Mountain Goats, The - Palmcorder Yajna Lyrics
Holt Boulevard, between Gary and White
Hooked up with some friends at the Travelodge, set ourselves up for the night
Carpenter ants in the dresser, flies in the screen
It will be too late by the time we learn what these cryptic symbols mean
Haunted by all you tweakers with your hands out
And the headstones climbed up the hills
And the headstones climbed up the hills
Send somebody out for soda, comb through the carpet for clues
Reflective tape on our sweatpants, big holes in our shoes
Every couple minutes someone says he can't stand it any more
Laugh lines on our faces, scale maps of the ocean floor
And I dreamt of a camera
And the aperture yawning and blinking
And the headstones climbed up the hills
If anybody comes to see me
Tell 'em they just missed me by a minute
If anybody comes into our room while we're asleep
I hope they incinerate everybody in it
And I dreamt of a factory
Where they manufactured what I needed
Using shiny new machines
And the headstones climbed up the hills

Mountain Goats, The Palmcorder Yajna Comments
It's been 35 years since I last did meth. Every time I hear this I can taste it, I feel greasy and my teeth start to rot, the ones that are left anyway. Great song though.
As someone who has battled addiction a while especially crank (meth) this song means so much to me. I remember John said once in a interview he was addicted to meth real bad at one point. Also anyone else get a severe Breaking Bad feel listening to this? Like I listen to this and picture Gustavo Fring walking out of the hospital room with his face all screwed.
Ah yes, the mountain goats, what a great song written by that wondrous band Palmcorder Yajna
There's a man who lives in my apartment complex. I talk to him sometimes, and he tells me stories of when he was young in Seattle. He was a crackhead, along with his crackwhore girlfriend and their crack-buddies running around the city every day trying to steal and sucker enough cash to get some of the only thing they cared about. He told me with a tear in his eye that he's the only one still left alive from those times, and every day for him is pain.
I've met some similar folks here in Portland. Life is a wild, indifferent beast.
I'm that man, only 25 and all my friends are dead or in jail.
Can never find any other songs by this band, I tried searching for "Palmcorder Yanja" like everywhere.
he's lying to you, keep searching buddy, never stop
Never stop searching...
so what happened?
....that's the joke
Found any more yet?
Your title is backwards.
What a gorgeous song..
i concur.
fucking speed
fucking tweakers
Someone make a Breaking Bad music video of this please
Lil B is my friend Oct. 2013.. Also this is my fav mountain goats song
I always imagined it'd be spelled Holdt Boulevard
2:26. That is all.
So how was the concert?
Slow west vultures would be brilliant too, but lets face it the subject matter of this entire album is perfect for breaking bad.
TASK FORCE IN REPORTING FOR DUTY!
guys, the inland empire sucks, don't live here
Every time I listen to this song on youtube I can't stop laughing at this comment it is so painful
too bad NMH would insist on headlining... Darnielle destroys Mangum lyrically ;)
Mountain goats and Neutral Milk Hotel need to tour together.
THANK YOU BASED GOATS
THANK YOU DARNIELLE GOD. YOU CAN FUCK MY BITCH DARNIELLE GOD. SWAG ON A HUNDRED THOU, SWAG TO THE MAXIMUM DARNIELLE GOD.
hallmark has caught bieber fever! thanks for the update youtube!
The second stanza, "And I dreamt of a house haunted by all you tweakers with your hands out." Perfect! Haha
The Mountain Goats should do a song with Lil B.
Going to see the Mountain goats this friday! Can't wait!
Methamphetamine song awesomeness. John Darnielle is the best,
I just bought this on Vinyl. It sounds great.
