Decemberists I Don`t Mind Lyrics

I Don`t Mind Lyrics

Truly with his thorns in your side and 

you don't know why. 

Julie dips her toe in the tide and 

she don't know why 

No she don't know why she got all dolled-up for a suicide 

And when the stage lights dimmed on the fading scrim 

it was morning before the cheering died 

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind? 



King George in imperial robe and a lazy eye 

kneels down as this semafore broke on his tawdsy bride. 

But we don't know why he got all stressed out 

on the motherland 

With his t.v. sets and his fighter jets 

and the royal ubiquitous handycam. 

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind? 



There's you with your mom on your back 

going into the woods. 

She's so glad that you're staying on track like a good son should 

But you don't know why you got all worked up when you said goodbbye 

And you can hear her still when the nights are still 

crying out for calomine, 

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind
