Animal Collective – Man of Oil Lyrics 8 years ago
Think he's talking about being the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz....

"I woke to sweats in the night
Strange sensation to feel alive"
-He doesn't feel alive...

"Wizard with a wand
Competing with the lightning
Coward and also a king
And a man of oil"
-The Wizard, the Cowardly Lion King, and the Tin Man

"Broken limbs filled with smooth snakeskin"
-Like being filled with straw

"You've got to have the tough guts
So you're hung like a human
And watch the young nuts grow"
-He's hung and watching the nuts grow like on a farm
