Lyrics Done bleeding The Mountain Goats

Done bleeding


Recite the songs that kept me whole
On the day I hand over command control
Try to let them all flow into this one

List alphabetically
The toxins the doctors found in me
During my time in prison

Count my fingers
Every last one
When I get done

Clean the floors well, sweep and swab
Do a thorough job
Leave the old place nicer than I found it

Wish well as the neighbors cheer and shout
Finally taking their earplugs out
Things were even worse here than they sounded

Grim-faced pilots
Back from the bombing run
When I get done
Take a picture or two
Just to remember the view
Leave a mark on the door
As an empty warning sign
From one who's gone before
But isn't here anymore

Let the crust form
On my skin in the sun
When I get done

Sweep the front porch make it new
Put the broom away when I get through
No passersby need know of my lonely tenure

All this riot of light
The shock of leaves
Wind rippling in my sleeves
Swirling against my skin as in a blender

Red thread drying behind me
Hand smoking
When I get done

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics DONE BLEEDING of THE MOUNTAIN GOATS is also present in the album In league with dragons (2019)

Biografia

The Mountain Goats are an American folk rock band formed in 1991 in Claremont, California, by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John Darnielle. The band's name comes from a Screamin' Jay Hawkins song titled "Big Yellow Coat". For much of its history, Darnielle has been the only stable member of The Mountain Goats, collaborating with a diverse group of musicians in the studio and on tour. These include bassist Peter Hughes, drummer Jon Wurster, singer-songwriter Franklin Bruno, bassist and vocalist Rachel Ware, singer-songwriter John Vanderslice, guitarist Kaki King, and Annie Clark (St. Vincent). The music of The Mountain Goats is characterized by introspective and poetic lyrics, often focusing on themes of love, loss, isolation, and spirituality. The melodies are simple but effective, with a strong emphasis on Darnielle's vocals, which possess a unique and recognizable timbre. Some of the band's most representative songs include "This Year", "No Children", "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" and "Up the Wolves".
