"The Autopsy Garland" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"The Autopsy Garland"
(John Darnielle)

One clear shot or else he gets away
Red sun high in the sky tonight
Look west from London, down toward Hollywood
Remember the first days in California

You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on

Fat rich men love their twelve-year-olds
Deco cufflinks and cognac by the glass
Look west from London, toward the Emerald City
Remember Minnesota

You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on, or their gloves

Sweet spearmint and bitter tangerine
Bedside decked with roses
Look west, look west, look west, and look away
From old, familiar faces

You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
You don't wanna see these guys without their masks on
