I am NOT The Mountain Goats, nor do I take ANY credit for these songs, they are property of John Darnielle and 4AD Records.

Lyrics:

I hear them squeal

I see them preen

Fans all spread out

Neat and clean

Grab hold of the morning

Head out to the porch

Feel the wind stopping

Feel the sun scorch

I fear for my safety

You can see it in my eyes

In an hour or two

We will rise

Then a sharp breeze kicks up

I hug myself hard

How come there's peacocks in the front yard?

Sun's all prickly

On my neck

When the helicopter passes

We both hit the deck

Hands grasping and groping

Seizing opportunity

Right where it lies

The sky will fall

We will rise

I think he is making a reference to peacocks being birds of paradise.

This must be a Flannery O'Connor reference, right? She famously raised peacocks on her farm, Andalusia. And the line "We will rise" may reference her short story "Everything That Rises Must Converge." A lot of this album plays with mythical elements of Southern living (see "Southwood Plantation Road" where the dead rise from their plantation graves and go to Sunday service). I always get in the same mood listening to this album and reading Flannery O'Connor. Must not be a coincidence!
