"Indonesia" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

The summer came in carrying spring in its mouth
Held it up for everyone to see
This is the time when all of our plans and schemes
Melt down into listless anarchy
Historically anyway that's been the case
But this year there's a new pink sheen on your face

[Chorus 1:]
Like the color of a secret flower
That grows tall and moist and incorruptible
In Indonesia, Indonesia

The season tunneled forward like a moth through grain
Its hunger was an all-consuming mindless thing
And you slept for 12 to 14 hours in a stretch
I wondered what the weather in the fall was going to bring
And then you said you dreamt of cowboys
That were zombies in disguise
Well I knew fall was never coming
It was written on your eyes

[Chorus 2:]
Like the mist hangs there in the air
On the mountainside where rare and nameless flowers grow
In Indonesia, Indonesia
