Golden Jackal Song Songtext

von The Mountain Goats

Well, I swung through town
Shining like a new quarter
Felt something sharp rise up within me
When I crossed the border
Stopped at the gas station payphone
I let my fingers fly
The wicked impulses were dying
But I couldn't let them die
We were over at your place
Singin' about the old times
I ate so much (carrion)?
That I could not move
I was bloated

When I saw you in the kitchen
Glistening like the old country
All your cups and glasses
Lined up in front of me
I stopped at the faucet for a minute
Waited 'til you came in to see what was wrong
Your fingers brushed my ribs playfully
And I played along
You had your tongue in my mouth
Your eyes glistening in the light
I ate rich raw (carrion)?
'Til I could not think
I was full
