"Standard Bitter Love Song #8" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
"Standard Bitter Love Song #8"

I went down to Lloyd Center looking for you
But a mouth full of anger blocked my view
He took your hand there in the skating the rink

[Refrain:]
God will give him blood to drink

Saw the two of you leaving
I didn't want to follow behind
But I could see the rest of your evening
Burning in my mind
The sky's black, the moon's pink

[Refrain:]
God will give him blood to drink

I looked over the railing, ice was white
On the northeast side where I saw you and your boyfriend
On a friday night
I went mining for gold; I struck pure, fresh zinc

[Refrain:]
God, god will give him blood to drink

[Outro:]
Hey, hey, hey
