The Shins-Caring is Creepy


I think i'll go home and mull this over
                       
before i cram it down my throat
                                    
at long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
                            
has broken up into bits in my moat.

                     
lift the mattress off the floor
       
walk the cramps off
                 
go meander in the cold
           
hail to your dark skin
         
hiding the fact you're dead again
                                         
underneath the powerliness seeking shade
 
far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason

                              
it's a luscious mix of words and tricks
                                      
that let us bet when you know we should fold
                            
on rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped
                                       
and of the whole mess of roads we're now on.

                        
hold your glass up, hold it in
                                        
never betray the way you've always known it is.
                       
one day i'll be wondering how
                           
I got so old just wondering how
                                      
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.


this is way beyond my remote concern 
of being condescending

                     
all these squawking birds won't quit.
                   
building no-thing, lay-ing bricks.

                    REPEAT 2x

                       
hold your glass up, hold it in
                                        
never betray the way you've always known it is.
