Modest Mouse World At Large Lyrics

Ice-age heat wave,
can't complain.
If the world's at large,
why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place,
maybe one I can stand.
I move on to another day,
to a whole new town
with a whole new way.
Went to the porch
to have a thought.
Got to the door and again,
I couldn't stop.
You don't know where
and you don't know when.
But you still got your words
and you got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder,
work another way.

Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
We'll float on
maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on
maybe would you understand?
Well I'll float on
maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter
and the nights get cold.
I like the autumn
but this place is getting old.
I pack up my belongings
and I head for the coast.
It might not be a lot
but I feel like I'm making the most.
The day's get longer
and the nights smell green.
I guess it's not surprising
but it's spring and I should leave.

I like songs about drifters
books about the same.
They both seem to make me
feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.
Did I want - love?
Did I need - to know?
Why does it always feel
like I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death
against the lights.
Adding their breeze
to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn't know what
I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did,
but you didn't understand.

I know that starting over
is not what life's all about.
But my thoughts were so loud,
I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud,
I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud.
