Ground Level Songtext
von The Mountain Goats

You can make out all the exits
From a static position
One quick walk around will give you
All the relevant information

I′m never gonna break my neck
Falling down stairs
Tan and mustard yellow, I beam
Visible from the air

Tall space heater
Down the main hallway
Blue pilot light
Hissing all night


We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf

You can light a cigarette
Against the cook top if you need to
Feel the heat against your forehead
Let it bleed through

You're never gonna get by
On three hours sleep a night
Unless you absolutely have to
And then you get by all right

Move in silence
If you can′t stay still
Nobody sees your face
Through the security grille


We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
We sleep light in the shadow of the cloverleaf
