"Maize Stalk Drinking Blood," by the Mountain Goats

Off of the 1997 tape, "Full Force Galesburg."

Let me know if you have any requests.

lying in the hot sun today

watching the clouds run away

thought a little while about you

the sky was a petrifying blue

and while the geese flew past

for no reason at all

i let the sky fall

this is an empty country, and i am the king

and i should not be allowed to touch anything

i picked myself up off the ground

shook the grass from my hair and i

walked around

felt the warm sun in my eye

strangers were passing by

i shinnied up the black walnut tree

let the hard blue sky fall right through me

and i saw the sad young cardinals, trying to sing

and i should not be allowed to touch anything
