The Mountain Goats - Thucydides II-58 lyrics

1, 2, 3 and Red face at noon Stripped naked we can't get free And doubling over in the street Dozens just like me Spreading like a rumor Spreading like a rumor And the doctors come traveling house to house And they visit the sick each day Sit with them there until they're gone Die quicker that way Save who they save On their way down to the grave Spreading like a rumor Spreading like a rumor Run to the altars beg for shade Take to the high sea thousand strong Hang on to your goodness when you can Sweat it out all night long And listen for the old melody As it comes to me On a high wind down from Ethiopia On a high wind down from Ethiopia On a high wind down from Ethiopia On a high wind down from Ethiopia
