Down in the lab
With the hopeful few
Hell bent on doing
The work that you cowards won't do
Weaving the future
From bright new threads
Prices on their heads
Someday the abomination
Is going to finally make land
We stay silent as a snowdrift
Focused on the task at hand
Dream of the day
When the calm waters break
And something rises from the lake
Someday, all of you people will know
The safe way isn't the only way to go
Movement in the grid
As fish leap in the air
It's only a test run
And still the tension's too delicious to bear
All around the monitor station
Big smiles, high fives
According to my projections
Everybody's going to run for their lives
Still we wait until our time has come
Down here where the engines hum
Exiled priests of Rome
Bringing our troubles back home
Someday, all of you people will know
The safe way isn't the only way to go
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".
