My Peace Bone got found in a dinosaur wing
Jumped in all over the mules and slowly shrinking
Its was a jugular vein in a juggler's gown
It was supposedly leaking most interesting colors

From my fingers
Lived in the sand
Blue grass/dress and letters that you used to go get broccoli
The other side of takeout
Is mildew on rice

But my obsession with the past is like a kid fight
Few things are related to the old times
When we didn't believe in magic and we didn't die
This time the words that you should follow went you're inside

We want you inside
Because you're inside

But the monster was happy cause you made him a maze
Cause he don't understand intentions he just looks at your face
And then the bubbles exploded and tickled the bath
Oh all the birds were very curious all the fish were at the surface

Laugh at me waiting for the soul to get calm
Im like a pelican at red tide
a vision like a fisherman
I blow out, does not mean I will have a good night

chorus

Well I start in a hose and I end in a yard
And when I feel like I'm stealing my feet are so hard
The pace that you're cookin could demolish a clown
We went from castles to get to mountains and all the mountains
are in your cloud scene

What you bear in your heart
Was a new kind of sound
When you have to go to New York
To make your heads / tails mean anything
To find out that you can't ask a baby to cry


. . .


Oh look at me
That sweet boy's plea
His mother cried
"My child's tied his laces"
Why must we move on
From such happy lawns
Into nostalgia's palm
And feed on the traces

We all hop to the dance
Or embarrass the parents
Who should have knees
That go to sleep (?)

That blood in the dark
Will attract the sharks
Who are not violent
We all have hungry bellies

But I feel like I've got to duck
When you look at me with your brown eyes
When you look at me with your blue eyes
And you look at me with the inner eye

And all was tame
And all was daggers anyway
Stop crying like a child

And all was green
And all was aging anyway
Stop growing in the wild

But I feel like I've got to duck
When you look at me with your green eyes
When you look at me with your black eyes
And you look at me with your dead eyes

And I can understand
When holding her hand
So womanly
I have to go and kiss her

And what a surprise
To look in those eyes
And find suddenly
He is Jack the Ripper
Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper

Stop crying like a child
She stopped crying like a child
Jack the Ripper

If i if i think to fast
take what's in my head
i've got two things in my head's end

If i think to fast
take what's in my head
i've got two things in my head's end

now i've got these chores
and im not gonna hurt no one
and when at last my work is done...

now i've got these chores
and i'm not gonna hurt no one
and when at last my work is done..

If I x9

if i think to fast
take what's in my head
i've got two things in my head's end

If i if i think to fast
take what's in my head
i've got two things in my head's end

now i've got these chores
and im not gonna hurt no one
and when at last my work is done..

now i've got these chores
and im not gonna hurt no one
and when at last my work is done..

If I x 36

I only want the time
to do one thing that I like
i want to get so stoked
and take a walk out in the light drizzle
at the end of the day
when theres no one watching

At the end of the day
when there's no one watching

. . .


From one moment to the next
Reading in the papers to know what's best
Sometimes you don't know yourself
Eating loads of vitamins for your health
From one moment to the next
Red negativity in the street
Maybe it's the dirt, maybe it's the heat
A baby on the bus smiled at me so easy

Now I think it's allright we're together
Now I think that's a riot
Now I think it's the best you've ever played it
Now I think that's a riot
Now I think it's allright to feel inhuman
Now I think that's a riot
Now I think it's allright to sing together
Now I think that's a riot

A running child's bloody with burning knees
A kid that stabs mommy flew in the trees
A camping child's happy with winter's freeze
A lucky child don't know how lucky she is

From one moment to the next
A thousand wasted brooklyners all depressed
The ins and outs of something's chest
He'll only be a friend if he touches your breast
From one moment to the next
Shifting in the plates of what you ingest
From sugar tits to honey pests
Bulimic vegetarian wins weight contest

Now I think it's allright we're together
Now I think that's a riot
Now I think it's the best you've ever played it
Now I think that's a riot
Now I think it's allright to feel inhuman
Now I think that's a riot
Now I think it's allright to sing together
Now I think that's a riot

A running child's bloody with burning knees
A kid that stabs mommy flew in the trees
A camping child's happy with winter's freeze
A lucky child don't know how lucky he is

For Reverend Green...

now it's day i've been crying
taste the milk on my tongue
i was dreaming of horseshoes
now my cereal, it is warm

track the days in the rubble
of the night from the fall
and i can't walk in the vaccum
i feel ugly; feel my pose

but the trees of this day
cast no shadows on my stride
and i stop to scream at you
people greet me, so polite

what's the day? what you doing?
how's your mood in that song?
when it passes right by me
it's behind me, now it's gone.

and i can't lift you up, my mind is tired
sand and beaches that i desire
sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on some faces
but i know i've got you

but golden lips and allman vibe
make me feel that i'm only all i see sometimes

ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

i've been dreaming about birthin
genie made me a little earth skin
despite you bein my birth kin
pick me up and just hurl me by the river
all the people are workin
and millions of 'em churchin
when elephants can reach in our purses
meet me after the world shambles

ooo oooo ooo oo ooo ooo oooo ooo ooo oooo

what's the day? what you doing?
who's been thinking on your palm
we all dance to the shadows
while he's singing you that song

but he can't lift you up cause your mind is tired
the sand and beaches that i desire
sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on your face
but i know i've got you

but golden lips and allman vibe
make me feel that i'm only all i see sometimes

and i can't lift you up, my mind is tired
sand and beaches that i desire
sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on some faces
but i know i've got you

but golden lips and allman vibe
make me feel that i'm only all i see sometimes

Panda Bear (repeated throughout verses): I want to cry
I caught you in the eye
That disconnected trouble
Respect the hive
It seems like days since you rejected
Your mom and I
We'll hope you dance to your bad weather
Young love is fine
Just please respect
The candles as they line

Panda Bear: I won't waste a cry

I know that we'll decide
You wonder why it can't stay simple
Your mom and I
To pet your head
And dress your letters
Don't worry about why
And split your head
And sleep unmolded
Young love is blind
Just please respect the candles in a line

. . .


Mold of the fall
I have been frozen there for days
With headlights reflecting in my face
I'm iced and cold on your lawn

But inside I'm okay
I can live without your dime (?)
Where snowmen never melt
Instead they all went shy

And if you don't believe in fantasy
Then don't believe in fantasy
Do you not believe in fantasy because it gets you down?
If you don't believe it's raining
I won't tell you that it's raining
Do you not believe it's raining just because it gets you down?
And if you don't believe in happiness
Then don't believe in happiness
Don't believe in happiness, but then you might be down
If you don't believe you're crying
Then don't believe you're crying
Do you not believe you're crying just because it gets you down?

Our bones are hardwired
And we go dancing on the lake
And sleds will carry us tonight
And snowflakes will blow us on our way

They slide to the sky
Rainbow ice slide downhill
Tears are frozen lovers (?)
So we smile when we're crying

And if you don't believe in fantasy
Then don't believe in fantasy
Do you not believe in fantasy because it gets you down?
If you don't believe it's raining
I won't tell you that it's raining
Do you not believe it's raining just because it gets you down?
And if you don't believe in happiness
Then don't believe in happiness
Don't believe in happiness, but then you might be down
If you don't believe you're dying
Then don't believe you're dying
Do you not believe you're dying just because it gets you down?

How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy

The king in I died.
He kept floating past my eyes and singing his songs
life was good now death's all wrong
cause you can't feel a thing.
No heart flutters in the spring
You just drift and pray for sun kissed golden days.

I can't hold what's in my hand.
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned.
Little kids sliding down the stell park slid.
Little kids can't play with things that have died
Sometimes all I want is is one favorite song.
Two to three minuted doesn't seem that long.
Where's my mom I want to hold her tight.
She's so far away from crowded nights.
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo.
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo.

He said please stay.
You can see me, don't go away.
I can't see the landscape.
Please describe its amaranthine haze.
it's odd where I am.
There are people you're not like them.
They just drift and pray for rain quenched golden days.

My tears quench five feet of lawn
I can't creep
I just yawn
People gonna come and people gonna cry
He just woke and ate and dreamt and died.
Don't try and erase what you have done.
Put your fingers in a mouth and kiss it if it wants
Where's my friend, I want to hold him tight
he's so far away from mountain lights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo

I can't hold what's in my hand.
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned.
Little kids sliding down the stell park slid.
Little kids can't play with things that have died
Sometimes all I want is is one favorite song.
Two to three minuted doesn't seem that long.
Where's my mom I want to hold her tight.
She's so far away from crowded nights.
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo.
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo.

had a white and black ?
I don't know when we first got him
should have taken better care of him
for he added ok

sorry when I get unruly
when you carry on so much I get a little tired
hope you get over your teething
it's not easy when you feel sick

had to spritely walk you like him
when he puked up all on your side
grab your bed cast what he told us
me and michael dared each other like we were posited

derek never woke up at night
and he don't move when he's ready to go
and he never had a voice like you
to scream when he wanted something

should have been so much more willing
to have out with all the things
that I thought michael needed
