Wooden Soldiers Lyrics

[Verse 1: Isaac Brock]
Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in
Didn't plan it, didn't plan it
Different planets stare down on us
Never blinking, sort of winking, indifferent as a ceiling
Observing that we're kneeling in the sands building plans
Making plans in the sand as the tides roll in
I've been sitting in the stove 'cause outside, it's sure been cold
The garbage can's refrigerated since that's where the food goes
Making plans, making plans, making plans

[Verse 2: Isaac Brock]
Wooden soldiers storm through burning buildings, on the top floor
Lives the zoo kings' neckties, prеventing them from breathing
Oh, it's such a fuzzy feeling, oh, it's such a fuzzy feeling making plans
Gasolinе flows out the ends of matchsticks used as pens
And I've been writing some pretty big checks with them
I gave the boat a person's name, so when it sinks, I'll know who to blame
The tiger isn't tame, but it's toothless just the same

[Chorus: Isaac Brock]
Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in
Making plans, making plans, making plans
Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in
Making plans

[Verse 3: Isaac Brock, Isaac Brock & Lisa Molinaro]
These fuckers wanted guilt, they tore me down and I rebuilt
Much better, oh, much better than before
In India, they make mugs, you throw them down, they turn to mud
Pull it out and make them as they were before
Since we shop at the same store, but hate each other at the core
And neither one is getting a fair deal
Sell it all on sex appeal, how you currently feel
Don't need any, just buy one, the second one will be a steal
Hashtaggin', photo-braggin', no one's even sort of real
No wonder no one feels better than before

[Chorus: Isaac Brock & Lisa Molinaro]
Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in
Making plans, making plans, making plans
Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in
Making plans
Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in
Making plans
Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in
Making plans

[Outro: Isaac Brock, Isaac Brock & Lisa Molinaro]
It's level at the peak
Our words don't speak
Calm down, retreat
Me just being here now is enough for me
It's level at the peak
(It's level)
Our words don't speak
(It's level)
You just being here being you's enough for me
You just being here being you's enough for me
It's level at the peak
(It's level)
Find your breath, don't speak
(It's level)
Just being here being you's enough for me
Just being here being you's enough for me
It's level at the peak
(It's level)
Even death just may not be
(It's level)
We'll cross that bridge sometime and see
But just being here now is enough for me
Just being here now is enough for me
Just being here now is enough for me
Just being here now is enough for me
Just being here now is enough for me

What did Modest Mouse say about "Wooden Soldiers"?

Just like with anything — these songs, conversation and life — there’s always the flip side to the coin. The intro of that song talks about us and our predatory ways, and how probably we’re being observed by something not quite human and shit while we doodle around in our sandbox or whatever. I got...
