Game Shows Touch Our Lives

The Mountain Goats

Dug up a fifth of Hood River gin

That stuff tastes like medicine

But I'll take it

It'll do



On the couch in the living room all day long

Music on the television playing our song

And I'm in the mood

The mood for you



Turn the volume up real high

All of that money -- look at it fly

And you smoking

like chimney



Shadows crawled across the living room's length

I held onto you with a desperate strength

With everything

With everything in me



And I handed you a drink of the lovely little thing

On which our survival depends

People say friends don't destroy one another

What do they know about friends?



Thunderclouds forming - cream white moon

Everything's gonna be okay soon

Maybe tomorrow

Maybe the next day



Carried you up the stairs that night

All this could be yours if the price is right

I heard cars headed down to oblivion up on the expressway



Your drunken kisses as light as the air

Maybe everything that falls down

Eventually rises



Our house sinking into disrepair

Ah, but look at this showroom

Filled with fabulous prizes
