In Corolla Lyrics

The day I turned my back on all you people

I felt an itching in my thumbs.

The salt air like a broadcast from the distant, dark beyond

When my transformation comes.

I went down to the warm, warm water

Saw a pelican fly past

Waved once at the highway and then left all that behind me

I went wading through the grass.

And no one was gonna come and get me.

There wasn't anybody gonna know.

Even though I leave a trail of burnt things in my wake

Every single place I go.

And it was cool, and it was quietMountain Goats - In Corolla - http://motolyrics.com/mountain-goats/in-corolla-lyrics.html

In the humid marsh down there.

I let my head sink down beneath the brackish water,

Felt it gumming up my hair.

The sun was sinking into the atlantic

The last time that I turned my back on you.

I tried to summon up a little prayer as I went under

It was the best that I could do.

And I said,

"let them all fare better than your servant",

The reeds all pricking at my skin.

"here's hoping they have better luck than I had down here with you"

All that water rushing in.
