Shit In Your Cut Lyrics - Strangers To Ourselves - Modest Mouse

I'd hate to be the shit in your cut 

But the package is gonna be late 

I buried it in an abandoned lot 

When I was young this was where I'd played 

Dug under the fence with my claws 

Smelled the cool dirt on my face 

I'm waiting till the hands fall off the clock 

Spending dollars at the nickel arcade 

I think I'll ride this winter out 

I guess I'll ride this winter out 

You echo from side to side 

Pacing in your clumsy ballet 

Based on the books and clothes on the floor 

I don't think this is even your place 

When the doctor finally showed up (oh boy!) 

His fur was soaking wet 

He said that "this should do the trick" 

We hadn't told him what the problem was yet 

(Kaw kaw kaw kaw!) 

We'll have to ride this winter out 

This time we'll ride this winter out 

With the strain and the comforting you know everyone needs to go 

But don't everyone go, don't everyone go at once 

Expulsion from an exoskeleton of our mothers we arrive 

Soft sticky and cold we arrive and then start to cry 

All those insects I that sent are trapped in my window once again 

Empty their pockets out and I'll sort it at the table 

Line 'em up then shoo 'em off 

Sure as hell they'll all get caught in our window 

Pockets full as they are able 

The signs all flicker and buzz all night 

Passing by you can hear them say 

"Hey, please won't just come on in? 

Won't you please just go away?" 

This time we'll ride this winter out 

I guess we'll ride this winter out 

(With the strain and the comforting you know everyone needs to go) 

(But don't everyone go, don't everyone go at once) 

(With the strain and the comforting you know everyone needs to go) 

(But don't everyone go, don't everyone go at once) 

(With the strain and the comforting you know everyone needs to go) 

(But don't everyone go, don't everyone go at once) 

I think I'll ride this winter out 

I guess we'll ride this winter out 

I guess we'll ride this winter out
