Other People's Lives Lyrics - Modest Mouse
Review The Song (1)
This is how it seems to be:
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem much more interesting
Well I’m fed up and I need to go out of existence
Or just down the road forever
Well later that night on the side of the road
I’m out of gas and I should have known better
Well a guy shows up, he’s twenty-five years old
Always thought this kid was such a mama’s boy
He said… and that’s what he said
He’d been in the army and he did some speed
He went down to Thailand and he did the deed
Oh yeah… he did it for the boys
Well the cop showed up way damn late
I was excited though I usually hate to see them
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem more innocent, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
And other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Well later that night on the side of the road
I’m out of gas and I should have known better, yeah
Well I’m fed up and I need to go out of existence
Or just down the road forever, oh yeah, yeah
Well a guy shows up, he’s twenty-five years old
Always steals his kisses, such a mama’s boy
He said… and that’s what he said
Palm tree houses are way down lane
I was excited but usually I hate to see them
(Isaac mumbling)
Open drawer, out of sight, on the road, out of road, going out
Out of gas, out of road, out of car, out of everything at last
Out, out and rent a car, and you’ve got yourself a crazy walk
I said bowlegged, or maybe your just being peg legged
Or something like that
Buh duh duh, duh duh buh duh duh, duh duh duh
Buh duh duh, duh duh buh duh duh, duh duh duh
Buh duh duh duh duh (etc)
Well later that night on the side of the road
I’m out of gas and I should have known better, oh yeah, oh yeah
The cop showed up, way damn late
I was excited but usually I hate to see him… yeah
Buh duh duh, duh duh buh duh duh, duh duh duh
Buh duh duh, duh duh buh duh duh, duh duh duh
Buh duh duh duh duh (etc)
(Isaac is mumbling)
Big car, and I should’ve promised myself
I can not go when there’s nothing better
And it’s better all alone on the side of the road
I could’ve sworn she left when I was drunk
My god now her face is gone
It goes on and on and on and on
Out of gas and nothing left
Got caught but I’m still on the gas
I said, I said, I said now I’m gonna break my pace
(Isaac is mumbling)
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem much more interesting
Well I’m fed up and I need to go out of existence
Or just down the road forever
Well later that night on the side of the road
I’m out of gas and I should have known better
Well a guy shows up, he’s twenty-five years old
Always thought this kid was such a mama’s boy

I was excited though I usually hate to see them
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem more innocent, cuz they ain’t mine
Other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
And other people’s lives seem more interesting, cuz they ain’t mine
Well later that night on the side of the road

Amazing Song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/2/2007
Beautifully poignant song about the feelings of being an individual in a world that doesn't really acknowledge the things about being human that sometimes should be acknowledged. We sit, stuck in a routine, imagining a life outside our own, but maybe we should just go out of existence, or down the road forever. I kinda wanna go with the latter.
