Up the Wolves (Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 2) The Mountain Goats

[Verse 1]
There's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet
No matter where you live
There'll always be a few things, maybe several things
That you're going to find really difficult to forgive
There's gonna come a day when you feel better
You will rise up free and easy on that day
And float from branch to branch
Lighter than the air
Just when that day is coming, who can say?
Well, who can say?

[Chorus]
Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome
But there's going to be a party whеn the wolf comes home

[Verse 2]
Wе're gonna commandeer the local airwaves
To tell the neighbors what's been going on
And they will shake their heads
They will wag their bony fingers
In all the wrong directions
But by daybreak we'll be gone
We will be gone

[Verse 3]
I'm going to get myself in fighting trim
Scope out every angle of unfair advantage
I'm gonna bribe the officials
I'm gonna kill all the judges
It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage
