The Decemberists - I Don't Mind Lyrics

Send "I Don't Mind" ringtones to your cell

Truly with his thorns in your side and 
you don't know why. 
Julie dips her toe in the tide and 
she don't know why 
No she don't know why she got all dolled-up for a suicide 
And when the stage lights dimmed on the fading scrim 
it was morning before the cheering died 
Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind? 

King George in imperial robe and a lazy eye 
kneels down as this semafore broke on his tawdsy bride. 
But we don't know why he got all stressed out 
on the motherland 
With his t.v. sets and his fighter jets 
and the royal ubiquitous handycam. 
Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind? 

There's you with your mom on your back 
going into the woods. 
She's so glad that you're staying on track like a good son should 
But you don't know why you got all worked up when you said goodbbye 
And you can hear her still when the nights are still 
crying out for calomine, 
Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind
