The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box (Explicit) - Modest Mouse

Open up a window

All the air oh the air it's falling out

Eyes vacuum up light

Sound gets trapped by the mouth

We'll deal with the remainder

When the dents

The dents get hammered out

Then we'll travel through time

The world's an inventor with it's work

Crawling running squirming around

Trees drop colorful fruits

Directly into our mouths

The world's an inventor

We're the dirtiest thing it's thought about

And we really don't mind

We'll probably never get there

Bring your sight seers school teachers down

It's a water color weekend

All the trees are turning colors now

We'll probably never get there

Bring your candy taster time wasters around

And we'll f**k with their minds

The world composes with it's

Shirt tails wrinkled hanging out

Bang us together see what sort

Of sounds we make right now

The world plays music

Playing skin on teeth inside of a mouth

What sort of sounds

What lovely sounds come about

We greased all the ropes

We'll throw you a line

We're gonna break these boulders

We're gonna travel time

We greased all the ropes

We'll throw you a line

We're gonna break these boulders

We're gonna travel time

We're gonna throw a party

All the ghosts of trees are coming out

Don't look any direction

Wait until the light's inside of the clouds

You're gonna wanna see this

Don't bring your camera around

Watch sun and sawdust align

We greased all the ropes

We'll throw you a line

We're gonna break these boulders

We're gonna travel time

We greased all the ropes

We'll throw you a line

We're gonna break these boulders

We're gonna travel time

Close up the window

All the air the air is falling out

Eyes vacuum up light

Sound gets trapped by the mouth

Our predecessor left this box

And something's clawing around

I think it really wants out
