Have you seen them?
The words cut open
Your poor intestines
Can’t deny
Inky periods drip from your mailbox
Blood flies dip and glide reach down inside
(Insi-i-ide, insi-i-de)
There’s something living in these lies
And when your newest kisser was peakin'
You dress yourself out tonight
Getting tangled up in arms and legs
It’s comfortable
Someone grabs ahold of you go «Ooo-oo-oooh!»
Should you go ho-o-ome?
There’s something starting don’t know why
In a house so cozy
Few words are spoken
Let’s take our shoes off
And unwind
And there’s minuets off in the background drownin' out
Eyes off ears off test the kiss goodnight. goodni-i-ight
Don’t keep my loving on my mind
'Cause it’s messy yes this mess is mine
Well mine is mess yours is maybe nine
Look we have similar stitches
Look we have similar frowns
Do the eldery couples still
Kiss and hug and grab their big wrinkly skin so tough wrinkly
wrink-wrink-wrinkly rough?
Did you see the words you wrote?
Give me rabies, bring your babies in the hospital
Violent ends with friends that go
Kissed a few with sticky shoes, our cartoon show is broke
Did you see the words you wrote?

I don't know why, but the ending, where he's wailing, and humming, and the piano sounds like stars, always makes me tear up. it grabs a hold of my chest everytime
I know that Animal Collective gets compared to The Beach Boys a lot, but I can't help but feel like there's a Beach Boys vibe on this song. The way that Animal Collective sings and layers their vocals isn't too far off from the work of Brian Wilson, in my opinion.
I don't think I fully understand why I came back to this song, but what I do understand is that the line "there's something living in these lines" rings so true.
I just want to commutate something which I feel like everyone needs to know but at the same time I feel like everyone already knows it so what would be the point but that's when I've forgotten that the perspective I represent is so unique that there is no possible way that everyone, and for that matter anyone would ever people able to understand where I'm coming from. we are all drops in an ocean but all these drops and made from something different yet almost the same. On the basic level we are human beings but that is just base. A whole other level comes from the rest of our upbringing and how we grow is depend on so many different factors.
I guess that the message, the question, the answer and everything else boils down to: does that make sense to you because honestly I forgot what point I was making?
THERES SOMETHING LIVING IN THESE liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNES
Have you seen them?
The words cut open your poor intestines
Can't deny when the inky periods drip from your mailbox and blood flies dip and glide reach down
Inside
There's something living in these lines.
And when your newest kisser is peeking
You dress yourself up tonight get all tangled up in arms and legs it's cramped up and someone grabs a hold do you go
Ohhhhh
Should you go home?
There's something starting don't know why.
And in a house so cozy few words are spoken
Let's take our shoes off and unwind when there's minuets off in the background drowning out eyes off ears off test the kiss
Goodnight
A kiss goodnight
Don't keep my loving on my mind.
Because it's messy, yes, this mess is mine
Though mine is messy yours is maybe nine
Look we've had similar stitches
Look we have similar frowns
Do the elderly couples still kiss and hug and grab their big wrinkly skin so tough wrinkly wrink wrink wrinkly rough…?
Did you see the words you know?
(Give me rabies bring you babies at the hospital)
Violent ends with friends that go
(I kissed a few in sticky shoes our cartoon show is broken)
Doo, doo, doo, doo...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
To this day I still have no idea why this wasn't their most popular album. I mean, it's a lot more accessible than anything that came after it. Same with The National and "Alligator."
