Testo: Mountain Goats, The. Going To Bristol.

i looked you up and down

i liked everything i saw

from the fragile outline of your hips

to the trembling movements in your jaw

but when the coffee cup shattered on the kitchen floor

you said that you couldn't take it anymore

i knew you were leaving

i knew you were going to bristol



going to bristol (4x)



i watched you pack your bags

saw you head up to the door

but when the key broke off in the deadbolt lock

said that you couldn't take it anymore

that was the second time you said that in one day

why don't you just sit still

it's going to be okay

going to bristol (4x)
