The Mountain Goats – Up the WolvesThere's bound to be a ghost At the back of your closetNo matter where you liveThere'll always be a few things Maybe several thingsThat you're gonna find really difficult to forgiveThere's gonna come a day When you'll feel betterYou'll rise up free and easy on that dayAnd float from branch to branchLighter than the airJust when that day is coming Who can sayWho can sayOur mother has been absentEver since we founded RomeBut there's gonna be a party When the wolf comes homeWe're gonna commandeer The local airwavesTo tell the neighbors what's been going onAnd they will shake their headsAnd wag their bony fingersIn all the wrong directionsAnd by daybreak we'll be goneI'm gonna get myself in fighting trimScope out every angle Of unfair advantageI'm gonna bribe the officialsI'm gonna kill all the judgesIt's gonna take you people yearsTo recover from all of the damageOur mother has been absentEver since we founded RomeBut there's gonna be a party When the wolf comes home
