MODEST MOUSE
"Walking And Running"

We got rooked to believe
We had more tricks up our sleeves
As the king of the mountain when it blows sky high
You just don't get to see
We get tossed, we get turned
While the ants intercept underground with the worms
We sweat out, evaporation occurs
The rain from the clouds really stirs up the dirt

[Pre-Chorus:]
We are walking and running and we are moving around
Well, we're so very active we make hummingbirds proud
With our talkin' talkin' chatter chatter lips throat smile
We make much such a noise the Blue Angels are proud
With our poking and prying we hauled your secrets all out

Well, we're so very active we make hummingbirds proud
With our talkin' talkin' chatter chatter lips throat smile
We made such a noise that volcanoes are proud
Well we're walking and running and we are moving around
Well, we're so very active we make beehives proud

[Chorus:]
There are some thoughts
That should never
Form to words inside our throats
There are some thoughts
That should never
Form to words inside our throats
