Title: Orange Ball of Hate Band: Mountain Goats Album: Zopilote Machine Time: 12/8 (on the record)
E (D-D#-E) when i hear the screeching weather vane E in the wild wind and the hissing rain A i know that one of us, i'm not saying who, E has got rocks in her head B as the rain comes through the open window A but you don't think so E i sure do love you E (D-D#-E) i sure do love you
when i notice that the radio is broken i see you standing there in the doorway soaking the water drizzles off of you down to the floor and i say that i don't want to live in new england anymore some flower petals stick to your skin i grab hold of your hip, and i pull you in
when the building establishes control when the thunder from the north begins to roll down our way i know i've been right all along and you start singing that stupid children's song you think i don't know it but i just don't feel like singing it sure do love you i sure do love you
