Game Shows Touch Our Lives Lyrics - Tallahassee - Mountain Goats

Dug up a fifth of Hood River gin 

That stuff tastes like medicine 

But I'll take it 

It'll do 

On the couch in the living room all day long 

Music on the television playing our song 

And I'm in the mood 

The mood for you 

Turn the volume up real high 

All of that money, look at it fly 

And you smoking 

Like a chimney 

Shadows crawled across the living room's length 

I held onto you with a desperate strength 

With everything 

With everything in me 

And I handed you a drink of the lovely little thing 

On which our survival depends 

People say friends don't destroy one another 

What do they know about friends? 

Thunderclouds forming, cream white moon 

Everything's going to be okay soon 

Maybe tomorrow 

Maybe the next day 

Carried you up the stairs that night 

All of this could be yours if the price is right 

I heard cars headed down to oblivion 

Up on the expressway 

Your drunken kisses, as light as the air 

Maybe everything that falls down eventually rises 

Our house sinking into disrepair 

Ah, but look at this showroom filled with fabulous prizes
