Ansel Songtext

von Modest Mouse

I took the train down to New Mexico
With my father and brother, Ansel

You can't know, well, you can't ever really know
Would you really want to know?
How the hell would you know?

I made a mess of myself and the trip on the whole
My father's good patience with me; why? I don't know
You can't know, you can't ever really know
That's the last time I seen my brother, Ansel

Troubles on the head winds
Troubles on the tail winds
Troubles on the head winds
Troubles on the tail winds

Me and my sister we hung on the phone
Watching the news as they looked for Ansel
On top of that mountain, underneath the snow
They had dogs that were sniffing, I guess you'll never know

You can't know, well, you can't ever really know
Would you really want to know?
How the hell would you know?
You can't know, well, you can't ever really know
Would you really want to know?
How the hell would you know?

The last time that you ever see another soul
No, you never get to know
No, you don't know
