"Hydroplaning Off The Edge Of The World" lyrics
"Hydroplaning Off The Edge Of The World"
I lie
To myself, I lie down on the breeze
I whisper "Hey, breeze
Where ya going?"
Does the wine or the whiskey miss me? No
At night cats get smashed in the snow, I don't mind
We are gathered here today to have a real nice time
Absent friends, where'd you go?
Fools rush in but you're the only one with guts
We are family...
I lie
To myself, I lie down on the breeze
I whisper "Hey, breeze
Where ya going?"
It said "Fuck it, I don't need it, religion and rules. I
Cross my heart and then I hope to die. I
Go to the park and then I go back home"
Fools rush in but they're the only ones with guts
We are now entering a new phase
A priest mistakes me for a priest
Mistakes me for a Houston Rocket validating snow
Insane intercourse, constant swapping
While I fall asleep inside a bass
I'm counting on my breath to make tunnels
I'm counting on my breath
A British Columbian prayer:
No matter when, no matter where
S-s-s-suffer
The last time I...
The last time I saw Georgie
It was an incredible vision
Cracked alabaster from head to toe
Just this terrible crescendo
Heading towards a conclusion
Dying for a conclusion
Dead ends on Retrospective Street
In love with every person I meet
In love with the Gun Club
Mirthless husk floating on an ocean
On the surface of the King of France
Thousand-yard stare stares at the menu and grins
From this angle, in a certain light...
All bets are off on every goddamn thing
It's all the same thing under a certain light
Women fill out, men crumble inwards
There – I didn't wanna say it but I did:
My life's a giant lid
Closing
On an eye
It's all the same thing in a certain light
It's all the same thing in a certain light
But we live in the light
It is exquisite, it goes through you
It goes through your legs...
God is famous for punishing
I burned my boats
I'm staying here in the harbour
I go nowhere
Death by illumination
I want it, I want it, I want, I want it
In the shop window, illumined like candy
I bought all these people this brandy

On a classic nitrogen afternoon
Some power that hardly looked like power
Said I'm only perfect in an empty room
Four dogs in the distance
Each stands for a kindness...
Animal Collective - "Leaf House" This house is sad
Because he's not
Inside-side-side-side
It, it, it, it
Where does he hide
When someone comes
To the, the, the, the
Front door, door, door, door?
There's no one, there's no one,...

And keeping them is harder than you might suppose

They find it all, a different story

Wilco - "At Least That's What You Said" When I sat down on the bed next to you
You started to cry
I said, maybe if I leave, you'll want me
To come back home
Or maybe all you mean, is leave me alone
At least that's what you said...
