Foals in winter coats,
White girls of the North,
File past one, five and one,
They are the fabled lambs,
Of Sunday ham,
The E.H.S. norm.

And they can float above the grass,
In circles if they tried,
A latent power I know they hide,
To keep some hope alive,
That a girl like I could ever try,
Could ever try.

So we just skirt the hallway sides,
A phantom and a fly,
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection.

A week of rolling eyes,
And cheap shots from the trite,

And we're off to Nemarcas' porch again,
Another afternoon with the goat head tunes,
And pilfered booze.

We wandered through her mama's house,
And the milk from the window lights,
Family portraits circa ninety-five,
This is that foreign land,
With the sprayed on tans,
And it all feels fine,
Be it silk or slime,

So, when they tap our Monday heads,
Two zombies walk in our stead.
This town seems hardly worth the time.
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too far along in our climb,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

So, when they tap our Sunday heads,
Two zombies walk in our stead.
This town seems hardly worth the time.
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too far along in our crime,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

[Verse 1]
Foals in winter coats
White girls of the north
File past; one, five, and one
They are the fabled lambs
Of Sunday ham
The ancient snow

[Verse 2]
And they could float above the grass
In circles if they tried
A latent power I know they hide
To keep some hope alive
That a girl like I
Could ever try
Could ever try

[Chorus 1]
So we just skirt the hallway sides
A phantom and a fly
Follow the lines
And wonder why
There's no connection
A week of rolling eyes
And cheap shots from the tribe
And we're off to Nemarca's porch again

[Verse 3]
Another afternoon
Of the goat-head tunes
And pilfered booze
We wander through her Momma's house
The milk from the window lights
Family portrait, circa '95

[Verse 4]
This is that foreign land
With the sprayed-on tans
And it all feels fine
Be it silk or slime

[Chorus 2]
So, when they tap our Monday heads
Two zombies walk in our stead
This town seems hardly worth our time
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme
Too far along in our crime
Stepping over what now towers to the sky
With no connection

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh

I can't believe this song is 17 years old. It seems like just yesterday I was looking up the lyrics so I could sing along. Such a perfect song from an amazing band.

@paulmartos7730

I heard it a month ago on my car radio. I'd heard it many times but realized how much I missed this band's gorgeous music. It's a damned shame they aren't played more often.

@juliejerkoff

Hard to believe this song is older than my kid!! Because it makes me feel like a kid tbh

@lukecasio9810

The Indie heyday was a glorious time to be young

@aquacrimefighter2368

Luke Brunet Yes it was. So thankful for my teenage years, but what I wouldn’t give to go back...

@cactaceous

Wasn't the indie prime heyday in the late 80's- early 90's? This is when indie was already mainstream.

@derekfisher8571

The late 90's was indies best time in my opinion, but The Shins are amazing in this time period

@blitzkrieg459

Good times back them, can’t believe I’m saying this, but I would love to go back to that time. I was 18 then and if only I did things differently.

@Nikki_garsonne

The album was released in 2007... Not in the late 90's
