History Sticks To Your Feet Lyrics - Modest Mouse

At the movies 

Eyes iced over 

Walking sideways 

Through them gutters 

And you realize that the floor 

Sticks to your feet like history 

Well don't you look at me 

Like life don't hold you anymore mystery 

Bag of splinters 

Boiling over 

On your back 

Expose your belly 

Optimism doesn't change the facts 

Just what you're gonna to see 

Like it was stated that we're walking 

Salt and coal 

Plants solidify sunshine 

How'd they start 

I don't know 

Cars and feet and then tire change 

Shoe stores 

The sun's diary pulled up from deep canary holes 

And when we read it our skin it becomes warm 

3, 4 

At the movies 

Eyes iced over 

Walking sideways 

Through the gutter 

And you realize life sticks to your feet 

You're history 

I'm gonna slap that look off your face 

Like life don't hold no mystery 

All those red marks 

On our shoulders 

Self back patting 

Homemade trophies 

Well the path only exists 

As tiny bricks 

We burn to release all it's memory 

I've had enough with rolling boulders 

I want more moss on me 

Clocks move splinters 

The time goes forward 

When them trees are leaves 

Your feet collect their memories 

I guess all is safe 

And I guess that a deer can't scheme 

I heard you mention that we're walking 

Salt and coal 

Plants solidify sunshine 

How'd it start 

I don't know 

Cars and feet and then tire change 

Shoe stores 

The sun's diary pulled up 

From deep canary holes 

And when we read it 

Our skin it becomes quite warm 

At the movies 

Eyes iced over 

Walking sideways 

Through the gutters 

And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet 

You're history 

I'm gonna knock that look off your face 

Like life don't hold you no more mystery
