Tile floor of the bathroom
Scrubbed clean and bright
Checkerboard white and grey
ย
Towels from the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Kingston, Jamaica
I can still see the rust colored stains today
The stage is set
Someone's gonna do something someone else will regret
I speak in the smoke signals and you answer in code
The fuse will have to run out sometime
ย
Something here will eventually have to explode
Have to explode
ย
You and me lying on the tile floor
Trying to keep cool
Restless all night
Sweating out the poison
As the temperature climbs
Staring up, up, at the hundred-watt light that burns above
You name one thing about us two, anyone could love
We roll out the red carpet
When rotten luck comes down the road
Five, four, three, two, one
Watch for the flash
Something here will eventually have to explode
Have to explode
Yeah, yeah!
ย
Na-na-na-na

Hi, we're the Mountain Goats
Welcome back to Jordan Lake
This uh, day two
So it's settling in, y'know, day two of the two-night stand
And if you come in that's where
You know, we've basically been sleeping in the same place
For two days instead of moving around all the time
We've been sleeping the same place for 363 days
At the same concept applies
Uhm, so uh
This is also in Tallahassee it's called, "Game shows touch our lives"
