Текст песни Bell Swamp Connection (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3) - The Mountain Goats




Toward the tail end of the age that′s almost finished
Where the highway starts to crack and nobody fixes it
I was wandering through an undeveloped tract
Out by the ocean
One hundred acres, we will build to suit
See what there is to see before it's gone
Somebody′s always just about to put some sort of awful plan in motion
Eastern red cedars
And the pines
Suddenly an elevated stone slab
In what must have been a clearing once
Try to recognize the signals and the signposts
But my curiosity
Will likely always get the best of me
It's like that one thing
My dad kept trying to tell me
As the twilight
Inched its way on up his body
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Of course, I climbed atop the slab and I lay down on it
I am a child
Had my face toward the sky
Lying there with both my eyes closed
Woke up after sundown
What the hell is wrong with me?
Volunteer pines in their hundreds in the dusk
Like military tent poles
Let my eyes adjust
Try to read the markings on the slab
Weird alphabets I felt sure I hadn't seen
Just before I passed out
Stars growing brighter
And me looking up
Like a lobster in a cage
Beneath the bottom of a glass boat...
And I heard a voice
Somewhere out beyond the free fall
Like a captive soldier
Just trying to warn his brothers
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
