3rd Planet Lyrics - Modest Mouse

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart 

I've got this thing that I consider my only art 

Of fucking people over. 

My boss just quit the job 

Says he goin' to find blind spots 

And he'll do it. 

The 3rd planet is sure that they're being watched 

By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped. 

When you get to the promise land 

Your gonna shake that eyes hand. 

Your heart felt good 

It was drippin' pitch and made out of wood. 

And your hands and knees 

Felt cold and wet on the grass to me. 

Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, 

From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon. 

Baby cum angles fly around you 

Reminding you we used to be three and not just two. 

And that's how the world began. 

And that's how the world will end. 

A third planet had just been made 

And we were swimming in the water, 

Didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter. 

When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming 

Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies 

And another had been found another ocean on the planet 

Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic. 

And how. 

The universe is shaped exactly like the earth 

If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were. 

Everything that keeps me toghther 

Is falling apart I got this thing 

I consider my only art and fucking people over
