Timebends lyrics - Deerhunter
I feel nothing, no pride or joy
But no pain or discomfort
I'm made this way by chemical choice
It's an action for protection
And I'm this way and you're that way
I need the way, admission's never free
Until you admit to me you're lost
I was made this way, the future is ours
I'm a superman and you are my arch
I'll be this way when you are in your grave
Don't test me, I'm so dangerous
I need the way, admission's never free
Until you admit to me you're lost
I need the way, admission's never free
Until you admit to me you're lost
I feel nothing, no pride or joy
But no pain or discomfort
I'm made this way by chemical choice
It's an action for protection
And I'm this way and you're that way
I scare myself...
Death In Midsummer lyrics -Deerhunter
Come on down from that cloud
And cast your fears aside
You're all here and there
And there's nothing inside
May God's will be done
In these poisoned hills
And let the devil be cast out on his jail
Hey!
There was a voice that called me
There was a light that burned me
Come on and let's be sure
Let's not pave the way
Your friends have died
And their lives, they just fade away
Some worked the hills
Some worked in factories
Worked their lives away
And in time, you will see your own life fade away
There was no time to go back
There was no time to go back
Come on!
They were in hills
They were in factories
They are in graves now
They were in debt to themselves
And what is it made of now?
I go around and feel how it fades
I walk around and I see what's fading
Walk around and you'll see how it fades
Walk around and you'll see what's faded
And cast your fears aside
You're all here and there
And there's nothing inside
May God's will be done
In these poisoned hills
And let the devil be cast out on his jail
Hey!
There was a voice that called me
There was a light that burned me
Come on and let's be sure
Let's not pave the way
Your friends have died
And their lives, they just fade away
Some worked the hills
Some worked in factories
Worked their lives away
And in time, you will see your own life fade away
There was no time to go back
There was no time to go back
Come on!
They were in hills
They were in factories
They are in graves now
They were in debt to themselves
And what is it made of now?
I go around and feel how it fades
I walk around and I see what's fading
Walk around and you'll see how it fades
Walk around and you'll see what's faded
No One's Sleeping lyrics - Deerhunter
No one's sleeping
Great unrest
In the country
There's much duress
Violence has taken hold
Follow me
The golden void
No one's sleeping
The village green
Is nocturnal
Finally
Follow me
To golden pond
There is peace
The great beyond
Element lyrics - Deerhunter
The wind was stained
Orange clouds laid out for a toxic view
Of endless time, endless time
Let it wash over your body
The wind was stained
Orange clouds laid out for the last time
There would come a time, radar flashed
Indoors we go
And it said
"Do you go?"
(Elemental, elemental)
Completely gone
(Elemental, elemental)
Element (Elemental)
Element (Elemental)
Elemental (Elemental)
Elemental (Elemental)
Elemental (Elemental)
Elemental (Elemental)
Comes a time
Reborn until you die
Lay these plans out on the paper
They said he was gone
Never coming home
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
Cancer words
Laid out in lines
The road was wide
The road was silent
Curtain call for all those lives
Expensive lighting for that final day
Come on down
(Elemental, elemental)
Fire, wind, water
(Elemental, elemental)
There will be time to see
(Elemental, elemental)
Just watch me shocked
It's elemental how I move
It's elemental how I move
It's elemental how I move
It's elemental how I move
Orange clouds laid out for a toxic view
Of endless time, endless time
Let it wash over your body
The wind was stained
Orange clouds laid out for the last time
There would come a time, radar flashed
Indoors we go
And it said
"Do you go?"
(Elemental, elemental)
Completely gone
(Elemental, elemental)
Element (Elemental)
Element (Elemental)
Elemental (Elemental)
Elemental (Elemental)
Elemental (Elemental)
Elemental (Elemental)
Comes a time
Reborn until you die
Lay these plans out on the paper
They said he was gone
Never coming home
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
Cancer words
Laid out in lines
The road was wide
The road was silent
Curtain call for all those lives
Expensive lighting for that final day
Come on down
(Elemental, elemental)
Fire, wind, water
(Elemental, elemental)
There will be time to see
(Elemental, elemental)
Just watch me shocked
It's elemental how I move
It's elemental how I move
It's elemental how I move
It's elemental how I move
What Happens To People? lyrics - Deerhunter
What happens to people?
Their lives up in arms
What happens to people?
They quit holding on
What happens to people
And what can they do?
They're only returning
The powers of youth
What happens to people?
What happened to you?
What happens to people?
They fade out of view
I can't remember
Your face
It's lost to me
It's lost to me
Now it's ending
The wounds remain
On the page
On the page
What happens to people?
They quit holding on
What happens to people?
Their dreams turn to dark
The rust in your castle
You're trying to fill
Old lady
Let me into your rotting house
Your rotting house
Old man
Take a step back
And figure it out, out
Figure it out
Old lady
Cover your branches
Winter is coming
Beware
Old man
Oil your engine
You're rusting out
You're rusting out
What happens to people?
They quit holding on
And they're locked out
They get locked out
Locked out
They get locked out
Locked out
They get locked out
Their lives up in arms
What happens to people?
They quit holding on
What happens to people
And what can they do?
They're only returning
The powers of youth
What happens to people?
What happened to you?
What happens to people?
They fade out of view
I can't remember
Your face
It's lost to me
It's lost to me
Now it's ending
The wounds remain
On the page
On the page
What happens to people?
They quit holding on
What happens to people?
Their dreams turn to dark
The rust in your castle
You're trying to fill
Old lady
Let me into your rotting house
Your rotting house
Old man
Take a step back
And figure it out, out
Figure it out
Old lady
Cover your branches
Winter is coming
Beware
Old man
Oil your engine
You're rusting out
You're rusting out
What happens to people?
They quit holding on
And they're locked out
They get locked out
Locked out
They get locked out
Locked out
They get locked out
Détournement lyrics - Deerhunter
Good morning to Japan
And the eastern sunrise
Over these majestic cliffs
And the vultures circling
Hello to salt water and good times
And there is not much left to go
Your struggles won't be long
And there will be no sorrow on the other side
Only three freedoms and range of texts
[?], old times coming back
Hello to Europe and your gardens wet with rain
Hello to Spain
There is some form of art left
That we can imagine a world drawn piece for piece
And we can contact the higher spirits from our electronic brains
Hello to America and many lines drawn across America
Hello to California, with your mists of driftwood and rock
And giant redwoods casting shadows on the past
(Hello)
Hello Russia
Hello Australia
Eternal jet lag
And time starts to run backwards
Hello eternal return
Eternal détournement
And the eastern sunrise
Over these majestic cliffs
And the vultures circling
Hello to salt water and good times
And there is not much left to go
Your struggles won't be long
And there will be no sorrow on the other side
Only three freedoms and range of texts
[?], old times coming back
Hello to Europe and your gardens wet with rain
Hello to Spain
There is some form of art left
That we can imagine a world drawn piece for piece
And we can contact the higher spirits from our electronic brains
Hello to America and many lines drawn across America
Hello to California, with your mists of driftwood and rock
And giant redwoods casting shadows on the past
(Hello)
Hello Russia
Hello Australia
Eternal jet lag
And time starts to run backwards
Hello eternal return
Eternal détournement
Futurism lyrics - Deerhunter (feat. Tim Presley)
Your cage is what you make it
If you decorate it
It goes back faster
Goes quick, laughter
Permeates the carnage
Laying out in sunlight
At daybreak, oh
Daybreak, oh
Oh
You look cute in plastic
My existence drastic
And lake of flowers
Burning flowers
Try to make it faster
Crayons in the laughter
A screen of gel
Patient hell
Call it what you want, dear
I call it fear
And I am an expert
Laying out brick by brick
Call it what you need to
I left behind reason
Faith I take, I, faith I take, I
If you decorate it
It goes back faster
Goes quick, laughter
Permeates the carnage
Laying out in sunlight
At daybreak, oh
Daybreak, oh
Oh
You look cute in plastic
My existence drastic
And lake of flowers
Burning flowers
Try to make it faster
Crayons in the laughter
A screen of gel
Patient hell
Call it what you want, dear
I call it fear
And I am an expert
Laying out brick by brick
Call it what you need to
I left behind reason
Faith I take, I, faith I take, I
Plains lyrics - Deerhunter
I was listening to the trains
I was up all night
And something glistened in the strange
Blood diffuse light
My friend was missing
And I was ghost
I was flame, I was bright
I was listening to the trains
I was up all night
Oh, James
You've got no reason to stay
In these plains
I was racing against time
With this friend of mine
Collapsing just before
We reached the end of the line
He was lifting diamonds straight
Straight was cold, cold was black
And black was glistening
All the night the sound remained
Oh, James
You've got no reason to stay
In these plains
These plains
Are barren and hateful to rain
And what remains
Is the sound of trains
I was up all night
And something glistened in the strange
Blood diffuse light
My friend was missing
And I was ghost
I was flame, I was bright
I was listening to the trains
I was up all night
Oh, James
You've got no reason to stay
In these plains
I was racing against time
With this friend of mine
Collapsing just before
We reached the end of the line
He was lifting diamonds straight
Straight was cold, cold was black
And black was glistening
All the night the sound remained
Oh, James
You've got no reason to stay
In these plains
These plains
Are barren and hateful to rain
And what remains
Is the sound of trains
All The Same lyrics - Deerhunter
My home, anywhere expect no comforts save for air
Take it anyway I could leave or I could stay
Wouldn't matter much to me, much to me
My home, it's so cold, air-conditioned to the bone
Take me anywhere, I could see a light out there
I could see a light up these, a light up these
A light up these, a light up these
It's all the same, it's all the same, it's all the same
My friend's dad got bored, changed his sex and had no more
No more wife, no more kids, nothing left
To live with to exist, so, so, so, so
You should take your handicaps, channel them and feed them back
Till they become your strengths, hollowed out it's all the same
It's all the same, it's all the same, it's all the same
It's all the same, it's all the same, it's all the same
Take it anyway I could leave or I could stay
Wouldn't matter much to me, much to me
My home, it's so cold, air-conditioned to the bone
Take me anywhere, I could see a light out there
I could see a light up these, a light up these
A light up these, a light up these
It's all the same, it's all the same, it's all the same
My friend's dad got bored, changed his sex and had no more
No more wife, no more kids, nothing left
To live with to exist, so, so, so, so
You should take your handicaps, channel them and feed them back
Till they become your strengths, hollowed out it's all the same
It's all the same, it's all the same, it's all the same
It's all the same, it's all the same, it's all the same
Living My Life lyrics - Deerhunter
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I’m off the grid, I’m out of range
And the amber waves of grain are turning grey again
The darkened stage and the infinite waves
Distance can change fate, I'm out of range again
And I'm living my life, I'm living my life
Will you tell me when you find out how to conquer all this fear
I've been spending too much time out on the fading frontier
Will you tell me when you find out how to recover the lost years
I’ve spent all of my time chasing a fading frontier
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I’m off the grid (I'm living my life)
I’m out of range (I'm living my life)
And the amber waves of grain (I'm living my life)
Are turning grey again (I'm living my life)
The darkened stage (I'm living my life)
And the infinite waves (I'm living my life)
Distance can change fate (I'm living my life)
It's happening again (I'm living my life)
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I’m off the grid, I’m out of range
And the amber waves of grain are turning grey again
The darkened stage and the infinite waves
Distance can change fate, I'm out of range again
And I'm living my life, I'm living my life
Will you tell me when you find out how to conquer all this fear
I've been spending too much time out on the fading frontier
Will you tell me when you find out how to recover the lost years
I’ve spent all of my time chasing a fading frontier
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I’m off the grid (I'm living my life)
I’m out of range (I'm living my life)
And the amber waves of grain (I'm living my life)
Are turning grey again (I'm living my life)
The darkened stage (I'm living my life)
And the infinite waves (I'm living my life)
Distance can change fate (I'm living my life)
It's happening again (I'm living my life)
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
I'm living my life, I'm living my life
Breaker lyrics - Deerhunter
Christ
Or credit
What's the price?
What's the edit?
I'm alive
I don't credit
The source
I just drive
And then the fog rolls in
And then they're blind
My enemies
They're just trying
Trying to kill me
Breaking the waves
Again and though I try
The ocean is strong
I cannot stem the tide
Breaking the waves
Again and though I try
I can't seem to stem
The tide and though I try
I try
Try me two touch
I've got the time
And it's been too long
Since I've been
Driving all night
On the back roads winding
Under the stars
That are slowly dying
Oh no
Breaking the waves
Again and though I try
The ocean is strong
I cannot stem the tide
Breaking the waves
Again and though I try
I can't seem to stem
The tide and though I try
I try
Jack-knifed
On the side-street crossing
I'm still alive
And that's something
And when I die
There will be nothing to say
Except I tried
Not to waste another day
Trying to stem the tide
Or credit
What's the price?
What's the edit?
I'm alive
I don't credit
The source
I just drive
And then the fog rolls in
And then they're blind
My enemies
They're just trying
Trying to kill me
Breaking the waves
Again and though I try
The ocean is strong
I cannot stem the tide
Breaking the waves
Again and though I try
I can't seem to stem
The tide and though I try
I try
Try me two touch
I've got the time
And it's been too long
Since I've been
Driving all night
On the back roads winding
Under the stars
That are slowly dying
Oh no
Breaking the waves
Again and though I try
The ocean is strong
I cannot stem the tide
Breaking the waves
Again and though I try
I can't seem to stem
The tide and though I try
I try
Jack-knifed
On the side-street crossing
I'm still alive
And that's something
And when I die
There will be nothing to say
Except I tried
Not to waste another day
Trying to stem the tide
Duplex Planet lyrics - Deerhunter
I don't ever want to go
Back again to the old folks' home
I don't want to have to stay
Where they don't remember love's adjacent home
But I've seen you
You looked right through me
Those ropes can't keep you away
There's no ropes on Tuesdays
Dreaming on the way to work
Dreaming all the way across the road
Don't you see
In your head you will fall asleep
And then you won't remember me
And then you won't remember me
I'm out of memory
I'm losing shape
After the body's gone
The scent remains
And down the hall
The time's erased
You'll find they're gone
Without a trace
Back again to the old folks' home
I don't want to have to stay
Where they don't remember love's adjacent home
But I've seen you
You looked right through me
Those ropes can't keep you away
There's no ropes on Tuesdays
Dreaming on the way to work
Dreaming all the way across the road
Don't you see
In your head you will fall asleep
And then you won't remember me
And then you won't remember me
I'm out of memory
I'm losing shape
After the body's gone
The scent remains
And down the hall
The time's erased
You'll find they're gone
Without a trace
Take Care lyrics - Deerhunter
Take care
Lift the guard and you might find
Your place in that life
A place where you found hope
There’s nothing more than the fog from the dry ice burning
Corpses turning
Take care
Lift the guard you won’t be lonely
Too much longer
Too much longer…
Raise your crippled hand into the clouds and
Wave bye bye now
Wave bye bye bye
Raise your hands around and you can’t tell it’s the last thing you’ll see
Last thing you’ll play
Hopeless when you call “Hi! Hi.”
What is it you’re after? don’t just stand there
Oh…
Oh
Lift the guard and you might find
Your place in that life
A place where you found hope
There’s nothing more than the fog from the dry ice burning
Corpses turning
Take care
Lift the guard you won’t be lonely
Too much longer
Too much longer…
Raise your crippled hand into the clouds and
Wave bye bye now
Wave bye bye bye
Raise your hands around and you can’t tell it’s the last thing you’ll see
Last thing you’ll play
Hopeless when you call “Hi! Hi.”
What is it you’re after? don’t just stand there
Oh…
Oh
Leather And Wood lyrics - Deerhunter
I believe my head is on straight
I've been given this chance
To make things great
I believe I can focus
Reel in the air
I know I can
I can
I believe the sun will rise
In the east now
I believe we will find
That elusive peace now
I can't believe there is
No hope
I drove my car over the edge
The leather and the wood
Formed a ledge
I believe we can fly
I believe anything is real
I believe we can die
I believe we can live again
I've been given this chance
To make things great
I believe I can focus
Reel in the air
I know I can
I can
I believe the sun will rise
In the east now
I believe we will find
That elusive peace now
I can't believe there is
No hope
I drove my car over the edge
The leather and the wood
Formed a ledge
I believe we can fly
I believe anything is real
I believe we can die
I believe we can live again
Snakeskin lyrics - Deerhunter
I was born already nailed to the cross
I was born with a feeling, I was lost
I was born with the ability to talk
I was born with a snake-like walk
I was trippin' now on a city cloak
They were separated then with sunlight shrouds
I was born with a crippled man on my back
I was natural, I was geographic black
I was dreaming of a man with a neon back
I was dreaming of a man with a heart attack
I lost my marbles all over the pink, pink cage
I tried to find a cable that was engaged
I was lost in that home for the aged and lonely
I cried and I choked, I was sick and I was boney
I was feelin' kinda ill, I was feelin' kinda lonely
And time was erased, yes but, I was so homely
I was born with a feeling, I was lost
I was born with the ability to talk
I was born with a snake-like walk
I was trippin' now on a city cloak
They were separated then with sunlight shrouds
I was born with a crippled man on my back
I was natural, I was geographic black
I was dreaming of a man with a neon back
I was dreaming of a man with a heart attack
I lost my marbles all over the pink, pink cage
I tried to find a cable that was engaged
I was lost in that home for the aged and lonely
I cried and I choked, I was sick and I was boney
I was feelin' kinda ill, I was feelin' kinda lonely
And time was erased, yes but, I was so homely
Ad Astra lyrics - Deerhunter
Many years ago
I happened on a place
The shadows hanging low
I could make out his face
In an ancient mist
They gazed into the flame
Around a dying one
They chanted out a name
They looked up to the sky
Reciting ancient rites
The trees began to sway
Bathed in fluorescent light
The embers in their eyes
Fixed on the living dead
Motionless he rests
His skin was glowing red
"And as sure as we stand
When we call
With our four hands
For the one from above
Who will heal us
With a touch"
I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground
If I's a mole in the ground I'd root that mountain down
And I wish I was a mole in the ground
I happened on a place
The shadows hanging low
I could make out his face
In an ancient mist
They gazed into the flame
Around a dying one
They chanted out a name
They looked up to the sky
Reciting ancient rites
The trees began to sway
Bathed in fluorescent light
The embers in their eyes
Fixed on the living dead
Motionless he rests
His skin was glowing red
"And as sure as we stand
When we call
With our four hands
For the one from above
Who will heal us
With a touch"
I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground
If I's a mole in the ground I'd root that mountain down
And I wish I was a mole in the ground
Carrion lyrics - Deerhunter
Even though you're gone I still carry on
It's the same big sea, it's the same to me
To carry on, carry on I will stay strong, I will stay strong
I set you free, I set you free, now run along, now run along
In the midnight hour I will lose my power
I will dig my hole, I will become a mole
In the ground, in the ground, it's much too deep, it's much too deep
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
Everywhere I go I'm reminded
Long ago, it's so long ago
But it won't leave, please, leave me, leave me alone, I am along
Deep in the ground, looking around trying to find my home, trying to find a home
But I dug too deep, I dug too deep, I cannot see, I cannot see
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
Even though you're gone I still carry on
It's the same big sea, it's the same to me
It's the same big sea, it's the same to me
To carry on, carry on I will stay strong, I will stay strong
I set you free, I set you free, now run along, now run along
In the midnight hour I will lose my power
I will dig my hole, I will become a mole
In the ground, in the ground, it's much too deep, it's much too deep
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
Everywhere I go I'm reminded
Long ago, it's so long ago
But it won't leave, please, leave me, leave me alone, I am along
Deep in the ground, looking around trying to find my home, trying to find a home
But I dug too deep, I dug too deep, I cannot see, I cannot see
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
Even though you're gone I still carry on
It's the same big sea, it's the same to me
Neon Junkyard lyrics - Deerhunter
Finding the fluorescence in the junk
By night illuminates the day
Finding ancient language in the blood
Fading a little more each day
And if you've got a lot of pain
You remember how to speak
And if you gather all the rain
Yeah it's still coming down in sheets
Neon rust puts color in the blood
Call upon the words to speak
Everything is the same as it was
But now there's nothing left to change
And if you gather it you won't
Be drowned by rain
And if you memorize the words
They will show you the way
By night illuminates the day
Finding ancient language in the blood
Fading a little more each day
And if you've got a lot of pain
You remember how to speak
And if you gather all the rain
Yeah it's still coming down in sheets
Neon rust puts color in the blood
Call upon the words to speak
Everything is the same as it was
But now there's nothing left to change
And if you gather it you won't
Be drowned by rain
And if you memorize the words
They will show you the way
Leather Jacket II lyrics - Deerhunter
Well I was sick and dangerous
I am the queen of bass
And I was suffering
But I was a regular
Bored to death
Then I was luck I was arrested
I would make an arrest
I threw the blood spots
Across the moon
I was just bones
Yeah I barely tried
They always cut my head off
My life in blood
If you come on back
Maybe I'd scream
I'd take one last shot
But my one and only
Left me here to die
I was a goldmine
I was cult
I was too kind
I was too kind
I was a goldmine
I am the queen of bass
And I was suffering
But I was a regular
Bored to death
Then I was luck I was arrested
I would make an arrest
I threw the blood spots
Across the moon
I was just bones
Yeah I barely tried
They always cut my head off
My life in blood
If you come on back
Maybe I'd scream
I'd take one last shot
But my one and only
Left me here to die
I was a goldmine
I was cult
I was too kind
I was too kind
I was a goldmine
The Missing lyrics Deerhunter
Open up my thoughts
tell me if you see
some meaning.
Take me all apart.
So that I can see
the pieces.
And I could walk for miles.
And on every street
is the same scene.
Follow the telephone wires
until I feel this air beneath me.
Oh and if you don't mind,
would you show to me
the missing?
With my weak eyes
I would only see
the missing.
Open up my thoughts
Tell me if you see some meaning.
Take me all apart,
So that I can see the bleeding.
Oh if you don't mind,
could you show to me
the missing?
With my weak eyes
I would only see
the missing.
The missing.
The missing.
The missing.
The missing.
The missing.
And I would understand
(I could understand)
if you show to me
the missing.
And I could understand
(I could understand)
if you showed to me
the missing.
And I would understand
(I could understand)
if you show to me
the missing.
tell me if you see
some meaning.
Take me all apart.
So that I can see
the pieces.
And I could walk for miles.
And on every street
is the same scene.
Follow the telephone wires
until I feel this air beneath me.
Oh and if you don't mind,
would you show to me
the missing?
With my weak eyes
I would only see
the missing.
Open up my thoughts
Tell me if you see some meaning.
Take me all apart,
So that I can see the bleeding.
Oh if you don't mind,
could you show to me
the missing?
With my weak eyes
I would only see
the missing.
The missing.
The missing.
The missing.
The missing.
The missing.
And I would understand
(I could understand)
if you show to me
the missing.
And I could understand
(I could understand)
if you showed to me
the missing.
And I would understand
(I could understand)
if you show to me
the missing.
Pensacola lyrics - Deerhunter
Take me on a trip, man
I'll never get sick
Take wherever you go
and I won't complain along the way
Well I've been waiting so long
to say bye! bye! bye!
This town ain't give me nothing but
bald head and trouble
Well if it can't be better,
if it can't be tried
Doesn't matter much boy
and I will dry me eyes
I could be your boyfriend
or I could be your shame
'Till I see your eyes and
they're filled with pain
I came from the delta down to the bay
well I came from the delta right through plains
right through the plains
I came from the delta
down to the plains
when I got back home
there was nothing I'd arranged
the woman that I love had
took another man
well nothing ever ends up
quite like what you planned
Take me to the Central station
and I'll jump on board of that bus the long way
Time to take my trip
give me that ticket man
straight to Pensacola
Straight to Pensacola, straight to Pensacola straight to Pensacola...
I'll never get sick
Take wherever you go
and I won't complain along the way
Well I've been waiting so long
to say bye! bye! bye!
This town ain't give me nothing but
bald head and trouble
Well if it can't be better,
if it can't be tried
Doesn't matter much boy
and I will dry me eyes
I could be your boyfriend
or I could be your shame
'Till I see your eyes and
they're filled with pain
I came from the delta down to the bay
well I came from the delta right through plains
right through the plains
I came from the delta
down to the plains
when I got back home
there was nothing I'd arranged
the woman that I love had
took another man
well nothing ever ends up
quite like what you planned
Take me to the Central station
and I'll jump on board of that bus the long way
Time to take my trip
give me that ticket man
straight to Pensacola
Straight to Pensacola, straight to Pensacola straight to Pensacola...
Dream Captain lyrics - Deerhunter
Dream captain take me on your ship
I've been feeling like I'm goona be sick
I've been landlocked for too many weeks
I've been feeling like I'm weak, yeah
I'm a poor boy from a poor family
There's nobody left to take care of me, so
Dream captain take me on your ship
Dream captain take me if you wish
I'll do anything that you need
There's nothing that's left of me
I'm a poor boy from a poor family
I can see where I come from easily
I don't need anybody to tell me what I'm worth
I've already been giving up from my birth
Could you be, for me, what I see in you
Or would you give me wings so I could fly, fly, or sink and die please!
Dream captain take me on your ship
If you feel that I am fit
To belong in the company grip
I want to be on the company ship
I'm a poor boy from a poor family
I ain't got nobody left to take care of me
I can't feel any of my extremities
They're going numb
and I don't know how long I can breathe
Dream captain take me on your ship
It's my only, my only wish
I can do whatever you command
I'm a boy, man
and you're a man, man
I'm a poor boy from a poor family
I ain't got nobody left to take care of me
I'm a poor boy, I'm so dirty
I'm a poor boy, well look into my eyes, look into my eyes...
I've been feeling like I'm goona be sick
I've been landlocked for too many weeks
I've been feeling like I'm weak, yeah
I'm a poor boy from a poor family
There's nobody left to take care of me, so
Dream captain take me on your ship
Dream captain take me if you wish
I'll do anything that you need
There's nothing that's left of me
I'm a poor boy from a poor family
I can see where I come from easily
I don't need anybody to tell me what I'm worth
I've already been giving up from my birth
Could you be, for me, what I see in you
Or would you give me wings so I could fly, fly, or sink and die please!
Dream captain take me on your ship
If you feel that I am fit
To belong in the company grip
I want to be on the company ship

I'm a poor boy from a poor family
I ain't got nobody left to take care of me
I'm a poor boy, I'm so dirty
I'm a poor boy, well look into my eyes, look into my eyes...
Blue Agent lyrics - Deerhunter
When your range is off
When you call that complete
Your finished task was a burden
I'll give you that to concede
If you wear a mask
If you wear a badge
If you're lost in the curtains of time
You'll be erased
Sleep tight, gold night
Protect my brain
I was bright, I was right
All the time
If you ever need to talk
I won't be around
If you ever need to fight for life
I'll make no sound
I completed your task
It was much too tough
Your burdens now were twice removed
It must be rough
I use my golden light to find a way
Your bones they were always, they were always in my way
The fire finds a way to completely erase
I followed you out
You threw up and you complained
And I bide my time, and I hide my glory away
In the basement room where you used to kneel and pray
If you need a friend now
Better look some place else
You burned this bridge long ago
Here's to your health
I'm a blue light, I'm a crippled coward
Shining out in the night
The sky is clearer now that I'm filled with fright
When you call that complete
Your finished task was a burden
I'll give you that to concede
If you wear a mask
If you wear a badge
If you're lost in the curtains of time
You'll be erased
Sleep tight, gold night
Protect my brain
I was bright, I was right
All the time
If you ever need to talk
I won't be around
If you ever need to fight for life
I'll make no sound
I completed your task
It was much too tough
Your burdens now were twice removed
It must be rough
I use my golden light to find a way
Your bones they were always, they were always in my way
The fire finds a way to completely erase
I followed you out
You threw up and you complained
And I bide my time, and I hide my glory away
In the basement room where you used to kneel and pray
If you need a friend now
Better look some place else
You burned this bridge long ago
Here's to your health
I'm a blue light, I'm a crippled coward
Shining out in the night
The sky is clearer now that I'm filled with fright
T.H.M. lyrics - Deerhunter
I tried to keep him straight
Ever since the day he was born
He came out a little late
Maybe that's where frustration's born
My head was like a wound
When they called me and said
"it's happened much too soon"
Took two bullets to the brain
My kid brother, he was insane
Was insane
When you find a way
Call and tell me when the time's erased
I had no cause to be awake
The phone rang, it was 3am
Oh it was T.H.M.
Where is T.H.M?
Ever since I was born
I have felt so forlorn
I always knew this day would come
Hey you lose and you win some
T.H.M.
T.H.M.
T.H.M.
T.H.M.
Ever since the day he was born
He came out a little late
Maybe that's where frustration's born
My head was like a wound
When they called me and said
"it's happened much too soon"
Took two bullets to the brain
My kid brother, he was insane
Was insane
When you find a way
Call and tell me when the time's erased
I had no cause to be awake
The phone rang, it was 3am
Oh it was T.H.M.
Where is T.H.M?
Ever since I was born
I have felt so forlorn
I always knew this day would come
Hey you lose and you win some
T.H.M.
T.H.M.
T.H.M.
T.H.M.
Sleepwalking lyrics - Deerhunter
I'm not mad about anything
You forced on me a hopeless dream
I'd been looking for one true thing
Too numb to see I'd been sleepwalking
Too horrified to see
When a decade doesn't get you down
You're flying now but you'll come back down
And with both your feet on the ground
You'll look around, yeah, you'll look around
Too horrified to see
I'd been looking for some harmonies
Some words to sing that could really bring
The lonely-hearted some company
All the people that were just like me, yeah
When a decade is spent searching
For something time will never bring
Something starts to shut down inside
My body and my tired mind
Too horrified to see
Can't you see
Your heart is hard now
Your heart is hard now
Can't you see
We've grown apart now
We've grown apart now
You forced on me a hopeless dream
I'd been looking for one true thing
Too numb to see I'd been sleepwalking
Too horrified to see
When a decade doesn't get you down
You're flying now but you'll come back down
And with both your feet on the ground
You'll look around, yeah, you'll look around
Too horrified to see
I'd been looking for some harmonies
Some words to sing that could really bring
The lonely-hearted some company
All the people that were just like me, yeah
When a decade is spent searching
For something time will never bring
Something starts to shut down inside
My body and my tired mind
Too horrified to see
Can't you see
Your heart is hard now
Your heart is hard now
Can't you see
We've grown apart now
We've grown apart now
Back To The Middle lyrics - Deerhunter
Back to the middle
This is where love has left me
It's an endless cycle
Please don't take it away from me
Look at me
Your hair is falling out now
Your two by four
You left me doubting
Back in the middle
Everyone knows your name now
It's all accidental
Your love is such a sick, sick game
How could he?
The basic way you used me
Why does it have to be so brutal?
Back in the middle
Take me where I can see some stars
Take me to your cabin
Like you promised so many times
You and me
You broke free
You broke me
And you left me these little pieces
This is where love has left me
It's an endless cycle
Please don't take it away from me
Look at me
Your hair is falling out now
Your two by four
You left me doubting
Back in the middle
Everyone knows your name now
It's all accidental
Your love is such a sick, sick game
How could he?
The basic way you used me
Why does it have to be so brutal?
Back in the middle
Take me where I can see some stars
Take me to your cabin
Like you promised so many times
You and me
You broke free
You broke me
And you left me these little pieces
Monomania lyrics - Deerhunter
My only boy couldn't leave his lady well
Come on boy let me tell you that
If you wanna be with me
I can be your home away
Come on god hear my sick prayer
If you can't send me an angel
If you can't send me an angel
Send me something else instead
Send my heart to the sea
Oh the empty sea
Well there's a light in the core
And there's nothing left no more
No more no
If you can't choose me
If you can't see
Well there's a light in my heart
And it' won't be there tomorrow
There is a man
There is a mystery whore
And in my dying days
I can never be sure
Well never mind
And then they take me away
And then they take you away
They'll never take me away
And in my mind
There is something rotting dead
I can't compete with her
Let me be released from this
Mono-monomania
Come on boy let me tell you that
If you wanna be with me
I can be your home away
Come on god hear my sick prayer
If you can't send me an angel
If you can't send me an angel
Send me something else instead
Send my heart to the sea
Oh the empty sea
Well there's a light in the core
And there's nothing left no more
No more no
If you can't choose me
If you can't see
Well there's a light in my heart
And it' won't be there tomorrow
There is a man
There is a mystery whore
And in my dying days
I can never be sure
Well never mind
And then they take me away
And then they take you away
They'll never take me away
And in my mind
There is something rotting dead
I can't compete with her
Let me be released from this
Mono-monomania
Nitebike lyrics - Deerhunter
I was spinning my big wheels
They were stuck and I was stuck to them
The night was clear
and I was queer
And I was only of age one year
I was on the cusp of a breakthrough
When they took me out
and stuck it in
It went so deep, man
it leaves scars you relate to
Are only burdens to me
I was a dream, a dream, a dream of my self
I was no longer in good health
Have you ever been here?
Or someplace else you can relate to
Out of fear,
out of trials and error
I was no longer mine
I had pantomimed
I had felt for lights
I had grown to find
I had no place in mind
When I began to drive
No destination
No destination
You can feel my pain?
You want to relate,
you want to stay
I was feeling real bad
And I had found all my problems
I had found all my problems
They came flying up to me
They were stuck and I was stuck to them
The night was clear
and I was queer
And I was only of age one year
I was on the cusp of a breakthrough
When they took me out
and stuck it in
It went so deep, man
it leaves scars you relate to
Are only burdens to me
I was a dream, a dream, a dream of my self
I was no longer in good health
Have you ever been here?
Or someplace else you can relate to
Out of fear,
out of trials and error
I was no longer mine
I had pantomimed
I had felt for lights
I had grown to find
I had no place in mind
When I began to drive
No destination
No destination
You can feel my pain?
You want to relate,
you want to stay
I was feeling real bad
And I had found all my problems
I had found all my problems
They came flying up to me
Punk (La Vie Antérieure) lyrics - Deerhunter
For a month I was punk
I remembered all my drunk
Younger days in a daze
I would spend my empty days
For a week I was weak
I was humbled on my knees
Pray to God: "Make it stop
Help me find some relief"
For a year I was queer
I had conquered all my fears
Not alone anymore
But I found it such a bore
For a month I was punk
For a month I had no luck
For a drunk I was young
For a kid right to the
For a month I was punk
I remembered all my junk
Younger days in a daze
I would spend my useless days
For a week I was weak
I was down on my knees
Pray to God: "Make it stop
Help me find some relief"
For a month I was punk
For a month I was
I remembered all my drunk
Younger days in a daze
I would spend my empty days
For a week I was weak
I was humbled on my knees
Pray to God: "Make it stop
Help me find some relief"
For a year I was queer
I had conquered all my fears
Not alone anymore
But I found it such a bore
For a month I was punk
For a month I had no luck
For a drunk I was young
For a kid right to the
For a month I was punk
I remembered all my junk
Younger days in a daze
I would spend my useless days
For a week I was weak
I was down on my knees
Pray to God: "Make it stop
Help me find some relief"
For a month I was punk
For a month I was
Earthquake lyrics - Deerhunter
Do you recall
Waking up on
A dirty couch
In the gray fog?
And the gray dog
Barking down the street?
Columns shake your feet
Beneath your feet
Beneath your feet
Beneath your feet
Do you recall?
Your face was white as all
Do you bone the sheets?
Do you think of me?
Your long lost friend from the sea
How long was heat?
How long was he?
How long was he?
How long was he?
How long was heat?
How long was he?
Waking up on
A dirty couch
In the gray fog?
And the gray dog
Barking down the street?
Columns shake your feet
Beneath your feet
Beneath your feet
Beneath your feet
Do you recall?
Your face was white as all
Do you bone the sheets?
Do you think of me?
Your long lost friend from the sea
How long was heat?
How long was he?
How long was he?
How long was he?
How long was heat?
How long was he?
Don't Cry lyrics - Deerhunter
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 to cry
You don't need to cry your eyes out, cry your eyes out
Come on, kid
Keep your head up and sigh
You don't need to understand
The reasons why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh
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 to cry
You don't need to cry your eyes out, cry your eyes out
Come on, kid
Keep your head up and sigh
You don't need to understand
The reasons why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh
Revival lyrics - Deerhunter
I am saved, I'm saved
And, oh, would you believe it?
On the third day
I felt his presence near me
I know they won't believe me, but
I've got favorite memories
I am saved, I'm saved
And, oh, could you believe it?
You won't regret
If you choose to believe it
Freedom, silence, always, yeah
All these darkened hallways
Darkness always
It doesn't make much sense
Darkened hallways
Away from me, calling: "Stay"
And, oh, would you believe it?
On the third day
I felt his presence near me
I know they won't believe me, but
I've got favorite memories
I am saved, I'm saved
And, oh, could you believe it?
You won't regret
If you choose to believe it
Freedom, silence, always, yeah
All these darkened hallways
Darkness always
It doesn't make much sense
Darkened hallways
Away from me, calling: "Stay"
Sailing lyrics - Deerhunter
Wind in my sails
I lived for days
No water, no food
It was good
I didn't mind, no
Nowhere to be
Nothing to see
Except me
Only fear
Can make you feel lonely out here
You learn to accept
Whatever you can get
When there is no law
You've done nothing wrong
You can't take too long
Making up songs
Only fear
Can make you feel lonely out here
You learn to accept
Whatever you can get
Whatever you can get
Only fear
Can make you feel lonely out here
You learn to accept
Whatever you can get
Whatever you can get
I lived for days
No water, no food
It was good
I didn't mind, no
Nowhere to be
Nothing to see
Except me
Only fear
Can make you feel lonely out here
You learn to accept
Whatever you can get
When there is no law
You've done nothing wrong
You can't take too long
Making up songs
Only fear
Can make you feel lonely out here
You learn to accept
Whatever you can get
Whatever you can get
Only fear
Can make you feel lonely out here
You learn to accept
Whatever you can get
Whatever you can get
Memory Boy lyrics - Deerhunter
Did you stick with me?
Let me jog my memory
I see you leaving
Oh, don't forget your TV
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
That October
he came over every day
The smell of loose-leaf
joints on jeans and we would play
"It's not a house anymore."
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
Try to recognize your son
In your eyes he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Is there anyone who
Wants to see the sun go down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Let me jog my memory
I see you leaving
Oh, don't forget your TV
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
That October
he came over every day
The smell of loose-leaf
joints on jeans and we would play
"It's not a house anymore."
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
It's not a house anymore
Try to recognize your son
In your eyes he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Is there anyone who
Wants to see the sun go down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Desire Lines lyrics - Deerhunter
When you were young
And your excitement showed
But as time goes by is it outgrown?
Is that the way things go?
Forever reaching for the gold?
Forever fading black and comes up cold
Walking free, wooh
Come with me, wooh
Far away, wooh
Every day, wooh
Walking free, wooh
Come with me, wooh
Far away, wooh
Every day, wooh
When you were young
You never knew which way you'd go
What was once grace now undertows
Well, every day do what you can
And if you let them turn you 'round
Whatever goes up must come down
Walking free, wooh
Come with me, wooh
Far away, wooh
Every day, wooh
Walking free, wooh
Come with me, wooh
Far away, wooh
Every day, wooh
And your excitement showed
But as time goes by is it outgrown?
Is that the way things go?
Forever reaching for the gold?
Forever fading black and comes up cold
Walking free, wooh
Come with me, wooh
Far away, wooh
Every day, wooh
Walking free, wooh
Come with me, wooh
Far away, wooh
Every day, wooh
When you were young
You never knew which way you'd go
What was once grace now undertows
Well, every day do what you can
And if you let them turn you 'round
Whatever goes up must come down
Walking free, wooh
Come with me, wooh
Far away, wooh
Every day, wooh
Walking free, wooh
Come with me, wooh
Far away, wooh
Every day, wooh
Basement Scene lyrics - Deerhunter
Dream, a little dream
All about the basement scene
I don't wanna wake up, I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up, no
If you've seen the light turn gold
Come out tonight and we'll get stoned
I don't wanna get old, I don't wanna get old
I don't wanna get old, no
Dream, a little dream
About your friends and their endings
Now I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up
I wanna wake up now
It could be the death of me
Knowing that my friends will not remember me
I wanna get old, I wanna get old
I wanna get old
In the bluffs they know my name
In the bluffs they know
In the bluffs they know my name
In the bluffs they know
In the bluffs they know my name
In the bluffs they know
In the bluffs they know my name
In the bluffs they know
Oh, shit
All about the basement scene
I don't wanna wake up, I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up, no
If you've seen the light turn gold
Come out tonight and we'll get stoned
I don't wanna get old, I don't wanna get old
I don't wanna get old, no
Dream, a little dream
About your friends and their endings
Now I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up
I wanna wake up now
It could be the death of me
Knowing that my friends will not remember me
I wanna get old, I wanna get old
I wanna get old
In the bluffs they know my name
In the bluffs they know
In the bluffs they know my name
In the bluffs they know
In the bluffs they know my name
In the bluffs they know
In the bluffs they know my name
In the bluffs they know
Oh, shit
Helicopter lyrics - Deerhunter
Take my hand and pray with me
My final days in company
The devil now has come for me
And helicopters circling the scene
And I pray for rest
Could you pray for us?
We know he loves you the best
We know he loves you the best
The light's inside my cave
I'm tired of my cave
Oh, these drugs they play
On me in these terrible ways
They don't pay like they used to pay
I used to make it day to day
No one cares for me
I keep no company
I have minimal needs
And now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
My final days in company
The devil now has come for me
And helicopters circling the scene
And I pray for rest
Could you pray for us?
We know he loves you the best
We know he loves you the best
The light's inside my cave
I'm tired of my cave
Oh, these drugs they play
On me in these terrible ways
They don't pay like they used to pay
I used to make it day to day
No one cares for me
I keep no company
I have minimal needs
And now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Fountain Stairs lyrics - Deerhunter
I forgot my book
At the fountain stairs
At a chapter on symmetry
Nobody cares
And I had a smoke
While I traced the squares
Put my finger to concrete
Felt the autumn air
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
Sun on my shirt
Sweat on my hands
All falling in retrograde
Cancel all my plans
And I had to look
At the marching band
Skip across the pavement
Nobody's there
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
At the fountain stairs
At a chapter on symmetry
Nobody cares
And I had a smoke
While I traced the squares
Put my finger to concrete
Felt the autumn air
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
Sun on my shirt
Sweat on my hands
All falling in retrograde
Cancel all my plans
And I had to look
At the marching band
Skip across the pavement
Nobody's there
When I look around
I can feel it spinning
Feet on the ground
Head on the ceiling
Coronado lyrics - Deerhunter
I was sick, I was dead
Lay my head on the cement bed, I had a
A few good years
But they don't know
Come on now, don't leave me hanging
Cuz I wanna get down or I
I'll start believing
What they said
In my heart I don't believe it
And if I go ahead I know that you're leaving and I
I can't wait to see you go
I can't wait to see you go
In my heart I feel so high
I wanna know the answers why
I ask so many questions, they let me go
They hang up the telephone
And if I die before I wake
I know that it must frustrate
Some people that need a paycheck
Well, they need their blood let
Lay my head on the cement bed, I had a
A few good years
But they don't know
Come on now, don't leave me hanging
Cuz I wanna get down or I
I'll start believing
What they said
In my heart I don't believe it
And if I go ahead I know that you're leaving and I
I can't wait to see you go
I can't wait to see you go
In my heart I feel so high
I wanna know the answers why
I ask so many questions, they let me go
They hang up the telephone
And if I die before I wake
I know that it must frustrate
Some people that need a paycheck
Well, they need their blood let
He Would Have Laughed lyrics - Deerhunter
Only bored as I get older
Find the ways to cult, cult of time
Only bored as I get older
Find new ways to spend my time
I'm a gold digging man
Find my money, find my land
I'm a gold, gold digging man
I won't rest 'til I buy your land
Sweetness comes suffering
In sweetness comes suffering
I won't rest till I can't breathe
I can't breathe with you looking at me
I get bored as I get older
Can you help me figure this out?
Come on, dream on
"I lived on a table
I don't know where to go
I know my friends would
I know where my friends are now
I lived on a farm, yeah
I never lived on a farm
Where did my friends go?
Where did my friends go?"
What do you do when you're sleeping?
Where did you go when you said:
"I don't need nobody on my bond"
"I don't need nobody on my bond"
Where do your friends go?
Where do they see you?
What did you want to be?
Ah, shut the hell, shut your mouth
Find the ways to cult, cult of time
Only bored as I get older
Find new ways to spend my time
I'm a gold digging man
Find my money, find my land
I'm a gold, gold digging man
I won't rest 'til I buy your land
Sweetness comes suffering
In sweetness comes suffering
I won't rest till I can't breathe
I can't breathe with you looking at me
I get bored as I get older
Can you help me figure this out?
Come on, dream on
"I lived on a table
I don't know where to go
I know my friends would
I know where my friends are now
I lived on a farm, yeah
I never lived on a farm
Where did my friends go?
Where did my friends go?"
What do you do when you're sleeping?
Where did you go when you said:
"I don't need nobody on my bond"
"I don't need nobody on my bond"
Where do your friends go?
Where do they see you?
What did you want to be?
Ah, shut the hell, shut your mouth
Rainwater Cassette Exchange lyrics - Deerhunter
Two weeks of misery
Capture my heart and destroy me
Destroy my mind and my body
Invade like a disease and conquer me
My wild exchange could not believe
I know I can't stop breathing
I've seen the light I want to see
I hold the hand that beckoned me
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Oh yes, my son, I did the first time
Oh yes, my son, I did before I died
And now it does me no good here on the other side
I know my ways when other phase
A cold embrace, then all is waste
'Til I can find a new escape
Reborn again in some other place
Capture my heart and destroy me
Destroy my mind and my body
Invade like a disease and conquer me
My wild exchange could not believe
I know I can't stop breathing
I've seen the light I want to see
I hold the hand that beckoned me
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Oh yes, my son, I did the first time
Oh yes, my son, I did before I died
And now it does me no good here on the other side
I know my ways when other phase
A cold embrace, then all is waste
'Til I can find a new escape
Reborn again in some other place
Disappearing Ink lyrics - Deerhunter
I got a message
Can you guess what it said?
Drive alone
Drive straight home
I did as instructed
Closed my door and locked it
Disappearing ink
But the words still sting
Sat and wrote a letter
I described the weather
And the scene
Remembering
I forget tomorrow
All sickness and sorrow
Disappearing ink
But the words still sting
What was I thinking?
What was I thinking?
Can you guess what it said?
Drive alone
Drive straight home
I did as instructed
Closed my door and locked it
Disappearing ink
But the words still sting
Sat and wrote a letter
I described the weather
And the scene
Remembering
I forget tomorrow
All sickness and sorrow
Disappearing ink
But the words still sting
What was I thinking?
What was I thinking?
Famous Last Words lyrics - Deerhunter
Ollie off the sidewalk
Watch your brother bleeding
Take him by the hand and
Lead him to the slipstream
Famous last words
Famous last words
Famous last words
Famous last words
Bring you to the vortex
Watch your skin erupting
Nothing can be said now
Nothing can be changed, oh
Famous last words
Famous last words
Famous last words
Famous last words
Watch your brother bleeding
Take him by the hand and
Lead him to the slipstream
Famous last words
Famous last words
Famous last words
Famous last words
Bring you to the vortex
Watch your skin erupting
Nothing can be said now
Nothing can be changed, oh
Famous last words
Famous last words
Famous last words
Famous last words
Game Of Diamonds lyrics -Deerhunter
No one ever talked to me
Now I've forgotten how to speak
A problem with my chemistry
Now I can't sleep and I won't eat
As soft as a strangers hand
I counted every grain of sand
I walked every inch of land, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
No one ever walked with me
I got so tired on my feet
I lay drunk on the bowery
Time never meant much to me
As soft as a strangers hand
I counted every grain of sand
I walked every inch of land, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
Now I've forgotten how to speak
A problem with my chemistry
Now I can't sleep and I won't eat
As soft as a strangers hand
I counted every grain of sand
I walked every inch of land, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
No one ever walked with me
I got so tired on my feet
I lay drunk on the bowery
Time never meant much to me
As soft as a strangers hand
I counted every grain of sand
I walked every inch of land, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
So strong, I know
Circulation lyrics - Deerhunter
Bad circulation
Become impatient
Too long we've waited
For an end for me
Shame on your doctors
Oh, how they fooled us
Oh, how they lured us
Into their trucks, oh
Cold cave in winter
Ice swings would splinter
Ashes and cinder
Caressed and [?]
Done with the highlights
Mirror wives and low lives
And reach for my light
When it gets dark
Become impatient
Too long we've waited
For an end for me
Shame on your doctors
Oh, how they fooled us
Oh, how they lured us
Into their trucks, oh
Cold cave in winter
Ice swings would splinter
Ashes and cinder
Caressed and [?]
Done with the highlights
Mirror wives and low lives
And reach for my light
When it gets dark
Backspace Century lyrics - Deerhunter
Send my regards
To those who suffer endlessly
Send my regards
To those who suffer hopelessly
To those who suffer endlessly
Send my regards
To those who suffer hopelessly

Vox Humana lyrics - Deerhunter
I haunted a basketmaker's shop
Spending days ripping pictures from magazines
Taping them to the walls of my prison
I remember walking by the sand
Each knob represented a different frequency range
And I remember holding the hand of the skeleton prince
And he swept me into his arms
And he, he had tremolo deep
In the back of his black eye sockets
And he said, "Do you want to come away with me
Into the pitch black pool?"
And I said, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know"
Photocopied, the wind ripped through the trees
And all the stained-glass windows rattled
I haunted a basketmaker's shop in 1927
And on the beach in the summer there were thunderstorms constantly
And they were unpredictable
Nobody knew when they would come and nobody knew how long they'd last
Sometimes they'd only last five minutes and sometimes weeks
I haunted a basketmaker's shop
Because I had nowhere to go one long weekend
Stained-glass windows turning off and on
And the tremolo in the back dark corners
Cobwebs stripped, mildewed
I remember acoustic guitars and bells
I remember the cathedral
I remember cassettes, cathedral
I remember cassette, cathedral
I remember cassette, cathedral
Spending days ripping pictures from magazines
Taping them to the walls of my prison
I remember walking by the sand
Each knob represented a different frequency range
And I remember holding the hand of the skeleton prince
And he swept me into his arms
And he, he had tremolo deep
In the back of his black eye sockets
And he said, "Do you want to come away with me
Into the pitch black pool?"
And I said, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know"
Photocopied, the wind ripped through the trees
And all the stained-glass windows rattled
I haunted a basketmaker's shop in 1927
And on the beach in the summer there were thunderstorms constantly
And they were unpredictable
Nobody knew when they would come and nobody knew how long they'd last
Sometimes they'd only last five minutes and sometimes weeks
I haunted a basketmaker's shop
Because I had nowhere to go one long weekend
Stained-glass windows turning off and on
And the tremolo in the back dark corners
Cobwebs stripped, mildewed
I remember acoustic guitars and bells
I remember the cathedral
I remember cassettes, cathedral
I remember cassette, cathedral
I remember cassette, cathedral
VHS Dream lyrics - Deerhunter
I've looked
I've seen, I've seen
I've looked
I will always see, I've seen
For the miracles
Of youth
I've looked
I will always see, I've seen
When friends go
Away for a while
They always
Come back
But now if friends
Go away for a while
Then they
Never come back
I've seen, I've seen
I've looked
I will always see, I've seen
For the miracles
Of youth
I've looked
I will always see, I've seen
When friends go
Away for a while
They always
Come back
But now if friends
Go away for a while
Then they
Never come back
Calvary Scars II / Aux Out lyrics - Deerhunter
Crucified on a cross
In front of all my closest friends
Crucified on a cross
In front of all my closest
Crucified on cross revealed
With finest wood and rope so thick
My arms, my wrists would bleed for weeks
My arms, my wrists would bleed for
Crucified on a cross
In front of all my closest friends
Crucified with backstage pass
Crucified on drum throne
In front of all my closest friends
Crucified on a cross
In front of all my closest
Crucified on cross revealed
With finest wood and rope so thick
My arms, my wrists would bleed for weeks
My arms, my wrists would bleed for
Crucified on a cross
In front of all my closest friends
Crucified with backstage pass
Crucified on drum throne
Agoraphobia lyrics - Deerhunter
Cover me, cover me
Come for me, come for me
Cover me, cover me
Comfort me, comfort me
I had a dream
No longer to be free
I want only to see
Four walls made of concrete
6 by 6 enclosed
Soon we're on video, oh, oh, oh
Feed me twice a day
I want to fade away, away
Cover me, cover me
Come for me, come for me
Cover me, cover me
Comfort me, comfort me
And after some time
I know I would go blind
But seeing only binds
The vision to the eye
I'd lose my voice, I know
But I've nothing left to say
It is nothing left to pray
No echo in this place
Come for me, come for me
Cover me, cover me
Comfort me, comfort me
I had a dream
No longer to be free
I want only to see
Four walls made of concrete
6 by 6 enclosed
Soon we're on video, oh, oh, oh
Feed me twice a day
I want to fade away, away
Cover me, cover me
Come for me, come for me
Cover me, cover me
Comfort me, comfort me
And after some time
I know I would go blind
But seeing only binds
The vision to the eye
I'd lose my voice, I know
But I've nothing left to say
It is nothing left to pray
No echo in this place
Never Stops lyrics - Deerhunter
I had dreams
That frightened me awake
I happened to escape
But my escape
Would never come
Would never come
Would never come
Would never come
I had plans
To go away for days
To try and risk a pace
That haunts my days
That haunts my days
Haunts my days
Haunts my days
Haunts my days
I love
I love
I love
Winter
In my heart
It never stops
It never stops
Oh, winter
Oh, winter
Oh, winter
Oh, winter
It never stops
It never stops
It never stops
It never stops
It never
I love
I love
I love
That frightened me awake
I happened to escape
But my escape
Would never come
Would never come
Would never come
Would never come
I had plans
To go away for days
To try and risk a pace
That haunts my days
That haunts my days
Haunts my days
Haunts my days
Haunts my days
I love
I love
I love
Winter
In my heart
It never stops
It never stops
Oh, winter
Oh, winter
Oh, winter
Oh, winter
It never stops
It never stops
It never stops
It never stops
It never
I love
I love
I love
Little Kids lyrics - Deerhunter
Kids drinking gin on the
The front lawn
The kids see that man walking down
The dirt road
These kids see the sky and they think of him
Dressed in flames
Kids walk behind, slowly stalk
That old man
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
These kids followed him in
Into his shed
Where he turns on the radio
And smokes a cig
These kids come with gasoline
And they strike a match
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
To get older
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
The front lawn
The kids see that man walking down
The dirt road
These kids see the sky and they think of him
Dressed in flames
Kids walk behind, slowly stalk
That old man
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
These kids followed him in
Into his shed
Where he turns on the radio
And smokes a cig
These kids come with gasoline
And they strike a match
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
To get older
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
To get older still
Microcastle lyrics - Deerhunter
All I've seen
All I've seen
Try to
Describe it
In the time
Of all of it
Try not to
Come to bed
Warm me and
I might slip
I might do
I might
Try to
Describe it all
In your time
End it all
All I do
It may be not it
On and on, it could
Be my beginning
All through time
All through time
All I've seen
Try to
Describe it
In the time
Of all of it
Try not to
Come to bed
Warm me and
I might slip
I might do
I might
Try to
Describe it all
In your time
End it all
All I do
It may be not it
On and on, it could
Be my beginning
All through time
All through time
Green Jacket lyrics - Deerhunter
I take
What I can
I give
What I have left
I take
By the hand
What I need
What I see
What I can
I give
What I have left
I take
By the hand
What I need
What I see
Activa lyrics - Deerhunter
Wasted our lives
We wasted our time
I trickled out
Creek would run dry
Steam would rise
I tried
I tried
I tried
I tried
We wasted our time
I trickled out
Creek would run dry
Steam would rise
I tried
I tried
I tried
I tried
Nothing Ever Happened lyrics - Deerhunter
Only when I dream but there's no way out
You learn to talk, you learn to shout
Focus on the depth that was never there
Eliminate what you can't repair
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Life just passed and flashed right through me
Sleep through the winter, awake in spring
Adjust your eyes to the state of things
Focus on the depth that was never there
Nothing's easy, nothing's fair
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Life just passed and flashed right through me
I never saw it coming
Waiting for something, for nothing
I never saw it coming
Waiting for something, for nothing
You learn to talk, you learn to shout
Focus on the depth that was never there
Eliminate what you can't repair
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Life just passed and flashed right through me
Sleep through the winter, awake in spring
Adjust your eyes to the state of things
Focus on the depth that was never there
Nothing's easy, nothing's fair
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Life just passed and flashed right through me
I never saw it coming
Waiting for something, for nothing
I never saw it coming
Waiting for something, for nothing
Saved By Old Times lyrics - Deerhunter
Mrs. Hemmings was OAO
Pretty soon we were all OAO
We were captured by Victorian vampires
With elaborate designs, with elaborate designs
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
We are a Romanian sound collage (old black bandit)
Searching for the ghost of past [?] (I can't stand it)
But this futile coffin will not let us gain entry (I'm your planet, old black bandit)
Into the immortal soul of the redneck (I can't stand it)
You are trapped in your basement for a war of 16 years (I'm your planet, old black bandit)
To combat prevention and in combat with yourself
We are in combat with these cultural vampires
We were trapped in the basement
We were trapped in the basement of the fucking teenage halfway hell
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
Pretty soon we were all OAO
We were captured by Victorian vampires
With elaborate designs, with elaborate designs
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
We are a Romanian sound collage (old black bandit)
Searching for the ghost of past [?] (I can't stand it)
But this futile coffin will not let us gain entry (I'm your planet, old black bandit)
Into the immortal soul of the redneck (I can't stand it)
You are trapped in your basement for a war of 16 years (I'm your planet, old black bandit)
To combat prevention and in combat with yourself
We are in combat with these cultural vampires
We were trapped in the basement
We were trapped in the basement of the fucking teenage halfway hell
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
Neither Of Us, Uncertainly lyrics - Deerhunter
So long to the
The days you grow sad of
And you try to find
Not much for you to hold
The more that you hold the
The more you feel alone
And wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
No more
So long to the
The days you come to know
So you had to
To get there on your own
To wait
To grow old
You're waiting
To grow old
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
No more
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
No more
The days you grow sad of
And you try to find
Not much for you to hold
The more that you hold the
The more you feel alone
And wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
No more
So long to the
The days you come to know
So you had to
To get there on your own
To wait
To grow old
You're waiting
To grow old
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
No more
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
Until you can wait
No more
Twilight At Carbon Lake lyrics - Deerhunter
Go to the shore and
Pray for the sea
Go towards the mirror and
Pray that you'll see
Someone else
Downtown
Go downtown
Go to the waves of grain
In the center of the state
Go away
Go to a parking lot
Sit on the ground and cry
You'll never know why
Start over
Go to the ocean
On a ship
Wave goodbye to the waves
And the
Frozen shit
That was in your heart
So long
Time slows when it goes away
Go away
Time Slows
So long
Pray for the sea
Go towards the mirror and
Pray that you'll see
Someone else
Downtown
Go downtown
Go to the waves of grain
In the center of the state
Go away
Go to a parking lot
Sit on the ground and cry
You'll never know why
Start over
Go to the ocean
On a ship
Wave goodbye to the waves
And the
Frozen shit
That was in your heart
So long
Time slows when it goes away
Go away
Time Slows
So long
Fluorescent Grey lyrics - Deerhunter
I woke up
In the middle of the night
I called out
I called your name
Patiently, patiently
I called out
Why do I dream
So often of
His body when
His body will decay
His flesh will be fluorescent grey
His flesh will be fluorescent grey
Patiently, patiently
You were my god
You were my god in high school
People never really know
Patiently, Patiently
In the middle of the night
I called out
I called your name
Patiently, patiently
I called out
Why do I dream
So often of
His body when
His body will decay
His flesh will be fluorescent grey
His flesh will be fluorescent grey
Patiently, patiently
You were my god
You were my god in high school
People never really know
Patiently, Patiently
Dr. Glass lyrics - Deerhunter

In the world
So many
Useless bodies
So much sorrow
All the couples kissing
The children missing
The corpses rotting
In the cities spotting the globe
In the world
So many
Useless bodies
So much sorrow
All the couples kissing
The children missing
The corpses rotting
In the cities spotting the globe
So many
Useless bodies
So much traffic

In the world
So many
Useless bodies
So much sorrow
All the couples kissing
The children missing
The corpses rotting
In the cities spotting the globe
Like New lyrics - Deerhunter
I opened up my aim
I put cotton to flame
I saw the city lanes
Mirrored in falling rain
Seems like new
Seems like new
And so the skeletons
Had left their work undone
Nowhere to hide their skin
Back to the crypt again
Be like you
Be like you
I put cotton to flame
I saw the city lanes
Mirrored in falling rain
Seems like new
Seems like new
And so the skeletons
Had left their work undone
Nowhere to hide their skin
Back to the crypt again
Be like you
Be like you
Wash Off lyrics - Deerhunter
We had some conflicts
With Prince Erudite
Laid out on spreadsheets
And
In the parking lot
Of my high school
Cheap acid
Soft focus
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
And in the parking lot
Of my high school
Cheap acid
Soft focus
And in the parking lot
Of my high school
Cheap acid
Soft focus
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
With Prince Erudite
Laid out on spreadsheets
And
In the parking lot
Of my high school
Cheap acid
Soft focus
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
And in the parking lot
Of my high school
Cheap acid
Soft focus
And in the parking lot
Of my high school
Cheap acid
Soft focus
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
I was sixteen
Cryptograms lyrics - Deerhunter
My greatest fear I fantasized
The days were long, the weeks flew by
Before I knew I was awake
My days were through, it was too late
My greatest fear I organized
Into something more realized
And now what's left I get to spend
Knowing that it's about to end
My greatest fear I can't decode
A cryptogram whose seeds weren't sewn
My last few months I arised out
My vision blurred, there was no sound
There was no sound, there was no sound
The days were long, the weeks flew by
Before I knew I was awake
My days were through, it was too late
My greatest fear I organized
Into something more realized
And now what's left I get to spend
Knowing that it's about to end
My greatest fear I can't decode
A cryptogram whose seeds weren't sewn
My last few months I arised out
My vision blurred, there was no sound
There was no sound, there was no sound
Lake Somerset lyrics - Deerhunter
It pays to kill anyone who has information
In the park we hide behind rocks
We urinate on rocks until the sun comes up
Encrypted in flesh, concrete soaked in sweat
We lived in Lake Somerset
It was south of Dallas Highway, just east of a drained lake
Orchids dissolve, equations solved, psychic landscape
To know there is a limit to what you can experience
These walls I know, I grew up here
No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction
In the park we hide behind rocks
We urinate on rocks until the sun comes up
Encrypted in flesh, concrete soaked in sweat
We lived in Lake Somerset
It was south of Dallas Highway, just east of a drained lake
Orchids dissolve, equations solved, psychic landscape
To know there is a limit to what you can experience
These walls I know, I grew up here
No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction
Octet lyrics - Deerhunter
I was the corpse that spiraled out
I was the corpse that spiraled out
Into phantom hallways
I was the corpse that spiraled out
I was the corpse that spiraled out
Into phantom hallways
I was the corpse that spiraled out
Spring Hall Convert lyrics - Deerhunter
So I woke up in a radio freeze
Occupied by a
Couple of girls I knew from
Way back when where
Oh, I had my face like the ocean
So I'd radiate but
Too much radiation
I walk around like a walker
Always choosing where to go
And where to be
Oh, radiation
Oh, radiation
Oh, so long
Oh, so long, so long
So long loneliness, so long loneliness
So long loneliness, so long, so long
So long, yeah, so long, yeah
So long, yeah, so long
So far from home, so far from home
So far from home, so far from home
Occupied by a
Couple of girls I knew from
Way back when where
Oh, I had my face like the ocean
So I'd radiate but
Too much radiation
I walk around like a walker
Always choosing where to go
And where to be
Oh, radiation
Oh, radiation
Oh, so long
Oh, so long, so long
So long loneliness, so long loneliness
So long loneliness, so long, so long
So long, yeah, so long, yeah
So long, yeah, so long
So far from home, so far from home
So far from home, so far from home
Strange Lights lyrics - Deerhunter
What direction should we choose?
We're lost and still confused
I walk into the sun
With you, the only one
Who understood the ways
The hours become days
The weeks turn into months
We walk into the sun
So glad to have a guide
Less lonely for the ride
And should this car ascend
At least I'm with a friend
In space all things are slow
No sound with speakers blown
The silence fits the scene
The prince is now the king
We walk into the sun
We walk but cannot run
Because walking's half the fun
We walk into the sun
And neon blurs my sight
I'm guided by strange lights
And I'm rattled and I'm stunned
As I walk into the sun
We're lost and still confused
I walk into the sun
With you, the only one
Who understood the ways
The hours become days
The weeks turn into months
We walk into the sun
So glad to have a guide
Less lonely for the ride
And should this car ascend
At least I'm with a friend
In space all things are slow
No sound with speakers blown
The silence fits the scene
The prince is now the king
We walk into the sun
We walk but cannot run
Because walking's half the fun
We walk into the sun
And neon blurs my sight
I'm guided by strange lights
And I'm rattled and I'm stunned
As I walk into the sun
Hazel St. lyrics - Deerhunter
There was no connecting my actions with words
In the bright sunlight the movement of birds
The car ride home was blinded again
The light would not focus, the light would not bend
There's no use calling, I know what you'd say
Over and over, it ended today
Words lost their meaning and could not explain
Why the subject was always just out of frame
I was sixteen
I lived on Hazel Street
Protect me from the scene
And guide me with your heat
I was sixteen
I lived on Hazel Street
Protect me from the scene
And guide me with your heat
Ice forms in sheets
They're melting in the street
The ice forms in sheets
They're melting in the street
In the bright sunlight the movement of birds
The car ride home was blinded again
The light would not focus, the light would not bend
There's no use calling, I know what you'd say
Over and over, it ended today
Words lost their meaning and could not explain
Why the subject was always just out of frame
I was sixteen
I lived on Hazel Street
Protect me from the scene
And guide me with your heat
I was sixteen
I lived on Hazel Street
Protect me from the scene
And guide me with your heat
Ice forms in sheets
They're melting in the street
The ice forms in sheets
They're melting in the street
Heatherwood lyrics - Deerhunter
In the beginning the world was a map
Out through the back door and into the trap
Home is an echo reflecting a place
I disappeared then and without a trace
I was arranged to leave on that day
There were complications, I've chosen to stay
I saw the curtains and it was the end
When one life is over a new one begins
When one life is over a new one begins
When one life is over a new one begins
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again
Out through the back door and into the trap
Home is an echo reflecting a place
I disappeared then and without a trace
I was arranged to leave on that day
There were complications, I've chosen to stay
I saw the curtains and it was the end
When one life is over a new one begins
When one life is over a new one begins
When one life is over a new one begins
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again, was not seen again
Was not seen again
N. Animals lyrics - Deerhunter
I was born of concrete, born out of chemistry
It comes out of chaos, blooms in infinity
New animals born of concrete, born out of chemistry
New Animals, concrete, born in to circuitry
I was six when six was surface
Yeah, time moves forwards and backwards in currents
I was eight underneath the surface of the Earth which became a furnace
Animals, go
A-B-C-D, we've got no history
A-B-C-D, we've got no history
A-B-C-D, we've got no history, A-B-C-D, we've got no history
A-B-C-D, we've got no history, A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, you're no use to me)
A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, we've got no chemistry),
A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, we've got no chemistry)
A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, we've got no chemistry)
A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, we've got no chemistry)
We are animals, you know us
We are animals, and ghosts
We are animals, you know us
We are animals, you know us
Attack, attack
It comes out of chaos, blooms in infinity
New animals born of concrete, born out of chemistry
New Animals, concrete, born in to circuitry
I was six when six was surface
Yeah, time moves forwards and backwards in currents
I was eight underneath the surface of the Earth which became a furnace
Animals, go
A-B-C-D, we've got no history
A-B-C-D, we've got no history
A-B-C-D, we've got no history, A-B-C-D, we've got no history
A-B-C-D, we've got no history, A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, you're no use to me)
A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, we've got no chemistry),
A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, we've got no chemistry)
A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, we've got no chemistry)
A-B-C-D, we've got no history (A-B-C-D, we've got no chemistry)
We are animals, you know us
We are animals, and ghosts
We are animals, you know us
We are animals, you know us
Attack, attack
Adorno lyrics - Deerhunter
I lived twice after my suicide
In the future or the past, I could not decide
Which one I hate the most
My body has become a sacramental host
When you're once the son of god and you're still unemployed
Offered up salvation, surrender to the void
Perspectives crushed
I might be living in two places at once
Cross these world, it's self-destructive
So am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
No subside, I attempted suicide
I could not die, no matter how hard I tried
So I was bored
I wanted to die, so I spilled out on the ground
They put me in a hospital, they said I need to rest
After all, now father knows best for all
I can't say
Tales speak day after day
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
(Self-destructive)
(So self-destructive)
In the future or the past, I could not decide
Which one I hate the most
My body has become a sacramental host
When you're once the son of god and you're still unemployed
Offered up salvation, surrender to the void
Perspectives crushed
I might be living in two places at once
Cross these world, it's self-destructive
So am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
No subside, I attempted suicide
I could not die, no matter how hard I tried
So I was bored
I wanted to die, so I spilled out on the ground
They put me in a hospital, they said I need to rest
After all, now father knows best for all
I can't say
Tales speak day after day
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Am I sleeping on a floor or am I nailed to a cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
Tales, cross, tales, cross
(Self-destructive)
(So self-destructive)
Tech School lyrics - Deerhunter
No cigarette breaks, no sex, parking lot
Play by weakness, play academic rock
Tech school
Tech school
So sick of tech school, can't play by the rules
Vacate forum, no sex, bus stop
Tech School
Tech School
Tech School
No cigarette breaks, no sex, parking lot
Play academic rock
Tech school, drop out
No pornography, rebuild history
Fight for the family, restore heredity
Tech school
So sick of tech school
So sick of tech school
I want university
Where they rebuild culture in their sleep
Tech school, drop out
He sits by the TV, he's history
He sits by the TV, he's history
He sits by the TV, he's history
He sits by the TV, he's history
No cigarette breaks, no sex, parking lot
Play by weakness, play academic rock
Tech school
So sick of tech school, can't play by the rules
I want university where they rebuild culture in their sleep
Tech school, drop out
Play by weakness, play academic rock
Tech school
Tech school
So sick of tech school, can't play by the rules
Vacate forum, no sex, bus stop
Tech School
Tech School
Tech School
No cigarette breaks, no sex, parking lot
Play academic rock
Tech school, drop out
No pornography, rebuild history
Fight for the family, restore heredity
Tech school
So sick of tech school
So sick of tech school
I want university
Where they rebuild culture in their sleep
Tech school, drop out
He sits by the TV, he's history
He sits by the TV, he's history
He sits by the TV, he's history
He sits by the TV, he's history
No cigarette breaks, no sex, parking lot
Play by weakness, play academic rock
Tech school
So sick of tech school, can't play by the rules
I want university where they rebuild culture in their sleep
Tech school, drop out
Ponds lyrics - Deerhunter
Jumping
Your hands are like ice picks
You're the king of rich kids
Just once
Creation of deathly
You're the king of rich kids
Your dreams are x-rated
You're seduced by credit cards
Ponds like hands grow
Jumping
You're the king of rich kids
And your dreams are X-rated
Seduced by sports car, middle run
Jumping
You're the dream of rich kids
Tranced by basements
Box of, no, no
Box of old junk
Ponds like hands grow
Your hands are like ice picks
You're the king of rich kids
Just once
Creation of deathly
You're the king of rich kids
Your dreams are x-rated
You're seduced by credit cards
Ponds like hands grow
Jumping
You're the king of rich kids
And your dreams are X-rated
Seduced by sports car, middle run
Jumping
You're the dream of rich kids
Tranced by basements
Box of, no, no
Box of old junk
Ponds like hands grow
Basement lyrics - Deerhunter
What's in the basement
Cool trick
It's twilight now
No fake shit
What's in the basement
Cool trick
Superimpose
Twilight effect
What's in the basement
What's in the basement
I'm in the basement
What's in the basement
I'm in the basement
With quick focus
What's in the basement
Cool trick
It's twilight now
No fake shit
Rained on youth
Soaked to skin
You're absent
Sent back again
You're absent youth
Rained on youth
Soaked to skin bruised
Black and blue refuged
Cobwebbed stripped and mildewed
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down
You don't want to go down
You don't want to go down
I don't want to go down
You don't want to go down
What's in the basement
You're half naked
I don't want to go down
You don't want to go down
I don't want to go down
You don't want to go down
Basement

You're in the basement
Quick quick focus
