Past Is A Grotesque Animal, The - Of Montreal
He past is a grotesque animal and in it's eyes you see How completely wrong you can be bothered bataille Standing at swedish festival discussing the "story of the eye" It's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you How can I explain I need you here and not here too I'm flunking out I'm gone I'm just gone but at least I author my own disaster Performance breakdown and I don't want to hear it I'm just not available things could be different but they're not The mousy girl screams violence violence she gets hysterical Cause they're both so mean and it's my favorite scene But the cruelty's so predictable it makes you sad on the stage this world Though I wouldn't really want to 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 this shit apart Let's tear the fucking house apart Let's tear our fucking bodies apart but 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 oldselves While speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells I've played the unraveler the parhelion But even Apocalypse is fleeting There's no death no ugly world Sometimes I wonder if you're mythologizing me like I do you We want our film to be beautiful not realistic Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams And you can betray me but teach me something wonderful Crown my head crowd 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 you 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 now
