About Tallahassee
The loop of the bass at the beginning of this track is purposefully reminiscent of the lo-fi background noise in old Mountain Goats songs. .
Tallahassee Lyrics
[00:24.63] Window facing an ill-kept front yard
[00:30.38] Plums on the tree heavy with nectar
[00:39.81] Prayers to summon the destroying angel
[00:48.36] Moon stuttering in the sky like a film stuck in a projector
[00:56.85] And you
[00:59.76] You
[01:04.52] Twin prop airplanes passing loudly overhead
[01:42.35] Road to the airport, two lanes clear
[01:51.73] Half the whole town gone for the summer
[02:00.32] Terrible silence coming down here
[02:10.84] And you
[02:12.61] You
[02:16.50] There is no deadline
[02:50.51] There is no schedule
[02:54.32] There is no plan
[02:59.03] We can fall back on
[03:03.89] The road this far can't be retraced
[03:13.28] There is no punchline anybody can tack on
[03:21.87] There are loose ends by the score
[03:31.35] What did I come down here for?
[03:39.80] You
[03:45.53] You
[03:49.34]
[00:30.38] Plums on the tree heavy with nectar
[00:39.81] Prayers to summon the destroying angel
[00:48.36] Moon stuttering in the sky like a film stuck in a projector
[00:56.85] And you
[00:59.76] You
[01:04.52] Twin prop airplanes passing loudly overhead
[01:42.35] Road to the airport, two lanes clear
[01:51.73] Half the whole town gone for the summer
[02:00.32] Terrible silence coming down here
[02:10.84] And you
[02:12.61] You
[02:16.50] There is no deadline
[02:50.51] There is no schedule
[02:54.32] There is no plan
[02:59.03] We can fall back on
[03:03.89] The road this far can't be retraced
[03:13.28] There is no punchline anybody can tack on
[03:21.87] There are loose ends by the score
[03:31.35] What did I come down here for?
[03:39.80] You
[03:45.53] You
[03:49.34]
