The Mountain Goats - In The Craters On The Moon lyrics

If the strain proves too much Give up right away If the light hurts your eyes Stay in your room all day When the room fills with smoke Lie down on the floor In the declining years Of the long war When the blood's in the water And the shark's going to come And we swim in the dark Until our bodies are numb Blind desert rats in the moonlight Too far from shore In the declining years Of the long war Empty room with a light bulb When the phone starts to ring Everybody gets nervous Nobody says anything The next day someone's initials Show up on the door I think I'm going to crack Can't live like this anymore Ugly things in the darkness Worse things in store In the declining years Of the long war
