Head South Lyrics - This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About - Modest Mouse

A surf rock man from the land of plenty 

Surf rock mess with no surf but pine trees 

Struck by being ashamed of your old space 

Just wanting that mean heat 

You bleached your hair 

And you pawned your skis 

And then you sold out for the 

Shade of the palm tree scene 

And said, "Of what a drag! 

Oh what a backwards scheme, 

'cause here things go from gray 

To gray and back to gray again 

And they get green and go to gray 

And back to gray again" 

[Repeat: x12] 

So he said," Head south!" 

Struck by being ashamed of your old space 

Just wanting that mean heat 

You bleached your hair 

And you pawned your skis 

And then you sold out for the 

Shape of the palm tree scene 

Surrounded, cut off jeans 

And cut off jeans and cut off 

Jeans are what you mean 

[Repeat: x12] 

When you say, "Head south!"
