Modest Mouse - The World At Large Lyrics

Complimentary "The World At Large" Ringtone

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 
I'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 days 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 off onto another spot 
I still haven't gotten 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 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
