Lyrics Barrel Jumping (A Man of Letters) - Astronautalis
(Well
Sometimes
I
think
that
you
Meet
someone
You
Give
and
you
give
And
you
give
until
there's
nothing
left
No
matter
what
It's
never
Ever
going
to
be
good
enough
for
them)
Drove
up
to
the
river
with
the
barrel
in
the
back
of
the
trunk,
The
grilled
cheese
that
Karen?
hung
out
in
front.
Mr.
Merle
and
Johnny
Cash
swear
I'm
leaving
at
once,
Punched
the
gas
the
leaves
all
laugh,
The
wind
wheezes
and
coughs.
The
water
wash
sprays
off,
pinpricked
my
lips.
Wet
wood
framed
moonlight,
barely
barrel
of
slits.
Came
too
far
to
watch
it
drift
off
now
I
can,
Let
my
ship
slide
along
right
off
that
cliff,
Right
off
the
cliff,
Right
off
the
cliff.
Could
have
set
you
to
rest,
I
could
have
told
you
that
I
loved
you
to
death.
Make
a
million
memories,
you
talk
in
wasted
breath.
Wave
my
hat
and
beat
my
chest
while
listening
'til
it
hits,
You
love
the
mess,
I'll
give
you
one
that
you
never
forget.
A
man
of
letters
knows
the
best
of
broken
needs
and
frayed
respects,
The
promise
catch
a
cloud
of
breath
and
foggy?
inuit/inward?
scent
Hands
that
get
and
hands
that
beg
and
hands
that
always
forget,
Count
on
tips
but
never
ever
can
you
count
on
the
catch.
Count
on
the
catch,
Count
on
the
catch.
My
little
ship
drifts
with
the
leaves
and
water
spraying
across
the
lips,
Mr.
Moon's
good
work
blue
earthmen
kissed,
Two
ships
soft
hiss
in
the
sparkling
mist,
That
old
lift
in
your
falling
chest
just
before
the
hit.
I
never
thought
it'd
come
to
this
my
parents
never
taught
me
to
drift,
Something
I
learned
watching
bridges
burn
down
to
sticks,
There's
nothing
left
but
a
mess
of
splinters
flailing
limbs,
The
water
sounds
just
like
the
record's
end.
Just
like
the
record's
end.
Just
like
the
record's
end.
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
parade
no
big
cheques.
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
parade
no
big
cheques.
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
parade
no
big
cheques.
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
parade
no
big
cheques.
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
parade
no
big
cheques.
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
parade
no
big
cheques.
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no
big
mess,
There's
no
big
bang
there's
no...
