Letter From Belgium Lyrics - Mountain Goats

Martin calls to say he's sending old electrical equipment 

That's good we can always use some more electrical equipment 

In the cold clear light of day down here 

Everyone's a monster 

That's cool with all of us 

We've been past the point of help since early April 

Susan and her notebook 

Freehand drawings of Lon Chaney 

Blueprints for geodesic domes 

Recipes for cake 

Yeah we're all here 

Chewing our tongues off 

Waiting for the fever to break 

When we walk out in the sunlight we tell every we know it hurts our eyes 

When the real reason we don't like it is that it makes us wonder if we're dying 

And Martin's found an old trunk full of stage makeup in the basement 

And he's sending it along 

We can always use more makeup 

Yeah more creams and powders 

And Carrie's got the feeling 

That the people next door 

Will close in like a wolf pack 

Should we make one small mistake 

Yeah we're all here 

Chewing our tongues off 

Waiting for the fever to break
