Lyrics The Mountain Goats – Scavenger Babies

Wake up all the birds of prey
Dig your tools out from the clay
Seal the exits of your room
Watch the cactus flowers bloom

And send my regards to the boys down on the corner
Yeah, send my regards to the boys down on the corner

Build a house from sticks and mud
Listen to the poison singing in your blood
Pull yourself a tall cool drink
Carve your initials in the bathroom sink

And send my regards to the boys down on the corner
Yeah, send my regards to the boys down on the corner

The city of Norwalk in my dreams
Rises like Atlantis from a watery grave
Burn the things you have to burn
Save all the people you’re supposed to save

And send my belongings to the drop box in Tijuana
And send my regards to the boys down on the corner
