Up the Wolves

Up the Wolves - The Mountain Goats

There's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet

No matter where you live

There'll always be a few things maybe several things

That you're going to find really difficult to forgive

There's going to come a day when you feel better

You'll rise up free and easy on that day

And float from branch to branch lighter than the air

Just when that day is coming who can say who can say

Our mother has been absent

Ever since we founded rome

But there's going to be a party

When the wolf comes home

We're going to commandeer the local airwaves

To tell the neighbors what's been going on

And they will shake their heads and wag their bony fingers

In all the wrong directions and by daybreak we'll be gone

I'm going to get myself in fighting trim

Scope out every angle of unfair advantage

I'm going to bribe the officials i'm going to kill all the judges

It's going to take you people years to recover from all of the damage

Our mother has been absent

Ever since we founded rome

But there's going to be a party

When the wolf comes home
