The ghosts that haunt your building have been learning how to breathe They scan the hallways nightly, vainly searching for a sign There must be diamonds somewhere in a place that stinks this bad There are brighter things than diamonds coming down the line Here they come The young thousands Here they come The young thousands Thank you John Wurster, do you like dogs? (I love dogs) The song is about a dog It's called Corsican Mastiff Stride (woof! Woof!) #theMountainGoats #TheYoungThousands #JordanLakeSessions
