The Mountain Goats are an American band formed in Claremont, California, by singer-songwriter John Darnielle. The band is currently based in Durham, North Carolina. For many years, the sole member of the Mountain Goats was Darnielle, despite the plural moniker. The Mountain Goats are, for all practical purposes, the endlessly clever and prolific John Darnielle and whatever musicians he surrounds himself with, which means that while the soundscape may change from project to project

AD You are sleeping off your demons AD When I come home AE Spittle bubbling on your lips AD Fine white foam AD I am young and I am good AD It's a hot Southern California day AE If I wake you up AD There will be hell to pay A And alone in my room DA I am the last of a lost civilization DA And I vanish into the dark DA And rise above my station DA Rise above my station
DADAEAA
AD But I do wake you up and when I do AD You blaze down the hall and you scream AE I'm in my room with my headphones on AD Deep in a dream chamber AD And then I'm awake and I'm guarding my face AD Hoping you don't break my stereo AE Because it's the one thing that I couldn't live without A And so I think about that D Then I sort of black out A Held under these smothering waves DA By your strong and thick veined hand DA But one of these days EA I'm gonna wriggle off on dry land
