I push things out through my mouth, I get refilled through my ears

Modest Mouse lyrics from The Lonesome Crowded West. Don't have much energy to post anything else right now. I was just rocking to this today.

"Heart Cooks Brain"

Slow walk
It's land mine
It's coal mine
It's a bad thought
On the way to god don't know
my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
I'm trying to get my head clear
i push things out through my mouth i get refilled through my ears
i'm on my way to god don't know or even care
my brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore
the ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward
inward and outward
in this place that i call home
my brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
my heart's the bitter buffalo
we tore one down, and erected another there
the match of the century: absence versus thin air
on the way to god don't know
my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
on this life that we call home
the years go fast and the days go so slow

Hey Andrew. It was so much fun to sing with you the other night. Thanks for letting us use your song, we love it. Did you like the new little part we did for the end?
