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
