| Avey Tare – Oliver Twist Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Here's what I got... quite a few corrections but there are still some parts I'm shaky on since he manipulates his voice so much. Avey's lyrics always seem to hit the personal nail right on the head... he obviously resents his feelings of depravity and would like to acknowledge they aren't anything as bad as those of the characters in Oliver Twist. This song is has so many Buddhist elements to it, hope ya'll transcend as much of the reality-of-selfishness as this song implores. Movie Sample: “He saw what he would look in the rock and see what was in there and I guess that day he saw a skull… one of his dark days. —Pothead–“ In through the door in my living room I don’t wanna know the aura from my bathroom. Should I pull up the floor from my kitchen So I could feel the dirt while I'm doing all my dishes? To live in a house but without breathing Is a luxury when you (who) understand it’s meaning. But in the dark what am I dreaming? The galaxy of stars above a ceiling In my eye I'm understanding what I see it's hard to think about the time it takes to get from space to me. Yeah I think that you are, Yeah I think that you are but I didn’t know whether I should be and then there's the thinking, and then I'm thinking of the many who have been here (OR “the many who have been me” ?) (oooohhhh) Ocean, why do we gotta stick here when we're stuck inside the motion? City grind OR Sick rhyme (not sure), It’s hard to sit myself down when I just think about the ocean. Oh, I'm crying. Shouldn't I be content with what I got and also dying? Demanding I receive something I enjoy if I acquire and I wonder if it's me who’s just a thief, taking a stash and blazing the grass, digging a hole and digging it deep, (you can dig for a while) yeah dig for a while 'cause I never know when to plant the seed, and I must start thinking, and I'm thinking of the many who’d have been here. (mmmm mmhhhhmmmmmm mmmmmmm)x2 It's going to be a new world with us, It's going to be a EITHER founding flaw OR fine day Paul. (not sure) And If I had some kind of need Maybe the thing I need is the thing I’ve got And if I look inside of me I’ll find the thing that gets me to the bot[tom]. And I know that there are needy Some are good, but some are rotten Why should I motivate the needs When I know my needs should be forgotten. x3 |
