This plane is definitely crashing!
This boat is obviously sinking!
This building's totally burning down!
And my...
And my heart is slowly drying up!

| It may seem like a meaningless ditty, but most MM songs have meaning, especially the almost pointless. Basically, its aying that you inevidably have shit luck, because you inevidably die. Whether its plane crash, drowning or natrual cause "My heart is slowly dried up!" and there's no way to avoid death. I just came up with this conclusion last night. I must have heard this song 500 times and never guessed it. | |

| I can understand the Zeppelin thing. Ironically my dad said the same thing. Actually though, the riff reminds me of Black Sabbath. I can't remember the exact song, but I think it's an exact copy. The song I was thinking of might have been "Paranoid". | |

| The best part about this song is that it would rock just as hard if it were slow and soft. Because Modest Mouse rocks either way. | |
