Modest Mouse - Doin' the Cockroach

{Instrumental Intro}

{Verse 1}
I was in heaven
I was in hell
Believe in neither
But fear them as well
This one's a doctor
This one’s a lawyer
This one's a cash thief
Taking your money
Back in the Metro
Ride on a Greyhound
Drunk on the Amtrack
Please shut up!
Another rider
He was a talker
Talking about TV
Please shut up!
This one's a crazer
Daydreaming disaster
The origin of junk food
Rutting through garbage
Tasty but worthless
Dogs eat their own shit
We’re doing the cockroach, yeah

{Chorus}
Doin' the cockroach, yeah
Doin' the cockroach, yeah
Yeah
All right, not bad

Doin' the cockroach, yeah
Doin' the cockroach, yeah
Yeah
All right, not bad
Not bad, no

{Verse 2}
One year
Twenty years
Forty years
Fifty years
Down the road in your life
You'll look in the mirror and say
"My parents are still alive!"

{Verse 3}
You move your mouth
You shake your tongue
You vibrate my eardrums
You're saying words
But you know I ain't listening

{Verse 4}
You’re walking down the street
Your face
Your lips
Your hips
Your eyes
They meet
You’re not hungry though

{Bridge}
Well, late last winter
Down below the equator
They had a summer that would make you blister
Oh, my mind is all made up
So I'll have to sleep in it

{Outro}
Oh, my mind is all
Oh, my mind is all
Oh, my mind is all made up
So I’ll have to sleep in it
