"April And The Phantom" lyrics
Avey Tare And Panda Bear Lyrics
"April And The Phantom"
When April passes by, she thinks of playing Bach
She tells her mother, "I am not afraid
Of dying in the bath, or swinging from a beam"
She asks her mother if she's slept with strangers
Phantom was a bride who'd white out all the things her mother said
And whip her to a stain
In autumn, "Goodbye, leaves," and December, "Hello, frost"
And Mother would say
"Daddy, I don't know where April went"
She ran out in nature
She ran out in nature
She ran out in nature
She ran out in nature, ah!
She ran out in nature
She ran out in nature
(She ran out in nature)
I found the Phantom, we roll across the river, we're hiding from our suffering
(She ran out in nature)
I like a chase, so please take off my dress and throw it to the suffering
(She ran out in nature) What'd she find?
(She ran out in nature) Where'd she go?
(She ran out in nature) Phantom bride
(She ran out in nature) April's home
Dad, everybody wants it!
Mom, can't you see me wasting?
She ran out in nature
She ran out in nature
(She ran out in nature)
Without a bra I let her lick around and take me from my suffering
(She ran out in nature)
Forgotten knees, I'm reaching for the stars, I'm begging, please no suffering
(She ran out in nature) What'd she find?
(She ran out in nature) Where'd she go?
(She ran out in nature) Phantom bride
(She ran out in nature) April's home
Dad, everybody wants it!
Mom, can't you see me wasting?
I finally see a baby girl
I'm sorry, April, but you'll be fine 'til then
I'm the panther, I'm the panther, I'm the panther
When I sleep around, and you're on top
A frenzy April, then we ride again
I'm the panther, I'm the panther, I'm the panther, I'm the panther
And in the end, your mother knows
I'm sorry, April, but a child grows
I'm the panther, I'm the panther, I'm the panther, I am
Watch me as I lead the way from infancy to grown-up babies
"Phantom, please put on my make-up!"
I am breathing, I'll keep calling
"Phantom, you're all white and naked!"
Have your baby, I'll keep calling
"I'm not right, I'm not faking!"
And I'm burning, and I'm shaking
"April, doll, you're disappearing!"
Now in death, the end is nearing
April and the Phantom, they were just like lovers
Always sneaking kisses for the weekend
Everything's just okay with me
Everything's just alright with
April and the Phantom spoke in secret code
Until they buried Phantom by the road
Everything's just alright with me
Everything's just alright with Phantom
Everything's just alright with me
Everything's just alright with Phantom
Everything's just alright with me
Everything's just alright with Phantom
Everything's just alright with me
Everything's just alright with Phantom
Everything's just alright with me
Everything's just alright with me
Kid has got no friends
Kid has got no friends
Kid has got no friends
Kid has got no friends at all

Daughters - "Daughter" I just thought I'd let you know
There's war in an old set of bones
When they shake
You can feel the Earth moan
There's a war
And it rips through the hills on a child's roar
Skips across the water...
The Unicorns - "Inoculate The Innocuous" Small doses, daily
Absorbed and collected in the glands of fatty tissues over time
Somewhere in the asshole of my eye
There's a muscle which relaxes when you cry
Somewhere in the eye of my brain...
Deerhunter - "Don't Cry" Come on, little boy
I am your friend
And I understand
The pain you're in
You've seen your mom come
Come home dreaming
In the rain, when you wash
You can't fade it
Come on, little boy
You don't need...
Mercury Rev - "Chasing A Bee" Those seducers, those seducers
Those seducers, those seducers
Bombed out lovers, gallant red flocks
Of mellow seducers financier seekers
Deep deef down, beautiful lines
From above and we're all...
Panda Bear - "Tomboy" Take my life
What's my life like?
What's my work like?
How do I pass time?
Open my eyes so I might see mine
So I'll be with mine
No matter what it takes
Take my life so high
Keep my life...
