Third Planet Lyrics - The Moon & Antarctica - Modest Mouse

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart 

I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over 

My boss just quit the job says 

He's goin' out to find blind spots and he'll do it 

The third planet is sure that they're being watched 

By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped 

When you get to the promise land 

Your gonna shake that eyes hand 

Your heart felt good it was drippin' pitch and made of wood 

And your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me 

Outside naked, shiverin' looking blue 

From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon 

Baby come angels fly around you, reminding you 

We used to be three and not just two 

And that's how the world began 

And that's how the world will end 

A third had just been made and we were swimming in the water 

Didn't know, then was it a son was it a daughter 

When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming 

Around in the water in the oceans, in our bodies 

And another had been found, another ocean on the planet 

Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic 

And how 

Well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth 

If you go straight long enough, you'll end up where you were
