World At Large Lyrics - Good News For People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse

Ice-age heat wave, can't complain 

If the world's at large, why should I remain? 

Walked away to another plan 

Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand 

I move on to another day 

To a whole new town with a whole new way 

Went to the porch to have a thought 

Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop 

You don't know where and you don't know when 

But you still got your words and you got your friends 

Walk along to another day 

Work a little harder, work another way 

Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan 

We'll float on maybe would you understand? 

Gonna float on baby maybe would you understand? 

Well float on maybe would you understand? 

They days get shorter and the nights get cold 

I like the autumn but this place is getting old 

I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast 

It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most 

The days get longer and the nights smell green 

I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave 

I like songs about drifters-books about the same 

They both seem to make me feel a little less insane 

Walked on off to another spot 

I still haven't got anywhere that I want 

Did I want love? Did I need to know? 

Why does it always it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow? 

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights 

Adding their breeze to the summer nights 

Outside, water like air was great 

I didn't know what I had that day 

Walk a little farther to another plan 

You said that you did, but you didn't understand 

I know that starting over is not what life's about 

My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth 

My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
