When a Powerful Animal Comes The Mountain Goats

[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
We move by night
Cover our tracks well and we pack light
Follow the shoreline 'til we've run clean out of land
Speak in gestures only we can understand

[Chorus]
We've made mistakes
Everyone spots their own mess when the dawn breaks

[Verse 2]
We get so exhausted
Lost kids, just wasted
Sleep in short shifts and then rise up to our feet
Life is short, and life is hard, and life is sweet

[Chorus]
The treeline shakes
We roll hard along some long odds when the dawn breaks

[Bridge]
See soft peaks off in the distance
Those people in the mountains
They will never know what hit them
