Heart Cooks Brain Lyrics - The Lonesome Crowded West - Modest Mouse

Slow walk, it's land mine 

It's coal mine, it's a bad thought 

On the way to God don't know 

My brain's the burger, and my heart's the coal 

I'm trying to get my head clear 

I push things out through my mouth, I get refilled through my ears 

I get refilled through my ears 

I get refilled through my ears 

I'm on my way to God don't know or even care 

My brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs 

My heart's the long stairs, my heart's the long stairs 

Inland from Vancouver shore 

The ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward 

Inward and outward 

In this place that I call home 

My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo 

My heart's the bitter buffalo 

We tore one down, and erected another there 

The match of the century, absence versus thin air 

On the way to God don't know 

My brain's the burger, and my heart's the coal 

On this life that we call home 

The years go fast and the days go so slow 

The days go so slow, the days go slow 

On the way to God don't know 

My brain's the burger, and my heart's the coal 

I'm tried getting my head clear 

I push things out through my mouth, I get refilled through my ears 

I get refilled through my ears, I get refilled through my ears 

I'm on my way to God don't know or even care 

My brain's the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs 

My heart's the long stairs, my heart's the long stairs 

Inland from Vancouver shore, 

the ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward 

Inward and outward 

In this place that I call home 

My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo 

My heart's the bitter buffalo 

We tore one down, and erected another there 

The match of the century, absence versus thin air 

Absence versus thin air 

On this life that we call home 

The years go fast and the days go so slow 

The days go so slow
