Song lyrics
I think I'll go home and mull this over 
Before I cram it down my throat 
At long last it's crashed, its colossal mass 
Has broken up into bits in my moat 

Lift the mattress off the floor 
Walk the cramps off 
Go meander in the cold 
Hail to your dark skin 
Hiding the fact you're dead again 
Underneath the powerlines seeking shade 
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason 

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks 
That let us bet when you know we should fold 
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped 
And of the whole mess of roads we're now on 

Hold your glass up, hold it in 
Never betray the way you've always known it is 
One day I'll be wondering how 
I got so old just wondering how 
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow 

This is way beyond my remote concern 
Of being condescending 

All these squawking birds won't quit 
Building nothing, laying bricks 

Hold you glass up, hold it in 
Never betray the way you've always known it is 
One day I'll be wondering how 
I got so old just wondering how 
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow 

This is way beyond my remote concern 
Of being condescending 

All these squawking birds won't quit 
Building nothing, laying bricks

i first heard about the shins in the garden state movie and what can i say... great band! they're totally great. i don't know for sure if their cd's worth the money but i've heard a few songs from them and they sound really awesome.

love this song

i heard about them before the movie; just saw the CD and thought it would be interesting and bought it.
both of them are awesome, depending on ur music taste ofcourse.
another advice: listen to it more than 3 times then judge it !!!

i could listen to this song forever and never get sick of it. my favorite part is that, even though i looked up the lyrics, when i listen to it i still can't figure out what they are saying

I would reccommend both CDs, but it matters on your taste. 'Oh, Inverted World' was an instant satisfaction for me, while 'Chutes Too Narrow' took me a few listens through to grasp it's depth. Although both are amazing, 'Chutes Too Narrow' is the best in my opinion, if you're willing to give it time.

I love the way he sings this. I haven't listened to any other The Shins songs, but I really like this one. His voice is very different and refreshing. Plus it's a really awesome song.
