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

We were spitting venom at most everyone we know 

If the damned gave us a road map then we'd know just were to go 

Now let it drop 

let it all drop 

Let it all drop 

Oh let it all fall off 

well you were talking soda pop 

You were talking quite a lot 

The opinions that I do not give 

The opinions I ain't got 

So let it drop 

let it all drop 

Let it all drop 

Let it all fall off there oh 

well you were spitting venom at most everyone you know 

If you truly knew the gravity you'd know which way to go 

Well let it drop 

let it drop 

Let it all drop 

Oh let it all fall off 

my ears were bristled firmly right against your mouth to hear 

When you tried to spit the venom out your words were not so clear 

Now drop 

hold on to what you need 

We've got a knack for fucked up history 

Hold on to what you need 

We've got a knack for messed up history 

well we went downtown and we sat in the rain 

Well looking what direction and waiting for a train and thought over 

Its all over 

I did't know you kept track I didn't know there was a score 

Well it looks like your the winner and I ain't gonna play no more 

Its over 

Game over 

well we walked real stiff and I came inside the ground 

You hit me with yours 

And said 'pull yourself together' 

Its over 

Oh it's over 

you can say what you want but don't act like you care 

It takes more than one person to decide what's fair 

Its over 

Think it over 

you were spitting venom at most everyone you know 

If the damned gave you a road map then you'd know just where to go 

So we carried all the groceries in while hauling out the trash 

And if this doesn't make us motionless I do not know what can 

What a rotten thing to say such an awful thing to say 

I didn't mean to bite you so really 

What I always did what I always did what I always had to sling 

So let it drop 

let it all drop 

Let it all drop 

Oh let it all fall off 

let it drop 

Let it all drop 

Let it drop 

Oh let it all fall off 

cheer up baby it wasn't always quite so bad for every bit of venom that came out the antidote was had 

X 7 

cheer up 

cheer up baby it wasn't always quite so bad for every bit of venom that came out the antidote was had
