Modest Mouse Picking Dragons' Pockets Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ain't your passenger now
I ain't your passenger now, nor your equipment
An auditory trick
They're a boot that begs to be licked
I am the tarmac, I'm the pilot, I'm the flight path
Can't get past that

[Chorus]
Well they'll go crazy
If you don't go crazy somehow
And I'm not crazy ‘bout
What they're so crazy ‘bout now

[Verse 2]
We've been eating our own
We've been eating our young
We've been eating our own young
Idle hands around the devil's throat
A suicide note that another's hand wrote
And we're used to this

[Chorus]
And they'll go crazy
If you don't go crazy somehow
And I'm not crazy 'bout
What they're so crazy 'bout now

[Bridge]
Picking dragons pockets and away we go
Breathe in poison, then you breathe out smoke
It's clear I'm looking for an antidote
Well you pay for garbage, and you've cast your vote
I found out how low I'd go
Came up from the bottom looking like a ghost
I tried to go to Auckland but just did not go
Turns out when it rains it snows

[Verse 3]
A pile of leaves in the wind Fresh clothes on dirty skin
The means to meet no ends again

[Pre-Chorus]
Picking dragons pockets and away we go
My eyes are their eyes watch the show
Facts aren't facts on screens that glow
But we're a pretty tricky little animal

[Chorus]
Well I'm not crazy ‘bout
What they're so crazy 'bout now
And they'll go crazy
If you don't go crazy somehow

[Bridge]
They looked outside with a microscope
Voice to skull try to crush your soul
But we're a pretty tricky little animal
Killers get killed, that's just the way it goes
Well, something that I know for sure is love makes love
And hate makes more
We're a pretty tricky little animal
Well, we're pretty tricky little animals
Something that I know for sure is love makes love
But hate makes more
For sure a pretty tricky little animal
We're a pretty tricky little animal

[Outro]
I ain't your passenger now
I ain't your passenger now
I'm just equipment
We've been eating our own
We've been eating our young
We've been eating our own young
