Unicorn Tolerance Lyrics - Mountain Goats

Drawn to the dark 

Covered by the blood when possible 

Call to the corners 

To any open crucible 

Easy to reach 

Bearing every mark unmissably 

Wanna leave behind some token of what I carried with me 

Search in the storm drains 

Sleep in the underpasses 

Try hard to look hard 

Behind my blackout sunglasses 

But I have high unicorn tolerance 

I have high unicorn tolerance 

I have high unicorn tolerance 

I have high unicorn tolerance 

Swim with real sharks 

Those who never speak when spoken to 

Hard limits fade into memory 

Once broken through 

Scaling the well 

Every single day instinctively 

Feel shame real shame 

For what my friends must think of me 

Dig through the graveyard 

Rub the bones against my face 

It gets real nice around the graveyard 

Once you've acquired the taste 

And when the clouds do clear away 

Get a momentary chance to see 

The thing I've been trying to beat to death 

The soft creature that I used to be 

The better animal I used to be 

Draw where I'm drawn 

Seldom wonder why, just follow you 

Never blame the rags that swallowed me 

For the place the river took me to 

Long life to the spiders 

Safe travels to the crows 

Love to the ghosts 

Who taught me everything I know
