Ansel Lyrics - Strangers To Ourselves - Modest Mouse

(Here we go!) 

I took a train down to New Mexico 

With my father and brother, Ansel 

You can't know, well, you can't ever really know 

Was I really supposed to know? 

How the hell would I know? 

(There it goes!) 

I made a mess of myself and the trip on the whole 

My father stayed patient with me; why? I don't know 

You can't know, you can't ever really know 

That's the last time I'd see my brother, Ansel 

(There he goes, so) 

Troubles on the head winds, troubles on the tail winds 

Troubles on the head winds, troubles on the tail winds 

Me and my sister we hung on the phone 

Watching the news as they looked for Ansel 

On top of that mountain, underneath the snow 

Their dogs were sniffin', I guess you never know 

You can't know, well, you can't ever really know 

Would you really want to know? 

How the hell would you know? 

On gears around an uncaring sun 

It doesn't know what it gave 

As the bone moon winds 'round again 

Again this allows one sphere's heart to pump 

Pumping waves of hearts that come and go 

And then come and then 

You can't know, well, you won't ever really know 

Would you really want to know? 

No, you can't know 

The last time that you'll ever see another soul 

No, you never get to know 

No, you don't know
