The Mountain Goats - Supergenesis lyrics

In the twinkling of an eye, my sentence gets pa**ed And I drop to the ground and I go slithering through the gra** Carving out battle lines as I crawl Find a hollow branch to rest in, slip inside Wait for mice to poke their heads in, jaw hinged open wide Hang by my tail, listening for the call [Chorus] Cause someday, someday the call will sound And we all, we all are gonna get up from the ground Feel the wet leaves pressed against me, cling like drowning men Try to hoist myself upright, again, try again Hold on to the memories all night And where my legs and arms once sprouted, skin is smooth and slick Rub the smooth spots on some rough rocks, I feel cold and sick Hold on to the battle plan, hold tight [Chorus] Cause someday, someday, the call will sound And we all, we all are gonna get up from the ground
