I got a date with the night Burnin’ down my finger Gonna catch the kids dry Gonna walk on water Buyin’ out the fight We’re sweatin’ in the winter Both thighs squeeze tight

Choke, choke, choke, choke Choke, choke, choke, choke Choke, choke, choke, choke Choke, choke, choke, choke Don’t tell me to fix her Don’t tell me to fix her

Well, just take a bite No hangin’ no picture Flyin’ out my sight Droppin’ brides at the altar Well both thighs squeeze tight

Choke, choke, choke, choke Choke, choke, choke, choke Choke, choke, choke, choke Choke, choke, choke, choke

I’ll set you, I’ll set off I’ll set you, I’ll set off I’ll set you, I’ll set it off I’ll set you, I’ll set it off (uh-huh) I’ll set you, I’ll set it off I’ll set you, I’ll set it off I’ll set you, I’ll set it off I’ll set you, I’ll set it off (uh, uh)

Buyin’ out the fight Gon’ walk on water Gonna catch the kids dry Gonna bend my finger Well flyin’ out my sight We’re sweatin’ in the winter Well both thighs squeeze tight Both thighs squeeze tight (uh)

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Modest Mouse were the fork in the road for my music taste one summer.

    MTV of all places played Float On and Maps back to back and I was floored. Float On caught my attention, Maps knocked me on my ass.

      I went and saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and TV in the Radio play a free show after work around this time and it was great. Miss those days, but the music still works when I need it.

      Very similar here, both of them really made an impression on me that summer. I remember being an awkward teenager standing in a record shop (feeling entirely not cool enough to be there) and buying my first Modest Mouse album.

      That opening trill to Maps still makes me feel all the feels haha
