Humbug Mountain Song Lyrics

The first time I realized I was living in this world
I was probably looking at the sky
and forgive me but I don't know if I remember enough to say
what the air was really like that day

may have been clouds
or something
I don't recall
I was young

and the next time I realized I was breathing in the life
was the first time that I saw your face
I wanted you but I don't know if I was brave enough to say how the sight of you messed up my mind
I got scared, right away, and okay, right away.

the next thing I knew the stars were eyes up in the night
and the ocean breathing heavy like a beast
I held you but I don't know if I was strong enough to say how the way it felt messed up my mind

may have been clouds
or something
I don't recall
I was young

may have been clouds
or something
I don't recall
I was young

may have been clouds
or something
I don't recall
I was young

may have been clouds
or something
I don't recall
I was young

Fruit Bats is an American rock band formed in 1997 in Chicago, Illinois. The group has had many personnel changes but revolves around songwriter Eric D. Johnson. Their albums include Echolocation (2001), Mouthfuls (2003), Spelled in Bones (2005), The Ruminant Band (2009), Tripper (2011), and Absolute Loser (2016). In 2009 Johnson also joined The Shins.

Originally part of short-lived Chicago group I Rowboat, Johnson and two of his fellow Rowboat members, guitarist Dan Strack and drummer Brian Belval, created Fruit Bats as a side-project. When I Rowboat split up, Fruit Bats became Johnson's main focus. Spurred on by Califone/Perishable Records honchos Tim Rutili and Ben Massarella, the group recorded their first album, Echolocation, released in 2001.

After tours with Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Modest Mouse and The Shins, Fruit Bats signed with Sub Pop in late summer 2002, recording their second album, 2003's Mouthfuls, which included new bandmate Gillian Lisee.

After relocating to Seattle, the group released their third album, Spelled in Bones, in 2005. Afterward, Eric D. Johnson played with The Shins and Vetiver. In 2008, the Fruit Bats began working together again, with revised membership of Johnson, Christopher Sherman, Ron Lewis, Graeme Gibson, and Sam Wagster. In 2009, they released The Ruminant Band and in 2011 came Tripper. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
