This demo of “Going Invisible 2” was played on episode 4 of the second season of I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats. Its jaunty mood is quite different compared to the somber, serious final release. This change was initiated by the addition of an organ, which was a spontaneous choice in the studio....
[Verse 1]
Look in the center where the cinders blaze
Sift through the shadows for days
Look in the corners, but you can't see me
You can't see me I'm free
[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn it all down today
Down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away
[Verse 2]
Count up the keepsakes in the cabinets
The keyboards and the chemistry sets
Look in the attic where the blinds are drawn
You won't find me I'm gone
[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn it all down today
Down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away
[Bridge]
Etch an outline on your heart
I'm gonna blow the whole circus apart
[Verse 3]
Reckon the remnants when they land at last
The shattered aftermath of the blast
Look for me everywhere the burn marks form
Trying to find a place to keep warm
[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn it all down today
Down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away
I'm gonna burn it all down today
Down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away
I'm gonna burn it all down today
Down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away
