Modest Mouseis an American alternativeband. The band was formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washingtonby guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Greenand bassist Eric Judy. Since being signed to Sony's Epic Records in 2000, the band has attained significant popular success. Brock came up with the name "Modest Mouse" when he read the Virginia Woolfstream of consciousness essay The Mark On the Wallin which the author described the working middle class as "modest, mouse-coloured people." Brock frequently moved around with his mother when he was a child. Around this time, his mother left his father for his father's brother (Brock's uncle).

Dark Center Of The Universe Lyrics
Modest Mouse
Well I might
Disintegrate into the thin air if you like
And Im not
The dark center of the universe like you thought
Well it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
And Im pretty damn sure that anyone can
Easily, equally fuck ya over
Well God said something but he didnt mean it
Everyones life ends but no one ever completes it
Dry and wet ice, they both melt
And youre equally cheated
Well it took a lot of work...
Well an endless ocean landing on an endless desert
Well its funny as hell, but no one laughs when they get there
If you cant see the thin air
Why the hell should you care?
Well it took a lot of work...
Well sure youll tell me youve got nothing to say
And I went and shook hands the other day
If you cant see the thin air then
What the hell is in your way?
