Did You See the Words Songtext
von Animal Collective

Have you seen them? The words cut open
Your poor intestines can′t deny
When the inky periods drip from your mailbox and
Blood flies dip and glide reach down inside (Insi-i-ide, insi-i-de)

There's something living in these lines
And when your newest kisser is peeking
You dress yourself up tonight
Getting tangled up in arms and legs, it′s cramped up and
Someone grabs a hold, do you go "Ooo-oo-oooh?"
Should you go ho-o-ome?
There's something starting, don't know why


And in a house so cozy, few words are spoken
Let′s take our shoes off and unwind
When there′s minuets off in the background drownin' out
Eyes off ears off test the kiss goodnight
A kiss goodnight
Don′t keep my loving on my mind

'Cause it′s messy yes this mess is mine
Though mine is messy, yours is maybe nine

Look, we have similar stitches
Look, we have similar frowns
Do the eldery couples still kiss and hug and
Grab their big wrinkly skin so tough wrinkly wrink-wrink-wrinkly rough?

Did you see the words you know?
Give me rabies, bring your babies at the hospital
Violent ends with friends that go
Kissed a few in sticky shoes, our cartoon show is broken
Did you see the words you wrote?
Give me rabies, bring your babies at the hospital
Violent ends with friends that go
Kissed a few in sticky shoes, our cartoon show is broken
