Modest Mouse Japanese Trees Lyrics

[Verse 1: Isaac Brock]
Oh yeah, well, I'm not even guessing what your plans may be
Yeah, you're twisted and you're bent like you're a Japanese tree
Those are pretty long arms driving from the back seat
Lay it on heavy like you're sand on a beach
Yeah, you're all ears, how hard could it be?
A cat in the grass, an eaves in the eaves
Walking in my head like I am shoes on your feet
You're twisted and you're bent like you're a Japanese tree

[Chorus: Isaac Brock & Lisa Molinaro, Lisa Molinaro, Isaac Brock]
Well, you need a place to go
And I have a place to leave
We'll split the gasoline
And sleep in the back seat
When can we leave?
When can we leave?
Why can't we leave?
Why can't we leave?
When can we leave?
Oh, you got it figured out
And I'll learn eventually
We'll ditch our phones in the rest stop bathroom
When can we leave?

[Verse 2: Isaac Brock]
We have a knack for turning days into weeks full of
Pointless details just to crease up your sleeve
You're twisted and you're bent like you're a Japanese tree
Yeah, you're twisted and you're bent like you're a Japanese tree
Pointless details just to crease up your sleeves
Yeah, make up some news and then you believe what you read Yeah, lay it on heavy like it's sand on a beach
Yeah, lay it on heavy like it's sand on a beach, yeah
[Chorus: Isaac Brock & Lisa Molinaro, Lisa Molinaro, Isaac Brock]
You need a place to go
And I have a place to leave
We'll split the gasoline
We'll sleep in the back seat
When can we leave?
When can we leave?
When can we leave?
When can we leave?
When can we leave?
Oh, you've got it figured out
And I'll learn eventually
We ditched our phones in the rest stop bathroom
Why can't we leave?
Why can't we leave?

[Outro: Isaac Brock & Lisa Molinaro, Lisa Molinaro, Isaac Brock]
Why can't we leave?
Why can't we leave?
Why can't we leave?
Why can't we leave?
Why can't we leave?
Well, you need a place to go
And I have a place to leave
So what do we need?
What do we need?
What do we need?
We'll sleep in the back seat
And I'll learn eventually
'Cause you've got it figured out
So when can we leave?
When can we leave?
We ditched our phones in the rest stop bathroom
When can we leave?
When can we leave?
Well, you need a place to go
But where can it be?
