The Mountain Goats & Kaki King: Mosquito Repellent


[and the fact that the guitar strap breaks in the middle of the song just makes it that much more great]

All day, all day:
Sweeping out the shards,
Do what I have to do,
Try to start anew.
But I thought of you twice -
Couldn't help myself.
I don,t know what I need,
Clutching and fingering the rosary beads

But I try, try, try, but I know (try, try, try, but I know)
I can't let go
Try, try, try, but I know (try, try, try, but I know)
I can't let go

TV upstairs,
Leave it on all night.
Do what I have to do,
Add, subtract, and divide by 2.
But my eyes light up
At cops and robbers time.
I hope the bad guys win.
I hope the good guys get their skulls bashed in.

And I try, try, try, but I know (try, try, try, but I know)
I can't let go
I can't let go.
