Letter from Belgium (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3)

Martin calls to say he's sending old electrical equipment
That's good, we can always use some more electrical equipment

In the cold clear light of day down here
Everyone's a monster
That's cool with all of us
We've been past the point of help since early April

Susan and your notebook
Freehand drawings of Lon Chaney
Blueprints for geodesic domes
Recipes for a cake

Yeah, we're all here
Chewing our tongues off
Waiting for the fever to break

When we walk out in the sunlight we tell everyone we know it hurts our eyes
When the real reason we don't like it is that it makes us wonder if we're dying

And Martin's found an old trunk full of stage makeup in the basement
And he's sending it along, we can always use more makeup
Yeah, more creams and powders

And Sadie's got the feeling
That the people next door
Will close in like a wolf pack
Should we make one small mistake

Yeah, we're all here
Chewing our tongues off
Waiting for the fever to break

Yeah, man
Yes, yes
Cool, cool
Hello, it's us, The Mountain Goats
Still at home, still locked up like dogs
Why? That got me
That would be our new game, it's barking
You know, because, 'cause they can't play games in Cleveland right now with the crowd
So we're-we're gonna take over that whole-, anyway
Alright, is this in E-flat? Or is it in D-sharp?
(C-sharp) C-sharp? Okay
Is it in E-flat or is it D-sharp? That was a trick question
This is uh, Often Get Lonely
