Hounds of Bairro Songtext
von Animal Collective

Take care with that mission
Because this stuff lasts
Limbs that get hacked
Won′t just grow back
Plans will make or
Break this old plan
Beware of those itches
Because once it's passed
You can′t go back

Up till now it's
Just been dreams
Where it's been seen
A genesis
Moves up again
The premise sounds
The promise bright
A narrow view
Has been recycled with


Get it right
As the moment closes in
Time runs out
As the moment closes in

Magical creation
Take care
Think it through
When this pup grows savage who knows
How to forecast when no wind blows
Could be any day now
Beware tension grows
No big deal

How to go care
On this team
Ourselves the same
Our wretched vexed
With reckless breath
And should a gambit
Throw the game
A hard reset won′t clear the board


Can′t fix us
We're broken
Big dare
Make it move
Have a window
Keep it local
Take a turn
And pass the focus
Being only systems
Don′t laugh
Skin and bone
Sand and steel

Up till now
It's just been dreams
Where its been seen
A genesis moves up again
The premise sounds
The promise bright
A narrow view has burnt
Decide or just wait

Signs speak out
Like a sticker on the hood
Almost there
Like a sticker in the mud
