Cover art for Papagallo lyrics by Mountain Goats, The

"There was a minute when I thought I knew what you were about, and then you opened up your eyes and the lord came out"

That is one of the most arresting lines I've ever heard. I guess this song is about being completely captivated by the strangeness in someone, even if you don't understand it.
