Optimist vs. the Silent Alarm (When the Saints Go Marching In) Lyrics
And we tear out of the parking lot, the engine at full throttle
You mapped a route with all right turns so lights don't get us caught
We've got a mess of cash in duffel bags and every penny's hot
Well hallelujah
And we're laughing through the fear that we'll never make the clear
Oh and you've never looked so dear, it's the end of our career
And I know a dude in Madison who owes some favors to me
With the money in the backseat, baby, we could buy a house
And raise a little family on Shlitz and Mickey Mouse
Well hallelujah
And we're laughing through the fear that we'll never make the clear
Oh and you've never looked so dear, it's the end of our career
Also, I believe he sings "There's Skeletons OF cigarettes" in the first line. Makes sense to me. Anyway, great catchy tune with a joyful "Magnumesque" atmosphere.
I'm pretty sure he sings "And raise a little family on Schlitz and Mickey Mouse."
Schiltz being a semi-famous brand of cheap American beer...
Eh... Charles Schulz wrote "Peanuts"(Charlie Brown). That makes a little bit more sense in the context, don't you think?

nope. he is definitely saying "schlitz". it makes more sense in this context because schlitz is the beer that made milwaukee famous, and he's singing about wisconsin throughout the entire song.
