MODEST MOUSE
"Speak 'N Spell (Or Not)"

Skipped the line to jump ahead
But we're all getting on the very same jet
When we leave the tarmac, and we get where we get
Our baggage comes out random
It's not an insult, it's just the truth
But the rest of us have to live outside of you
I don't have to get you, but you sure as hell do
It's not the part that can come after

Life's just fucking awesome and I know that it is
I know of this because I'm living it
Western movies always end the way they begin
Where somebody gets ended
I can speak, but I cannot spell well
I know myself, but not very well, so
I make a note to read to fall asleep
I choose the news, and then I can't sleep after

[Chorus:]
I guess this is as far as we go
I guess this is as far as we go

[Instrumental break]

I wish we'd read a few chapters ahead
We probably could've avoided this
But that's not the way it shook out, and we get what we get
A trifling disaster
Skipped the line to jump ahead
But we're all getting on the same aeroplane
When we leave the sky and come back again
Our baggage doesn't land there

[Chorus:]
I guess this is as far as we go
Yes, this is as far as we go
Yes, this is as far as we go
Yes, this is as far as we go
