Murder at the 18th St. Garage The Mountain Goats

[Verse 1]
I'm in the repair bay casting spells
Mystic in the glow of the spotlight
Ringing out the funeral bells
Tending the fires, gathering power
May I present the man of the hour

[Chorus]
Placing his faith in the strength of the safety visor
Placing his faith in the strength of the safety visor
Leaving only slightly diminished
Older but wiser

[Verse 2]
I'm down on the concrete with a bucket and rag
When you've got a big job to do
You notice how the moments drag
Live in the present, savor the grind
Relish the time before you have to leave it behind

[Chorus]
Placing your faith in the strength of the safety visor
Placing your faith in the strength of the safety visor
Leaving only slightly diminished
Older but wiser
