Heart Cooks Brain - Modest Mouse

Slow walk

It’s land mine

It’s coal mine

It’s a bad thought

On the way to god don’t know

my brain’s the burger and my heart’s the coal

I’m trying to get my head clear

i push things out through my mouth i get refilled through my ears

i’m on my way to god don’t know or even care

my brain’s the weak heart, and my heart’s the long stairs

Inland from Vancouver shore

the ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward

inward and outward

in this place that i call home

my brain’s the cliff, and my heart’s the bitter buffalo

my heart’s the bitter buffalo

we tore one down, and erected another there

the match of the century: absence versus thin air

on the way to god don’t know

my brain’s the burger and my heart’s the coal

on this life that we call home

the years go fast and the days go so slow
