Modest Mouse Lyrics
"Walking And Running"

We got rooked to believe
We had more tricks up our sleeves
As the king of the mountain when it blows sky high
You just don't get to see
We get tossed, we get turned
While the ants intercept underground with the worms
We sweat out, evaporation occurs
The rain from the clouds really stirs up the dirt

With our talkin', talkin', chatter, chatter, lips, throat, smile
We make such a noise, the Blue Angels are proud

Well, we're walking and running and we are moving around
Well, we're so very active, we make beehives proud

There are some thoughts that should never
Form to words inside our throats, our throats, oh
Oh
There are some thoughts that should never
Form to words inside our throats, our throats, oh
Oh
