Dustin Hoffman Quits Bathroom and Climbs a Tree Lyrics
All aboard
Last train leaving for Tennessee, Ohio
I burnt my tongue
It fucked me up for days
Her roommate said
She hadn’t seen her for some time
She told me something
Then asked me for advice
No, I couldn’t point her in any direction
Shoulders roll with the dunes
I found a way of life where no one matters
Now it flows from my mouth
Like a stroke down memory lane
Yes, sir
My ears perk up
When they mention my name
My fingers move
In my pockets for fun
Oh, I ain't getting married
Without a bottle in both hands
And a ring that shows allegiance
To anything but what we have
Shoulders roll with the dunes
I found a way of life where no one matters
Now it flows from my mouth
Like a stroke down memory lane
You got to love someone, got to love someone
Last train leaving for Tennessee, Ohio
It fucked me up for days
Her roommate said
She hadn’t seen her for some time
Then asked me for advice
No, I couldn’t point her in any direction
I found a way of life where no one matters
Now it flows from my mouth
Like a stroke down memory lane
When they mention my name
My fingers move
In my pockets for fun
Without a bottle in both hands
And a ring that shows allegiance
To anything but what we have
I found a way of life where no one matters
Now it flows from my mouth
Like a stroke down memory lane

This is my favorite song on the CD.
It sounds slightly country. I think it's a pessimistic song about having had your girlfriend leave you because you said some things you shouldn't have. "I burnt my tongue, it fucked me up for days."
what a great, great album.
my favorite of Montreal album.
I think it's about being able to talk about a difficult time in one's personal history without getting caught up in the emotions of the memory. "Now it flows from my mouth/Like a stroll down memory lane." What was once an emotionally charged topic can now be recited in a detached manner.
I love the intro to this song but it's definitely not tennessee, ohio
