Текст песни Until Olympius Returns (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 4) - The Mountain Goats
Go through the motions
Every day out in the square
Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air
Nod in agreement when the tyrant holds forth
Look for a beacon from the North
Protect yourself
Vouch for every member of the team
This is just a momentary ripple in the stream
Join in the rebuilding
Sing loudly at your labor
Make friends with the new guys
Be nice to your neighbor
Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state
Taste everything they feed you
Say it tastes real great
Spit it down your sleeve
Every time you get the chance
This is just a brief improvisation in the dance
Raise up the columns
Take the statues down
Praise the columns
Spread the word around town
Behold the temple where the old one stood
Is it not a thing of beauty
Don′t it make you feel good?
Is it not a thing of splendor for the whole world to see?
Don't it make you feel important? Don′t it make you feel free?
We are gonna be right here
On the day it finally burns
Everybody hold a spot
Until Olympius returns
Yeah!
I messed up a lyric but honestly, it's never been played live, so that's what was gonna happen if were actually
Playing in front of a live audience anyway, so I stand by my-my, my lyrical mistake, I stand by it, uh
(We′re standing by that?)
We′re standing by it, I'm calling it right here, uhm, so-so uh, the deal with Olympius is like, they′re-they're-they′re tearing down all
These pagan monuments right so they're now building uh-uh, Christian stuff, right?
And-and pagans are being constricted to do this, right?
But their position is that like "When Olympius gets back, we′re gonna take all this stuff back down" we're-we're
They′re-they′re pretending to be company men, right, it's a-, I′m very into this story
So, uhm, what do I got next? Uhm, this called, "The young thousands"
