The Mountain Goats
Training Montage
[Verse 1]
Water dripping from the pipes down in the basement
Bare feet on a concrete floor
Notches on the wall of my solitary cell
Sweat dripping out of every pore

[Verse 2]
It feels like it takes forever
It's maybe five minutes on screen
But the horns will swell and the strings will sound
When that flipped quarter hits the ground

[Chorus 1]
I'm doing this for revenge
I'm doing this to try and stay true
I'm doing this for the ones they had to leave behind
I'm doing this for you

[Verse 3]
Keep cool down in the quiet of the morning
Sweat blood when the sun comes through
Thick mist on the pond before the temple
Headed down for the final rendezvous

[Verse 4]
Everybody ready for justice
Just another mile to go
But the strings will keen and the horns will cry
When it's just me against the sky
[Chorus 2]
I'm doing this for revenge
I'm doing this to try and stay true
I'm doing this for the ones they left to twist in the wind
I'm doing this for you

[Refrain]
I'm doing this for you

[Chorus 3]
I'm doing this for revenge
I am doing this to try and stay true
I'm doing this for the ones we had to leave behind
I'm doing this for you

[Refrain]
I'm doing this for you
I'm doing this for you
