I think it's "It began in our apartment, took it out to the car" Which also happens to make a ton more sense. |

and the VERY last line is "a miner's grave" not "nine-inch." according to MATNSAS, themselves. |

They put up their lyrics on their website now, and that last line is actually: "And we'll escape BIBLICAL fate." So I think that whole Romeo and Juliet, dying thing is actually a little off. The crazy verse at the end of "Mariel's Brazen Overture" I think, is signifying a war, and in the song I think its actually revealed to be some sort of apocalypse-event (biblical fate, what else could it mean?) so the two mice can live as the only inhabitants of a ruined earth together, as long as they hide out in the mine shafts. |

Well now that they're streaming the new album from their website, you can hear that some of these lyrics have changed. In the second verse, it's "Put on your headphones before you explode, oh oh oh Wilco, Wilco, Wilco will love you." Although I kind of wish they left the nod to Colbert... |

| I love this song as a conclusion of Mariel's Brazen Overture. I think the last verse really sums up Martin and Mariel's resolution by the end of the saga. Keeping in mind that Martin and Mariel are mice, a nine inch grave would be the equivalent of the standard 6 foot grave for humans. I think Martin proposes that they commit suicide together because if they die now, they can die in love, and escape the "bombs and floods" that their relationship would be subject to if they tried to keep living. They can "escape their nickel fate" (which would be a cheap and cliched break-up) if they nobly die together and find solace in death. | |
