The Mountain Goats
"World Cylinder"


dont like going to the doctor.
i don't like looking at the mirror.
i like looking out the window,
watching the waves break.
do i have to hit you over the head with it?
do i have to hit you over the head with it?

tired of talking to the suckers,
i'm tired of talking to the wealthy.
i want to talk to men and women
who haven't got anything left.
do i have to hit you over the head with it?
do i have to hit you over the head with it?

carry me down to the water
where i used to play when i was five.
let me go, let me go down to the water.
don't bring me back alive.
