Modest Mouse - Tiny Cities Made of Ashes [Digital Bonus]

Copied!

We're goin' down the road
Towards tiny cities made of ashes
I'm gonna hit you on the face
I'm gonna punch you in your glasses, oh no
I just got a message that said
"Yeah Hell has frozen over"
I got a phone call from the Lord sayin'
"Hey boy, get a sweater, right now"
So we're drinkin', drinkin', drinkin'
Drinkin' Coca, Coca-Cola
I can feel it rollin' right on down
Oh, right on down my throat
And as we're headed down the road
Towards tiny cities made of ashes
I'm gonna get dressed up in plastic
Gonna shake hands with the masses, oh no
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?
We're going down the road
Towards tiny cities made of ashes
I'm going to hit you on the face
I'm going to punch you in your glasses
I'm wearin' myself a T-shirt that says
"The world is my ashtray"
Our hearts pump dust and our hair's all gray
And I just got a message that says
"Yeah, Hell has frozen over"
I got a phone call from the Lord sayin'
"Hey boy, get a sweater, right now"
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?
Does anybody know a way?
We're drinkin', drinkin', drinkin'
Drinkin' Coca, Coca-Cola
I can feel it rollin' right on down
Oh, right on down my throat
And as we're headed down the road
Towards tiny cities made of ashes
I'm gonna lay down in the baths
Where they coat you in molasses, right now
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?
Does anybody know a way that a body could get away?
Does anybody know a way?

edit bio

Modest Mouse is an American indie rock band formed in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington, by singer/lyricist/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green and bassist Eric Judy. The band’s lineup has dramatically changed over the years, and the only original members still in the band to date are Brock and Green. For a lineup timeline, see here.

Modest Mouse released their debut album This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About in April 1996 and have released six studio albums to date. They gained mainstream recognition with their April 2004 effort Good News for People Who Love Bad News and it is their commercially best-selling album, being certified Platinum by the RIAA.

Modest Mouse’s name s derived from a passage from the Virginia Woolf story “The Mark on the Wall” which reads:

I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises.
