Rockin' Rockin' Pet Store Songtext

von The Mountain Goats

One burning afternoon, under the waxing jurisdiction of the harvest moon
We took a right
We went far away
And I remember it as though it were yesterday at the pet store

The stereo played songs we both knew
And I reached my arm around to touch you
I felt the sun burning into me
And I knew we'd find a physic for my malady
At the pet store

Your hair caught the sunlight as you
Opened the door
And I'd never seen your hair looking quite that way before
I heard the parakeets punctuate the moment with their
Shrieks and cries
I saw the reptile cages reflected in your blue eyes
Their green bodies conspiring therein
To form a separate universe where it was no sin
To want what I wanted right the and there
At the pet store
