Barnacles Songtext

von Modest Mouse

I don't really need to see
So i don't need to see so i'll paint
I don't know, i'll paint it black
I don't need to see
I don't see how you see out of your window
I don't need to see, i'll paint mine black
I don't know me and you don't know you
So we fit so good together
Cos i knew you like i knew myself
We clung on like barnacles on a boat
Even though the ship sinks you know you can't let go
I was talking like two hands knocking
Yelling 'let me in, let me in, please come out.'
Black glass, dirt-based soap,
Tell yourself what you know.
My friends, oh my friends,
Bury your head i'll help you bury your plans.
Hard hit, hard to miss, problems are what a problem is.
My light came up quick, call it your asterisk,
Buried like boys in a boys first book of the stars
Saw it as satellite
Constant unblinking as
Buried in the bottom of a bottom of a brackish lake
