the king of the jungle
was asleep in his car.
when your chances fall in your lap like that,
you gotta recognize them for what they really are.
nobody in this house wants to own up to the truth.
I crawl in shotgun and reach into his mouth
and grab hold of one long, sharp tooth
and hold on.
for dear life, I hold on.
well of course he wakes up.
his paw hits the horn.
I am going to regret
the day that I was born.
and then mom
rushes out to the driveway
my sister too
everyone screaming,
I am dreaming of you.
I hold on.
for dear life, I hold on.
and my arms get sore.
and my palms start to sweat.
and the tears roll down my face,
till my cheeks are hot and red and soaking wet.
in come the cops
they blow torch the doors.
I start wailing.
the lion roars.
there's no good way to end this.
anyone can see
there's this great big you,
and little old me.
and we hold on.
for dear life, we hold on.
we hold on
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".
