Blame It On The Tetons lyrics
by Modest Mouse



Blame it on the Tetons.

Yeah, I need a scapegoat now.

No my dog won't bite you,

Though it had the right to.

You oughta give her credit

Cuz she knows I would've let it happen.



Blame it on the weekends.

God I need a cola now.

Oh we mumble loudly,

Wear our shame so proudly.

Wore our blank expressions,

Trying to look interesting.

Blame it all on me cuz

God I need a cold on now.



All them eager actors

Gladly taking credit for the lines created

By the people tucked away from sight

Is just a window from the room we're bound to.

If you find a way out,

Oh would you just let me know how?

Would you just let me know how?



Blame it on the web

But the spider's your problem now.

Language is for liquid

That we're all dissolved in.

Great for solving problems

After it creates a problem.

Blame it on the Tetons,

God I need a scapegoat now.



Everyone's a building burning

With no one to put the fire out.

Standing at the window looking out,

Waiting for time to burn us down.

Everyone's an ocean drowning

With no one really to show how.

They might get a little better

If they turned themselves into a cloud.
