Artist: Modest Mouse

Album: The Lonesome Crowded West

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Isaac Brock, Jeremiah Green, Eric Judy

Slow walk
It's land mine
It's coal mine
It's a bad thought

On the way to God don't know
My brain's the burger
And my heart's the coal
I'm trying to get my head clear
I push things out through my mouth
I get refilled through my ears
I get refilled through my ears
I get refilled through my ears

I'm on my way to God don't know or even care
My brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore
The ravens and the seagulls
Push each other inward and outward
Inward and outward

In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff
And my heart's the bitter buffalo
My heart's the bitter buffalo
We tore one down and erected another there
The match of the century
Absence versus thin air

On the way to God don't know
My brain's the burger
And my heart's the coal
On this life that we call home
The years go fast
And the days go so slow
The days go so slow
The days go so slow

On the way to God don't know
My brain's the burger
And my heart's the coal
I'm trying to get my head clear
I push things out through my mouth
I get refilled through my ears
I get refilled through my ears
I get refilled

I'm on my way to God don't know or even care
My brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore
The ravens and the seagulls
Push each other inward and outward
Inward and outward

In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff
And my heart's the bitter buffalo
My heart's the bitter buffalo
We tore one down, and erected another there
And the match of the century
Absence versus thin air
Absence versus thin air

On this life that we call home
The years go fast and the days go so slow
Days go so slow

    A simple Atheist's view of where he's going in this world, nowhere. If a person doesn't have God in their life, they have no direction or purpose.

    The conscience of the heart comes in conflict with the reasoning of the mind. Hence we have the title: "Heart Cooks Brain"
