"Ox Baker Triumphant" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"Ox Baker Triumphant"

I will rise from the swamp where they dumped my private plane
I'll be clutching the life preserver in my teeth
And I will find the highway
And I will flag down a truck
Worry lines on my forehead, blank stare underneath

[Chorus 1:]
And when I come back to town
I'm gonna cast my burden down
A little worse for wear
Practically walking on air

I will thank my ride and crawl my way back inside
To the guts of the building where my enemies
Hide in the dark like roaches
And I will signal the camera crew and everyone will do
What he's been trained how to do
Sweat dripping from my face as my moment approaches

[Chorus 2:]
Click your heels, count to three
I bet you never expected me
A little worse for wear
Practically walking on air
