Modest Mouse - What People Are Made Of lyrics

(when we talk? ) We better hope that it never cracks

All hell hit the ground all hard and under his back?

And the ground at the bottom of the ocean

Where the dead do rise

You need proof? I got proof at the surface

You can watch them float by

Way in back of the room there sits a cage

It says to come, but you can win if you forget to change

Which you never can do

Cos it’s time to constantly change

For lack or luck---I guess that is the same

It’s first page in the book of blue, it read:

"if you read this page, then that’ll mean you’re dead"

By but then it was too late

And he wound up on an island of shells

And bones, dead bodies and left (all alone)

And the one thing you can tell about human beings is this:

They ain’t made of nothing but water and shit
