The Mountain Goats - Deuteronomy 2 v10 lyrics

[Verse 1; all sung by John Darnielle] The sun above me and a concrete floor below Scratch at the chain links, maybe bare my teeth for show Fed twice a day, I don't go hungry anymore Feel in my bones just what the future has in store [Chorus 1] I pace in circles So the camera will see Look hard at my stripes There'll be no more after me [Verse 2] Laze by the shoreline while the sailors disembark Scratch out a place to sit and rest down in the dark Smell something burning downwind just a little ways They set up camp and sing and sweat and work for days [Chorus 2] I have no fear of anyone I'm dumb and wild and free I am a flightless bird And there'll be no more after me [Verse 3] In Costa Rica, in a burrow underground Climb to the surface, blink my eyes and look around I'm all alone here as I try my tiny song Claim my place beneath the sky, but I won't be here for long [Chorus 3] I sang all night The moon shone on me through the trees No brothers left And there'll be no more after me
