Modest Mouse – Satellite Skin Lyrics | 15 years ago |
From what I've listened to on the Myspace stream, this is what I'm getting. The ending is fuzzy. Could use some help: If you break these moth wing feelings Powdering dust on your fingers We know we're not praying we're kneeling Hard enough just to say you believe them Well how the heck did you think you could beat them At the same time that you're trying to be them Hard enough just to say you don't need it when they Took it up while you were still eating Well satellite, satellite skin Just enough just to say you don't mean it Well, when everybody's willing to listen Oh satellite, satellite skin You can say what you want you're forgiven Well happy fucking congratulations Well everyone, everyone wins Just like being in my own solar system Doing good things but then totally eclipse them Oh what the use, oh what the hell If you break these moth wing feelings Butterfly knives in the ceiling Well everyone, everyone's waiting Detachments get praised and completed You can say what you want and not mean it When no one really seems to be waiting If you sweep up this mess I've created Nothing's left to show I existed Except satellite, satellite skin Asking for a question Was it easier said than was actually done Do you even believe that Do you even believe that there's a race to be won If you break these moth wing feelings I have seen it all because satellite skin All those lonesome[?] eyes A knack to know those [?] opinions get stacked in All those usual wooden[?] spots Just to tell you I could not have seen Through to the gist of those unhappy Happy accidents |
