Florida Lyrics - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse

Although we often wondered 

It was no thing of wonder 

The shit that flew from our minds 

Grass stains and fresh fruit 

Reminds our shoes of horse glue 

On this ridiculous climb 

With great tall vision 

We built ourselves a mission 

To ride out motives decide 

Oh, with vague description 

Of what we have been missing 

So why would anyone try? 

It was always worth it 

That's the part I seem to hide 

And the busy ant empire 

Put all your clothes inside 

I wasn't always cargo 

I guess I'll pack up my mind 

It took so much effort 

Not to make an effort 

Oh, what a flawless design 

It was always worth it 

That's the part I seem to hide 

And the busy ant empire 

Put all your clothes inside 

Even as I left Florida 

(Yee-ha) 

It was always worth it 

That's the part I seem to hide 

And the busy ant empire 

Put all your clothes inside 

Even as I left Florida 

Far enough, far enough 

Wasn't far enough 

Couldn't quite seem to escape myself 

Far enough, far enough 

Far from Florida 

We were all drowning in cruise control 

Far enough, far enough 

Wasn't far enough 

I stood on my heart supports thinkin' 

'Oh my God, I'll probably have to carry this whole load.' 

I couldn't remember if I tried 

I couldn't remember if I took my brain out, threw it so directly at the goal 

I couldn't remember if I, 

I could have my mind erased 

And still not know exactly what I don't already know 

Even as I left Florida
