The Mountain Goats - Sourdoire Valley Song lyrics

Bang the small rocks on the big ones 'Till the small ones are sharp and clean Catch something, k** something New blade cuts real keen And then the gra** grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge Half a world away from the Olduvai gorge Chew these roots for a toothache Chew these ones for atmosphere Dream the pleasant dreams that people dream When they grow up down here And then the gra** grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge Half a world away from the Olduvai gorge Take care of the old man See if he's in pain Have somebody stay with him Comfort him when he complains Keep to ourselves mostly Few friends and fewer closer friends Lead a long life if you're lucky Hope it never ends And then the gra** grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge Half a world away from the Olduvai gorge
