Karaoké No Children The Mountain Goats

I hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us

I hope we come up with a failsafe plot to piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended fall down beneath their own weight

And I hope we hang on past the last exit

I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here someday burns down

And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away and I never come back to this town again

In my life

I hope I lie and tell everyone you were a good wife

And I hope you die

I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow

I hope it bleeds all day long

Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises

We're pretty sure they're all wrong

I hope it stays dark forever

I hope the worst isn't over

And I hope you blink before I do

I hope I never get sober

And I hope when you think of me years down the line you can't find one good thing to say

And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out you'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning

There is no sign of land

You are coming down with me

Hand in unlovable hand

And I hope you die

I hope we both die
