Modest Mouse - The World At Large

The beautiful second track from "Good News For People Who Love Bad News"

All rights reserved to Modest Mouse.

Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
I move on to another day,
to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
You don't know where and you don't know when.
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder, work another way.

Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
Well float on maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
The days get longer and the nights smell green.
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn't know what I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

I know that starting over is not what life's about.
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud.
Also, if you listen closely, this song goes right into "Float On"

I just realized I uploaded this on 9/11

[Kinglol57]

@Guercinator is that bad thing? or just a random thing that randomly happened?

[Guercinator]

@Kinglol57 random thing that randomly happened...

[narutosukes8723]

@lakobraso09 I completely agree. Even more than this song I feel that way when I listen to their song "night on the sun". 

[breatheasy9er]

This band definitely helped me become me

[lakobraso09]

Modest Mouse just makes me stop and forget all the negative shit I go through. Make me think, ah everythings alright.

[jill9700]

That 9/11 business is correct, considering this song is so depressing I hardly ever listen to it. Weird.

[MrVerysexyperson]

@vonstuker4 no. It also has the word 'the' in it, maybey you could blog about that on your conspiracy page -.-

[DJscorpioMakings]

i wish my speakers could be turned up so loud that i just get lost in the song...

[Vonstuker4]

@DimHereafter not at all, just thought it was something worth mentioning.

[DimHereafter]

@Vonstuker4 It was actually uploaded nine years after the fall of the towers... and yes, it's very random that the title has the word "World" in it. What, is there some bizarre conspiracy involving Modest Mouse, 9/11, and the uploader of this song?

[TrooperTokeBassBlast]
