Go Back

Modest Mouse - Paper Thin Walls - The Moon & Antartica (2000)

Beginning Instrumental


These walls are paper thin and everyone hears every little sound.

Everyone's a voyeurist, they're watching me watch them watch me right now.

They're shaking hands, they're shaking in their shoes, oh Lord don't shake me down!

Everyone wants two of them, and half of everyone else who's around.

It's been agreed, the whole world stinks so no one's taking showers anymore!


Laugh hard it's a long ways to the bank!

I can't be blamed for nothin', anymore!

It's been a long...time since you've been around.

Laugh hard it's a long ways tothebank!


Tow the line, to pass the time you know...

That you don't owe.

I can't be a fool for everyone...

That I don't know!
