LYRICS
Brave young cowboys
Of the near north side
Mount those bridge rails
Ride all night
Scream when captured
Arch your back
Let this whole town hear
Your knuckles crack
Sapphire Trans-Am
Highbeams in vain
Drive wild broncos
Down the plain
Push up to the corner
Where the turbines hiss
Someday we won't
Remember this
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
God damn these vampires
For what they've done to me
Tie those horses
To the post outside
And let those glass doors
Open wide
And in their surface
See two young, savage things
Barely worth
Remembering
Feast like pagans
Never get enough
Sleep like dead men
Wake up like dead men
And when the sun comes
Try not to hate the light
Someday we'll try
To walk upright
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
God damn these bite marks
Deep in my arteries
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
God damn these vampires
For what they've done to me

This song is so evocative to me, it's a very accurate portrait of how I felt when I was a hopeless junkie. I'll always love this song for how chillingly accurate it is.

I remember being at a show around 2003ish (Space 1110, Lubbock) and John poking fun at the 'scene kids' having to sweep their hair out of their face constantly! my oh my, how the tables have turned. Love these sessions!

The first time I heard this song I immediately knew I was gonna love All Eternals Deck, and to this day it remains my favorite though by an admittedly small margin that further shrinks every time I listen to In League with Dragons.

If you look at the KZfaq info, they apparently think this song *is* in league with dragons

Still waiting for John Carpenter to come out of retirement and make this song into a feature film.

This is the very first Mountain Goats song I ever heard. I played it over and over again until I fell asleep.

Don't quit crawling. Not til dawn.

And dawn came, the vampires turned to dust. We fashioned stakes for the ones hidden in shadows and exposed our necks at dusk.

This is so cool. I never thought until today to look for video of the Jordan Lake sessions. This was the first song I thought to search for so idk if their is more, yet. God damn TJLS has been on my ears for months. It's so good. And saw them live this year, 2022. So fucking good thank you TMG!:

What did the vampires do to you as you are singing the song and seem ok?

@LeCharles07 11 ай бұрын

Vampires in this song refer to heroin and speed. John fought the hardest fight and got clean; he "[learned] to walk upright". John Darnielle is one of the most inspiring people I've ever had the privilege to meet and I hope to have that privilege again some day.
