Education Lyrics

Artist: Modest Mouse
Album: We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

call it education, it was somewhere inbetween
you gave me some sound advice, but i wasn't listening
after we had capsized, i couldnt tell you how you found
well Im not sure if I laid to rest, the city or the wall

not quite conversation, it was somewhere inbetween
you said everything has died and i listened patiently
all these starvin pony's are monkeys the whole time
we could not have them flinging shit on our modern suits and tie

instincts they were cringing, about how we lived our lives
it didnt seem we lived enough to even get to die
all these damn distractions, so beautifully complex
i love lifes surprises so much i dont want to know whats ahead

stumbling and shouting he said
"i dont do what you do"
i dont know, put it really really high
if you highly care
and you dont stumble thru it

highly education it was somewhere inbetween
oh, i hit the roof, but i had aimed for the ceiling

highly education all them books i didnt read
they just sat there on my shelf, looking much smarter than me
good 'ol nostradamus, he knew the whole damn time
there'd always be an east from west and someone in their ?
stumble thru it, stumble thru it
