"The Only Thing I Know" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

[Verse 1: John Darnielle]
When you came back from Trenton
All the sparkle was gone
You stood in the shadow
And the curtains were drawn

[Chorus 1:]
And I know you're lying
And you know you're lying too
That is just about
The only thing I know about you

When you pocketed your eyeshadow
And you picked up the phone
Stepped on the balcony
And drank in the drone

[Chorus 2:]
And I know you're leaving
You know you're leaving too
That is just about
The only thing I know about you

When you stopped on the sidewalk
And you looked up above you
The warm, wet air came down the shelter
How much do I love you

[Chorus 3:]
Well, you know you're dying
And I know you're dying too
That is just about
The only thing I know about you

[Outro]
