Star Dusting
[Intro]
Hello, it's the Mountain Goats
At 10:24 on Sunday, the 20th of December
And this is a horror story
[Verse 1]
Toward the end of our first year in Las Vegas
You looked up from your little corner
And I saw that your face was getting a little brighter
And you asked me is it really getting warmer
Or is it just me?
And then you started mumbling unintelligibly
So what are you saying anyway
[Verse 2]
I thought I heard bells ringing
But then I remembered that I no longer knew what bells sounded like
I thought we'd maybe strike up a conversation
Til bad luck cruised by on his ten-speed bike
I got real cold and I grabbed my coat
And I saw that the ringing was coming from your throat
What are you saying anyway?
