Of Montreal - Past Is A Grotesque Animal, The lyrics
Your rating:
The past is a grotesque animal And in it's eyes you see How completely wrong you can be..2x The sun is out It melts the snow that fell yesterday Makes you wonder Why it bothered I fell in love With the first cute girl that i met Who could appreciate Georges Bataille Standing at a Swedish festival Discussing "story of the eye"..2x It's so embarassing to need someone like i do you How can i explain? I need you here And not here too.. How can i explain I need you here And not here too I'm flunking out, i'm flunking out I'm gone, i'm just gone But at least i author my own disaster At least i author my own disaster Performance breakdown And i don't wanna hear it I'm just not available Things could be different But they're not... Things could be different But they're not The mousey girl screams "violence, violence!"...2x She gets hysterical Cause they're both so mean And it's my favorite scene The cruelty's so predictable Makes you sad on the stage Though our love project has so much potential But it's like we weren't made for this world Though i wouldn't really wanna meet someone who was Do i have to scream in your face? I've been dodging lamps and vegetables Throw it all in my face I don't care- Let's just have some fun Let's tear the shit apart Let's tear the fucking house apart Let's tear our fucking bodies apart, Let's just have some fun Somehow you've red-rovered The Gestapo circling my heart And nothing can defeat you No death, no ugly world You've lived so brightly You've altered everything I find myself Searching for old selves While speeding forward Through the plateglass of maturing cells I fed the unraveler The paw hellion But even apocolypse is fleeting There's no death, no ugly world Sometimes i wonder if you're mythologizing me Like i do you Apologizing me like i do you We want our film to be beautiful Not realistic See me in the radiance of terror dreams You can betray me You can, you can betray me Teach me something wonderful Crown my head crown my head With your lilting effects Project your fears onto me I need to view them, See there's nothing to them I promise you there's nothing to them I'm so touched by your goodness You make me feel so criminal How do you keep it together? I'm all, all unraveled But'cha know No matter where we are We're always touching by underground wires I've explored you with the detachment Of an analyst But most nights We've raided the same kingdoms And none of our secrets are physical None of our secrets, are physical None of our secrets, are physical now
