Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Modest Mouse - Float On

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's OK
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say?
Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK

And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on anyway, well

a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand
Bad news comes-don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on exactly the same day,
Well, we'll float on, good news is on the way

And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on OK
And we'll all float on

Alright already, we'll all float on
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on


and we'll all float on
Alright already, we'll all float on
Alright, don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy
We'll all float on
Alright already, we'll all float on
Alright already, we'll all float on OK
Don't worry, we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on

Alright already, we'll all float on
Don't you worry, we'll all float on
We'll all float on, all float on

1. Modest Mouse is my absolute favorite band.

but I can't believe it's getting radio play. i'm not sure what to think of that.

If you haven't yet, check out their earlier albums - Moon + Antarctica is even better. So's "Lonsome Crowded West"

2. Here's one of my favorites...

Styrofoam Boots

Well all's not well
but i'm told that it'll all be quite nice
you'll be drowned in boots like Mafia
but your feet will still float like Christ's
and i'll be damned
they were right
i'm drowning upside down
my feet afloat like Christ's
i'm in heaven
trying to figure out which stack
they're going to stuff us atheists into
when Peter and his monkey laugh
and i laugh with them
i'm not sure what at
they point and say
we'll keep you in the back
polishing halos, baking manna and gas
well some guy comes in looking a bit like everyone i ever seen
he moves just like crisco disco
breath 100% listerine
he says looking at something else
but directing everything to me
ever time anyone gets on their knees to pray
well it makes my telephone ring
and i'll be damned
he said you were right
no one's running this whole thing
he had a theory too
he said that god takes care of himself
and you of you
it's all nice on ice alright
and it's not day
and it's not night
but it's all nice on ice alright
