lyrics

The girl who'd been haunting your dreams all your life
The butcher from Brooklyn, the butcher's wife
The girl who kissed you in the seventh grade
Her and all the others lined up behind the gate

The two angels came to Sodom in the evening
when the sun up in the sky was bleeding all,
all over you

And you had your camera
And you had your felt tip
And you had some money
And you had everything you needed


The two angels came to sodom in the evening
They saw you coming up the boulevard
The two angels came to sodom in the evening
When the sun was bleeding all,
All over you

about

the Mountain Goats Durham, North Carolina

John Darnielle has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life.
—John Hodgman, 2012
