Map Of The World
Monsters of Folk Lyrics

There's a map of the world
You have a map of the world on your wall

On the wall in your room
The map is in your room, on the wall

Green pins where ya wanna to go
You put green pins on the places you'd like to visit

White pins where ya been
You put white pins on the places you've already visited

There isn't even ten,
But you haven't put down even ten pins

You're already feeling old
Despite being young, you already feel old

Pretty face stair back
A pretty face stares back at you

From a magazine stack
It's from a stack of magazines you read when feeling bored

That you read when
You specifically read these magazines when you're feeling bored

You're feeling bored
You're feeling bored right now

Look through a telescope lens
You look through a telescope lens

It doesn't make sense
But what you see doesn't make sense

You think you've been there before
It gives you a strange feeling of familiarity

Some far off feelings
You have some distant feelings

Some up close kind of ache
But you also have a more immediate ache

White screen reason to
You have a reason to look away from the white screen

Look the other way
You turn your attention elsewhere

There's a place by the lake
You have a special place by the lake

That you go when it's late
You go there late at night

It was summer and the crowds were gone
You were there in the summer when there were no crowds

And you sit all alone with
You sit there alone with

With your thoughts, gettin' stoned
Your thoughts, while getting high

Just waitin' for some peace to come
You're waiting for peace to come to you

Like the thing that'cha
Like the thing that you

Tried that you thought you liked
You tried it and thought you liked it

For a minute then it all felt wrong
But after a while, it didn't feel right anymore

So your changin' again
So you're changing again

All your clothes, all your friends
You're changing your clothes and your friends

Just the same as it ever was
But it's really just the same as it always was

That far off feeling
You still have that distant feeling

That up close kind of ache
Along with the immediate ache

Some white screen reason to
Again, you have a reason to look away from a white screen

It's a road that you've paved
You've paved a road

Over Indian graves and
But it's been paved over Indian graves

You wonder why your dreams are crazed
You wonder why your dreams are so outlandish

So you cling to your wife,
So you hold on tight to your wife

Your kids, and you life
And your kids and life

There's nothin' that you're gonna save
But really, there's nothing you can save

Put the razor to your face,
You put a razor to your face

Hot water for a shave
And use hot water to shave

Kill the shadow of yesterday
You shave away the memories of yesterday

Clean shirt, clean pants,
You put on a clean shirt and pants

Clean sleet second chance
A new chance, with a clean slate

You're goin' by another name
You're going by a different name now

That instant karma
You face an instant karma

That always comes too late
But it always comes too late
