Old College Try Lyrics - Tallahassee - Mountain Goats

From the housetops to the gutters 

From the ocean to the shore 

The warning signs have all been bright and garish 

Far too great in number to ignore 

From the cities to the swamplands 

From the highways to the hills 

Our love has never had a leg to stand on 

From the aspirins to the crosstops to the Elevils 

But I will walk down to the end 

With you 

If you will come all the way down 

With me 

From the entrance to the exit 

Is longer than it looks from where we stand 

I wanna say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet 

Things will shortly get completely out of hand 

I can feel it in the rotten air tonight 

In the tips of my fingers 

In the skin on my face 

In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light 

In the way those eyes I've always loved 

Illuminate this place 

Like a trash can fire 

In a prison cell 

Like the searchlights 

In the parking lots of hell 

I will walk down to the end 

With you 

If you will come all the way down 

With me
