The Only Thing I Know Lyrics

when you came back from trenton,
all the sparkle was gone.
and you stood in the shadow
and the curtains were drawn

and i know you're lying.
and you know you're lying too.
that is just about the only thing i know about you.

when you pocketed your eyeshadow
and you picked up the phone,
stepped out on the balcony
and drank in the drone.

and i know you're leaving.
and you know you're leaving too.
that is just about the only thing i know about you.

when you stop on the sidewalk
and you looked up above you,
warm wet air came down to shelter me.
how much do i love you?

well you know you're dying.
and i know you're dying too.
that is just about the only thing i know about you.

Cover art for The Only Thing I Know lyrics by Mountain Goats, The

Definitely one of my favorites...I wonder why this one was never re-recorded. It's great.

Because JD doesn't re-record anything. I don't think I'd ever want to hear any Mountain Goat song re-recorded.
