Karaoké 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 gonna find really difficult to forgive

There's gonna come a day when you'll 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 comin' who can say

Who can say

Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home

We're gonna comandeer the local airwaves to tell the neighbors what's been goin' 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 gonna get myself in fightin' trim

Scope out every angle of unfair advantage

I'm gonna bribe the officals

I'm gonna kill all the judges

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

Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home

Oh
