Lyrics

Now men of old have said that the day was coming
And the mages of Asgard had foretold that the day was coming
And the ancient texts have all agreed someday there would be a new Mountain Goats tape

I here paraphrase the Mighty Thor issue 272 I’m pretty sure
But not entirely sure as all my old comic books got left at the old house when we moved
Anyway

There’s gonna be a new Mountain Goats tape you might wanna watch this space on Friday
There’s gonna be a new Mountain Goats tape you might wanna watch this space on Friday
You might wanna watch this space on Friday
