Fireworks - Animal Collective

Now it’s eight, I’ve been trying to get that taste off my tongue

I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm

Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before

Now I can’t walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, I feel my pores

It’s the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light

Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I’m polite

«What's the day?»

«What's you doin'?»

«How's your mood?»

«How's that song?»

Man it passes right by me, it’s behind me, now it’s gone

And I can’t lift you up, my mind is tired

It’s family beaches that I desire

A sacred night, we’ll watch the fireworks

The frightened babies poo

They’ve got two flashing eyes and they’re colored why

They make me feel that I’m only all I see sometimes

I’ve been eatin' with a good friend who said

«A genie made me out of the earth’s skin»

But in spite of her she is my birth kin

She spits me out in her surly blood rivers

All the people I’m lurkin'

Are dominions of the hot Turk dish

If the elephants be reaching for our purses

Then meet me after the world with the shivers

«What's the day?»

«What are you doing?»

«How's your food?""How's that song?»

Man it passes right by me It’s behind me now it’s gone

I can’t lift you up cause my mind is tired

It’s family beaches that I desire

That sacred night where we watched the fireworks

They frightened the babies and you know

They’ve got two flashing eyes and

If they are color blind, they make me feel

That you’re only what I see sometimes
