Summertime Clothes Lyrics
Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks and
A voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved
You slide down your stairs to the heated street
And the sun has left us with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you, we're goin'
It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
We'll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes,
Nowhere to go while our bodies glow
And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues
With purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
When the sun goes down, we'll go out again (16x)
Don't cool off, I like your warmth
Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
The restlessness calls us, that I cannot hide
So much on my mind that it spills outside
Do you want to go stroll down the financial street?
Our clothes might get soaked, but the buildings sleep
And there's no one pushing for a place
Let's meander at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
Just you, just you, just you...
Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks and
A voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved
You slide down your stairs to the heated street
And the sun has left us with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you, we're goin'
Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
We'll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes,
Nowhere to go while our bodies glow
And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues
With purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
Don't cool off, I like your warmth
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
The restlessness calls us, that I cannot hide
So much on my mind that it spills outside
Do you want to go stroll down the financial street?
Our clothes might get soaked, but the buildings sleep
And there's no one pushing for a place
Let's meander at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
Just you, just you, just you...

I think the line "Foreman is leaking" should be "Forehead is leaking." Unless he's talking about a foreman taking a piss in his bedroom (which could also explain the pool in his bed...), it makes alot more sense that he would be sweating on a hot summer night.
i agree. funny comment.

Now kind man, ever since when did this band make sense?

I think Foreman is meant to be talking about a fridge

I drove around in cirles listening to this song today. It's worth wasting gas.
he never says "love" in this song or anything along those lines, but no song has ever made me feel like the singer loves who he's talking about as much as this one does.
i loooove this song so much! everytime he says "i want to walk around with you" i get chills. it's so sweet!
some errors in there, these sound right to me:

Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen Kissing the wind through my window screen But restless is causeless and I cannot hide So much on my mind that it spills outside Do you wanna go stroll down a financial street? Our clothes might get soaked But the building's sleep
And there's no one pushing for a place As we enter at an easy pace And I want to walk around with you (x2) I want to walk around with you (x4)
Just you, just you, just you, just you (x4)
BEST LYRICS I'VE READ IN A LONG TIME. whoa
Great song off the new album. Its about living in the city, everything being humid and hot and not being able to sleep. He calls his girlfriend and luckily she picks up the phone, as its the middle of the night. They go out and walk through the city alone window shopping and dancing to music they hear from car stereos. Great imagery and a great concept.
Don't cool off I like your warmth
that line gives me the shivers every time I listen. Avery and Animal Collective at their best right here
official
Sweet summer night but I'm stripped to my sheets Forehead is leaking, the AC squeaks and A voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired" My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire Soak my head in the sink for a while Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved You slide down your stairs to the heated street The sun has left us with slippery feet And I want to walk around with you And I want to walk around with you And be here with you and go out
It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel Hump for the breeze, get a midnight meal I point in the windows, you point out the parks Rip up your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash Walking around in our summertime clothes, Nowhere to go while our bodies blow But we'll greet the dawn with morning blues In purple yards we'll be sleeping soon And I want to walk around with you And I want to walk around with you
For the chorus I've been hearing "And the sun goes down on the world again"
i don't know about you guys but i hear:
The restlessness call says that I cannot hide
and:
Nowhere to go where our bodies glow.
and finally:
As we meander at an easy pace.
