3 Inch Horses, Two Faced Monsters Lyrics

Modest Mouse

It's the big show tongue tip tied to the roof of my mouth bad naughty little
angels come rushin' out.
I don't know but I been told you never die and you never grow old.

well.
It's the big show it's big show
Looked like we were photographed at gun point so I had to laugh.
Ha ha.
You said "I hope you live forever." Don't you wish that on me.
You said "don't be clever."
I don't know but I been told you never die and you never grow old.
It's the big show. It's the big show!
Three inch horses watching them drown (in the tar pits).
We're kneeling down.
They see us talking out both sides of our mouths.
Two faced monsters. aaawh.
