Testo: Mountain Goats, The. I Hear The Planets.

they'll come at you with all manner of astronomical sorcery.

they'll be pulling you back as you make your way up the highway.

you can tell 'em from me that they don't know anything about anything

they can just stand back with their amateur interpretations of scripture.



i hear the planets singing our names

and i see you making your way up the hillside

i can see the pacific from here

the waves are calm and the water's clear

i hear the planets singing our names.



when you're with me you'll see their smooth forms taking shape in the sky

and i will hold your hand and move my thumb around there in your palm

and the constellations will all display their bright colours up above and around us

and many are the plans in the human heart

for the purposes of yahweh they stand firm



i hear the planets singing our names

and i see you making your way up the hillside

i can see the pacific from here

the waves are calm and the water's clear

i hear the planets singing our names.
