La Rapet Songtext
von Animal Collective

Watch the scene bend
As my white face cuts the sky like daggers
Face you towards the wall
We can′t touch you but you move our hobby
Reach into the hall
Step around the feast and find the lobby
Open up the door
See an angel and you'll lose your body

My God
It′s an angel
It's an angel
It's an angel


We had a date
Stretching out on your sheets
Isabelle, Isabelle, can′t you hear me?
I can′t tell
They're in the room
Like in the first job
Hold me dear, hold me dear
Can′t you feel me touch your ear?

Meat was on the bone
But the children huddled and devoured
Keep them at the home
Let their minds go where their bikes can't take them
Flinching finds me first
So I′ll hide 'til she is in the basement
When I light the match
Touching angels′ shadows on the ceiling

My God
It's an angel
It's an angel
It′s an angel


Don′t have a room
Your forehead is on fire
Isabelle, Isabelle, they're all talking:
You′re not well
Well like it goes
They're shaking their heads
Say my name, say my name, can′t you hear me?
I'm to blame
I′m to blame

There have been sadder days
(Sadder days)
Oh, pretty angel
Starting to rot (my God)
Pretty angel (pretty angel)

They're starting
To rotting
And nodding
Pretty angels

They're starting
To rotting
And nodding
Pretty angels

They′re starting
To rotting
And nodding
Pretty angels

They′re starting
To rotting
And nodding
Pretty angels

They're starting
To rotting
And nodding
Pretty angels

They′re starting
To rotting
And nodding
Pretty angels

Pretty angels

Grab the preacher's throat
Can′t you see the light to lift the shudders?
Please set up the ball
Realize the dancing frees my chances
Put me on my feet
There's an angel with a hand that′s open
Write my name in ink
Then send a letter to the ground and beg him

My god
It's an angel
It's an angel
It′s an angel

Folding your clothes
Changing all your bed sheets
Isabelle, Isabelle, you′re not with me where I dwell
Drinking from your glass
Smash it on the pyre
It's a shame, it′s a shame, don't you see me?
I′m to blame
I'm to blame

Some peoples lives awake to itsy-bitsy, I′m-so-sorry's
The branch breaks
You crack a window and the wind might say:

"The birds are calling for you, please don't follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don′t follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don′t follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don't follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don′t follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don't follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don′t follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don't follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don′t follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don't follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don't follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don′t follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don′t follow"
"The birds are calling for you, please don't follow"
