Lovecraft In Brooklyn

song : lovecraft in brooklyn artist : the mountain goats B A A - B x3 A A - G A A - B Verse 1 A A - B its gonna be too hot to breathe today A A - B but everybodys out here on the street A A - G somebodys opened up the fire hydrant A A - B cold water rushing out in sheets some kid in a marcus alan jersey asks me for a cigarette companionship is where you find it so i take what i can get Chorus A hubcaps on the cars like funhouse mirrors G stick to the shadows when i can B ( 7th fret harmonics ring out ) lovecraft in brooklyn Verse 2 when the sun goes down the armies of the voiceless several hundred thousand strong call me without their bandages their voices raised in song when the streetlights sputter out they make this awful sizzling sound i cast my gaze towards the pavement too many bloodstains on the ground Chorus rhode island drops into the ocean no place to call home anymore lovecraft in brooklyn Bridge G head outside most A everyday to G try to keep the A wolves away G imagine nice things A G i might say A if company should come Verse 3 woke up afraid of my own shadow like genuinely afraid headed for the pawnshop to buy myself a switchblade someday somethings coming from way out beyond the stars to kill us while we stand here itll store our brains in mason jars Chorus and then the girl behind the counter she asks me how i feel today i feel like lovecraft in brooklyn ( yeah! ) [ not cheering for myself for submitting a tab , john darnielle says that in the song ]
