Mountain Goats, The - Collapsing Stars Lyrics
When we hid out behind the risers at the high school
Working bitter calculations with a slide rule
The grim particulars of poisoning the swimming pool
Well, you looked me in the eye
Ready to die
We were becoming what we are
Collapsing stars
When we chewed up pseudoephedrine like bubblegum
'Til our hearts were beating as deep and rich as kettle drums
We knew if we waited long enough the change would come
And then the day did come, and at last
Hold tight
Hold fast
Collapsing stars
I told you to load up on provisions
'Cause we wouldn't be back for a while
Load up your troubles in your old kit bag
Turn toward the camera and smile, smile, smile
When we ditched the plan to poison all our enemies
Tucked our weapons in a clearing, and covered them with leaves
We are gonna come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
One day
And we are on our way
You can look
But you won't find
Another love like ours
Collapsing stars

Love that potato quality
Is this on a goats album? Every time I think I've heard it all, I find something else. This is incredible.
Olly Roberts think it was originally a b side or bonus or smth on come come
Awesome song!
is this considered like a waltz kinda? I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to music styles. if anyone knows thatd be great.
How is it possible that I've been listening to JD's stuff for years and only now learn about this amazing song?
why comic sans?
It isn't
it’s not
this song gets me
i love it
mothby you want to commit murder suicide?
I wonder why this song isn't more popular
something something darkest timeline
Which is pretty much stealing
fuck you, ham scrap.
No, the hectic glow will defiantly do some too.
If the Mountain Goats don't sing every song in the TFiOS movie, I swear....
Em Po this song is about murder suicide
In what movie?
TheAlbinoDude The Fault in Our Stars, i believe; john green is a huge mountain goats fan
Witness the Absurd brought me here.
In the beginning he kind of sounds like evil Charlie (McDonnell).
Thumbs up if you're here because of John Green! DFTBA! :)
@Softmachine505 use slsk.
now i gotta pray this is available on i-tunes-- jeeze, this is phenomenal.

Amazing singing and guitar playing with interesting thought provoking lyrics.

I believe that this one is on the Dilaudid EP?

wow u heck, 5 years later. i wonder where this person is now
7 years now
8 years now
beautiful, almost poetic, but in a much better way. <3
a beautifully sad song.
i love this band
This sounds like the tango number in a musical. As such, I love it.
