Animal Collective – Fireworks Lyrics 11 years ago
This is what I think I'm hearing in the studio version of this song:

Now it's day, 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 a rubble of the night from before
Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, 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 doing?"
"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 I desire
The sacred night, we watched the fireworks,the frightened babies poo
They've got two flashing eyes, they're colored while
they make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes.

I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A Genii made me under the earth's skin" and
in spite of her she is my birth kin,
she spits me out in her swirly blood rivers
All the people have lurking in dominions of a 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's you doing?"
"How's your food?" "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 cause my mind is tired,
It's family beaches that I desire,
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
That frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
And if they're color blind, they make me feel, that you're only what I see sometimes.

And 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 they're color blind, they make me feel, that I'm only all I see sometimes.
