Modest Mouse - History Sticks To Your Feet

No One's First, And You're Next
Track 6

At the movies, eyes iced over
Walking sideways, through the gutters
And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet like history
Don't you look at me like life don't hold you any mystery
Bag of splinters boiling over, on your back expose your belly
Optimism doesn't change the facts, just what you're gonna see

Like it was stated that we're walking salt and coal
Plants solidify sunshine; how this started, I don't know
Causing feet and entire chain shoe stores
The sun's diary pulled up from deep canary holes
And when we read it, our skin, it becomes warm

At the movies, eyes iced over
Walking sideways, through the gutters
And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet, your history
I'm gonna slap that look off your face like life don't hold you no mystery
All those red marks on our shoulders
Self back patting, homemade trophies
Well the past only exists as tiny bricks we burn to release all its memories
I've had enough with rolling boulders, I want more moss on me

Clocks to splinters but time goes forward
And when them tree drop leaves your feet collect their memories
I guess all us snakes find our tails pretty damn tasty!!

I heard you mention we're walking salt and coal
Plants solidify sunshine; how this started, I don't know
Causing feet and entire chain shoe stores
The sun's diary pulled up from deep canary holes
And when we read it, our skin, it becomes warm

At the movies, eyes iced over
Walking sideways, through the gutters
And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet, your history
I'm gonna knock that look off your face like life don't hold you no mystery.

[fuzzybunny666999]

Cuz this actually sound like em

[m3rkinmidget]

i gues technically that is two reasons haha

[m3rkinmidget]

one reason they are a great band is quality and quantity. they have a great sound and they just keep coming out with more stuff. they are gonna fade away rather than burn out.

This and Whale Song are some of my favorite Modest Mouse songs, even compared to their immortal songs off their old albums.

@MMcKenna157 Not over 10,000 On this particular video, but from the amount that are taken down and blocked in various countries, plus the top results for this song in the search add up, usually when people rip the album and put it on youtube like this one, they don't get as many views as (official video/official channel release) ones do.

@loper5ricemeal Tuff? Sounds like someones read The Outsiders.

[MMcKenna157]

Its sad how this is one of the best songs on this cd, and it hasnt had over a million views.... not even over 10,000 is absolutely crazy!

[TheFrankiebaby3]
