Orange Ball of Hate

The Mountain Goats · Zopilote Machine [1994]

when i hear the screeching weather vane

in the wild wind and the pissing rain

i know that one of us, i'm not saying who,

has got rocks in her head

the rain comes through the open window

but you don't think so

i sure do love you (2x)



when i notice that the radio is broken

i see you standing there in the doorway soaking

the water drizzles off of you down to the floor

and i say that i don't want to live in new england anymore

some flower petals stick to your skin

i grab hold of your hip, and i pull you in



when the building establishes control

when the thunder from the north begins to roll down our way

i know i've been right all along

and you start singing that stupid children's song

you think i don't know it

but i just don't feel like singing it

sure do love you

i sure do love you
