The Mountain Goats - Training Montage Lyrics

Water dripping from the pipes down in the basement
Bare feet on a concrete floor
Notches on the wall of my solitary cell
Sweat dripping out of every pore
It feels like it takes forever
It's maybe five minutes on screen
But the horns will swell and the strings will sound
When that flipped quarter hits the ground

I'm doing this for revenge
I'm doing this to try and stay true
I'm doing this for the ones
They had to leave behind
I'm doing this for you

Keep cool down in the quiet of the morning
Sweat blood, when the sun comes through
Thick mist on the pond before the temple
Headed down for the final rendezvous
Everybody ready for justice
Just another mile to go
But the strings will keen
And the horns will cry
When it's just me against the sky

I'm doing this for revenge
I'm doing this to try and stay true
I'm doing this for the ones
They left to twist in the wind
I'm doing this for you
I'm doing this for you

I'm doing this for revenge
I am doing this to try and stay true
I'm doing this for the ones
We had to leave behind
I'm doing this for you
I'm doing this for you
I'm doing this for you
