Cover art for Flesh Canoe lyrics by Animal Collective

The lyrics are correct, but they are not presented correctly. As stated above, it "just his subconscious flowing." Think of it as a relationship on fast forward. The hyphens symbolize one thought.

-Young red bird: they're just natural feelings-

-i can't keep from changing-

-my brain is bending my wants with my rights-

-are my friends still half right? and should i keep them seperate from me?

its unclear-

-then i get a cold-

-can i get a light?-

-theres a certain type of easy pace thats what we need to make it..-

-come in close i trust you-

-your nose dipped in my sweat it dripped on your beautiful sweater

kind of nice-

-should i really lie with you?-

-i never know when im on my own-

-are there more important things to do then kiss or sleep today we gotta wake up...-

-then i talk to your breath and we enjoy the air

and i creep on your chest to the hut i have where i pluck a few notes on the strands of your hair

and im singing to you what to do if I asked you to make funny faces with me in the mirror of the bathroom?-

-I know your next-

-you make me feel alright-

-are you just like me? never gonna pick one kind of fruit like a mushed bannana on your tooth

and you like the sting of the cherry juice

never eat an apple thats just one color-

-young red bird: theyre just natural feelings

like: walking off to ride my bike

or just bump into you

i havent seen you in a week or three days

though it really bugs me its nice to find new ways to smile-

-i keep thinking that when you feel sad you cant pout

cause what this songs about: is me singing im just wondering what to do with you myself and me naked in the mirror of the bathroom-

Okay, so this song is about him singing and wondering...what would he do if he and this other person was in front of a mirror. Songwriters don't lie, do they?
