"Heart Cooks Brain" lyrics - MODEST MOUSE
[Intro:]
Slow walk
From land mines
It's a coal mine
It's a bad thought
[Chorus:]
I'm on my 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 get refilled through my ears
I get refilled through my ears
I'm on my way to God, don't know or don't care
My brain's the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shores
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
[Chorus:]
On my, on my way to God, don't know
My brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
In this life that we call home
The years go fast and the days go so slow
The days go so slow
The days go slow
[Chorus:]
I'm on my 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 get refilled through my ears
I get refilled...
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
My heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shores
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
Absence versus thin air
[Outro:]
In this life that we call home
The years go fast and the days go slow
The days go so slow
