The Big Game Is Every Night Lyrics - Magnolia Electric Company Co. - Songs:ohia

It'll get so quiet when this record ends 

You can hear the first hour of the world 

You can hear the willow branches touch the wave 

Write our names beside our Darlings' heart 

Write our names besides no one's heart 

Rise moon on the shores of the seas 

Shine on the distance between me and the last thing I see 

Let it be me helping 

Let it be me honestly 

Let it be me working 

On being a better me 

Rise moon on the shores of the seas 

Shine on the distance between me and the last thing I see 

Now light the field for the big game tonight 

Mark twain to Thomas Jefferson strike 

Luke the Drifter to Zimmerman line drive 

(to keep the team alive) 

Unitas to Berry scarry 

Everything against you sweetness 

You bring the first down again 

See it's ones like this you can always trust 

Not to disappoint us 

Moon shine that white lightning light 

Down on the Possums' stage tonight 

Maybe on the Man in Black 

You could hold a little something back 

Let his eyes adjust to the light 

Rise Moon Rise above me 

Show an American if really I am the snake they're all saying 

If they look up here do they see just my black tail swaying? 

If I'm all fangs and all lies and all poison 

If I'm really what they're saying 

I don't want to disappoint them
