Pigs That Ran Straightaway Into the Water, Triumph Of - The Mountain Goats

Written by：John Darnielle

You're gonna

Send me back to where

I came from

Please don't send me

Back to where I came from

Let me go

Where the white

Magnolias grows

You're gonna fit me for that

Orange jumpsuit

Please don't fit me

For that orange jumpsuit

Let me ride

Where the dragonflies glide

John Darnielle

Going to do

What you want to do

No matter what

I ask of you

You think you hold

The high hand

I've got my doubts

I come from Chino

Where the asphalt sprouts

Big bus headed southeast

From the courthouse

But I'm not headed southeast

From the courthouse

Let some mysterious chunk

Of space debris

Puncture the roof

And set me free

And even if

I have to go to claremont

Well I guess

I'll just have to

Go to claremont

Let me go

Let me lie low

Yeah but you're going to do

What you want to do

No matter what

I ask of you

And you send

Your dark messengers

To tempt me

I come from Chino

So all your

Threats are empty
