The Mountain Goats - Midland lyrics

Come and stay with me as long as you like I live outside of town where the straight highway curves For three years I lived next door to the airport So nothing you can say to me can get on my nerves Stay 'til you feel your legs underneath you again I've got room in my house for you I got a Kenmore single room window unit air conditioner Cools down the place in the full heat of day A family of possums have made their home underneath the front steps They are majestic in their own beady eyed homely way Stay 'til you can breathe like normal people do I've got room in my house for you They tore down the airport in 1981 This is where I came when I ran out of places to run Come, come, come and stay with me out here away from things Come and stay with me where the sky's real clear I live way out where no one believes anybody could live The sky's purple from six in the evening 'til midnight out here Stay 'til the world goes down in flames I've got room, room in my house for you
