Cover art for Visiting Friends lyrics by Animal Collective

So the lyrics posted here seem incorrect for the most part :. The middle is very unclear(others have any ideas?), but i believe the end is mostly correct.

Visiting Friends:

"We were visiting friends and saying hello Then getting stoned and not saying much Watching the people on TV who talk faster than us I'm still holding the cup Ignoring the sound of the ice cream truck (?) She had visiting moods What it wants to be

We were visiting friends (?) too (muddy) (?) got stuck I walked a (?) (?) I heard a bird in the windowpane You rolled up your grass (?) But the cop couldn't tell

But the comfort to know what visiting is We're visiting beds Marking the difference In the way that they smell The light hits them differently The sheets do get cold The windows are cracked Do you recognize the room, The posters that tilt, Furniture spread around

We were visiting mine"

Also, i believe by "visiting friends" he is speaking of a relationship in which the lover comes and goes...Visiting friends as in a friend who only visits, never staying to establish anything worthwhile. Just an idea, rereading the partial lyrics with that in mind really helped me at least feel like i understand the song/meaning, but to each his own :)
