Michael Myers Resplendent Lyrics

Michael Myers Resplendent - The Mountain Goats

Written by:John Darnielle

I am ready for my close up today

 

Too long I've let my self respect stand in my way

 

Well the prom queen's caught in the high beams

 

And the strings keen it's a big scene

 

But when the house goes up in flames

 

No one emerges triumphantly from it

When the scum begins to circle the drain

 

Everybody loves a winner

 

I spent eight hours in my makeup chair

 

Waxed my chest and shaved off all my hair

 

Well the fire's

 

Bright and the frame's tight

 

Try to get

 

Right while we've still got light

But when the house goes up in flames

 

No one emerges triumphantly from it

When the scum begins to circle the drain

 

Everybody loves a winner

 

When the house goes up in flames

 

 

When the scum begins to circle the drain
