Chocolate Girl Lyrics
I'll leave you around into ocean,
Where grass grows,
And remnants of you with devotion,
My breath's out,
Inhaling a palm tree that's poison,
We look out,
We trace along the house where she was crazy,
And holding tightly,
The sound is dead,
Sing in time,
And life,
When life makes child, your only plight
With life,
When ceilings smiles, they'll sleep a while
In life,
But she was growing out of play-school,
Still, she could kick and scream and play,
Until she wanted to,
My little chocolate girl,
Her brother barely out of high school,
There'd been a place where he could scream,
Until he wanted to,
Our fuzzy tabby cat,
And she could bury him in apples,
And curl around a bowl of cotton until she wanted to
Because hearing isn't "I am with them",
And we tilled,
And picture ,someday, flowers in the garden ,
And quiet lay,
Still drinking with the boys until it's rained on,
And pray small,
In hopes of something better for the children,
When sound is dead,
It's singing time,
In life,
When life means child is your only pride
You'll lie,
When ceilings smile, you'll sleep a while,
In life,
Then they would dance between their elders,
Where she would cream until the wine she bought had settled in,
My little chocolate girl,
She used to love the stars from England,
She slept on records and her marble jewelry from her skin,
Her colors matched the room,
And she would twirl around the curtains,
She had a hand to hold her chin up,
When her friends walked out,
The kid across the street,
He'll keep around when she was changing,
And he would wait till she would tell her friends about the boy,
Her "Mother" Dad at home,
She had saliva in her pockets,
She gave a girl when her last grace hath find thee, dig the day
Oh won'tcha make a name?
So I won't feast on fallen,
Better love the rain, who brought the stings and dead,
And who will pop the triggers,
I can't see you,
I'll open up my brain again,
i thought i posted this comment in this song already.. but i played this song for a girl and it was the first animal collective song she loved.. she kept asking me to play it over and over and in the end i gave her the nickname chocolate girl.
Someone posted my lyrics and Avey said they were far off... but he didn't want to give them to us because it would spoil the mystique. Makes sense, I guess. I doubt they are brilliant. Their hidden aspects make the song better.
To me it sounds like a dad and his daughter, and he slowly loses her as she grows up and needs less and less of him, meets boys, etc. There's nothing he can really do but accept it. Such is life.
And who will part the train, Cause I can't see you, I'll open up my brain again,
I have totally different lyrics. But I can hardly understand them, either I have the wrong version or you do which i doubt. I'll have to wait till I get the original song next week on vinyl...mm ya yummy
Either you are paying tons of money. Have a really really good hook up or are buying the second pressing. Considering Spirit theyve gone was originally like what five hundred or less prints
i have a theory after "Still she had to speak loud" since there was a line missing i thought i'd try. and what i heard ended up altering my opinion with a different take on the next few lines as well.. enjoy or discard.
cause hearing isn't higher then rhythm and meets him and picks her sunday flowers in the autumn and quietly still drinking with the boys and their friend and prays long in hopes of something better to show them and holding tightly and the sound is dead.... etc
well thats it. i guess the sunday flowers supports the praying line. who knows. lyrics can be tough.. glad there are so many contributing!!
A guy gave me a mix CD of songs awhile ago and this song was the opener or a range of cryptic songs arranged as a type of message. I still puzzle over this song, it's quite cute.
perhaps the end of the song goes like this:
put your little daughter 'cross the knees so i won't feast and follow better love the rain who brought the stings ended and who will pop the triggers i can't see you i'll open up my brain again
It's definitely pop the triggers. Someone fix that.
It's definitely pop the triggers. Someone fix that.
Everything else in that last part is right.
Everything else in that last part is right.
These lyrics seem completely wrong to me. I have the lyrics I think are closer but I'm not sure if I should post them. Anyway, this song is so dreamlike. I think it's about the singer falling in love with a girl he met in a dream. She's chocolate girl because when he woke up she just sort of melted away and the only thing left is a sweet aftertaste.
i dont think these lyrics are terribly wrong.
