The Mountain Goats - Alpha Rats Nest lyrics

Ah, the lengthening hours in the refinery Belching fire into the sky We do our best vampire routines As we s** the dying hours dry The night is lovely as a rose If I see sunlight hit you I am sure that we'll both decompose Ah, the fitful sleep and the fire engines That I dream of when I dream Someday we'll both wake up for good I will try hard not to scream The evening wind will shake the blinds You're stirring from your slumber We've got something hateful on our minds Oh, sing, sing, sing For the dying of the day Sing for the flames that will rip through here And the smoke that will carry us away Yeah, sing for the damage we've done And the worse things that we'll do Open your mouth up and sing for me now And I will sing for you
