He knew the whole damn time
There'd always be an east from west
Someone in them fighting


Stubborn shouted, said
"I don't do what you do"

I don't know, couldn't really hear.
Highly if you highly care?
And you don't. Ah very well.

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I don't know anyway
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

I don't know anyway
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I don't know, couldn't really hear.

Highly if you highly care?
And sure don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

Ah very well
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

Oh, very well, then

Oh, very well, then
