Heel Turn 2 - The Mountain Goats

Get stomped like a snake

Lie down in the dirt

Cling to my convictions

Even when I get hurt

Be an upstanding, well-loved man

About town

In your child’s mind that’s

How it goes down

But I try the losing side

I don’t want to die in here

I don’t want to die in here

Drift down into the new dark light

Without any reservations

You found my breaking point

Congratulations

Spend too much of my life

Now trying to play fair

Throw my better self overboard

Shoot at him when he comes up for air

Come unhinged

Get revenge

I don’t want to die in here

I don’t want to die in here

Stay good under pressure

For years and years and years and years

President of the fan club

Up there choking on his tears

Let all the trash rain down

From way up in the rafters

I’m walking out of here in one piece

Don’t care what comes after

Drive the wedge

Torch the bridge

I don’t want to die in here

I don’t want to die in here
