《This Year》歌词

[00:00:00] This Year - The Mountain Goats

[00:00:28] I broke free on a Saturday morning

[00:00:32] I put the pedal to the floor

[00:00:35] Headed north on mills avenue

[00:00:39] And listened to the engine roar

[00:00:56] My broken house behind me

[00:00:58] And good things ahead

[00:00:59] A girl named Cathy

[00:01:01] Wants a little of my time

[00:01:03] Six cylinders underneath the hood

[00:01:05] Crashing and kicking

[00:01:07] Aha

[00:01:07] Listen to the engine whine

[00:01:09] I am going to make it through this year

[00:01:13] If it kills me

[00:01:14] I am going to make it though this year

[00:01:20] If it kills me

[00:01:37] I played video games in a drunken haze

[00:01:41] I was seventeen years young

[00:01:44] Hurt my knuckles punching the machines

[00:01:47] The taste of scotch rich on my tongue

[00:02:06] And then Cathy showed up

[00:02:07] And we hung out

[00:02:08] Trading swigs from a bottle

[00:02:10] All bitter and clean

[00:02:12] Locking eyes

[00:02:14] Holding hands

[00:02:15] Twin high maintenance machines

[00:02:19] I am going to make it through this year

[00:02:22] If it kills me

[00:02:24] I am going to make it though this year

[00:02:29] If it kills me

[00:02:32] I drove home in the California dusk

[00:02:37] I could feel the alcohol inside of me hum

[00:02:40] Pictured the look on my stepfather's face

[00:02:43] Ready for the bad things to come

[00:02:47] I down shifted

[00:02:48] As i pulled into the driveway

[00:02:51] The motor screaming out

[00:02:52] Stuck in second gear

[00:02:53] The scene ends badly

[00:02:55] As you might imagine

[00:02:56] In a cavalcade of anger and fear

[00:03:00] There will be feasting and dancing

[00:03:04] In Jerusalem next year

[00:03:07] I am going to make it through this year

[00:03:11] If it kills me

[00:03:12] I am going to make it though this year

[00:03:17] If it kills me
