What People Are Made Of Lyrics - The Moon & Antarctica - Modest Mouse

Rag weed tall better hope that his ladder don't crack 

Or he'll hit the ground low, hard and out of his back 

At the battle at the bottom of the ocean, well the dead 

Do rise 

You need proof I got proof at the surface you can watch 

'Em float by 

Way in back of the room, there sits a cage 

Inside it's a clock that you can win if you can guess its age 

Which you never can do 'cause the time it constantly changes 

For luck or lack 

I guess that is the saying 

On the first page of the book of blue it read 

"If you read this page, than that'll be your death" 

By then it was too late 

And you wound up on an island of shells and bones that 

Bodies had left 

And the one thing you taught me 

'bout human beings was this 

They ain't made of nothin' but water and shit
