The Mountain Goats — Horseradish Road lyrics

Lyrics

The way that everybody’s voice
Comes out muffled when they speak
The way we take our diminishing inventories
Month to month and week to week
The Maria Callas record’s
On the stereo all the time
You’re gonna get yours
And I’m gonna get mine
'Cause in this car, in this car
Somebody’s bound to get burned
I know, I know
'Cause I’ve been watching the road turn
The enigma variations
On the radio
The things that I could guess at The things that I already know
And the twelve thousand dollars
That turned up in your purse
You’ve done something awful
I’ve done something worse
And in this car, in this car
Somebody’s bound to get burned
I know, I know
'Cause I’ve been watching the road turn
