THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"Thanks For The Dress"

[Intro: rapid succession of spoken samples]
He'll still be like...
...so good. She has...
...needing us...
...tell you about personal testimony
Please keep feeding us

The young sun
The old story forming
Hasn't been the same
Since dad came by this morning

[Refrain 1:]
Did you see the way mom's looking at us
Mark it well

Your eyes meet mine
When we hear her call
The strange birds in the yard
A portrait of the symbols that she painted on the garden wall

[Refrain 2:]
Did you see the way mom's looking at us
Did you see the way mom's looking at us
Don't say anything
