Hocus Pocus Lyrics
[Intro]
(Well if you’re out and about on the freeways this morning, no dinosaurs to worry about)
[Verse 1]
So many ways
To wade behind the lines that border us, come on
Don't take a shot
Or smoke to trigger just a little bit, come on
Can't be a crime to meddle
Can't be wrong to push the pedal
Queasy in grime, no fellow
Standing bones don't up the level
[Verse 2]
So many times
The prints don't match the brush that painted it, come on
Don't take a forge
Or fake to dazzle as a conjurer, come on
Behind the drape, an agent
Behind aims a grave arrangement
Stuck in the slime, no paddle
Guarded lives don't tend to dabble
[Chorus]
Legalize this principle
Jump into a spot not visible
Bring it closer to the middle
What's alright with control
What's left but wander from the cynical
Take a look at views atypical
With an answer to the riddle
As a tightening grip, just when it starts to let go
[Post-Chorus]
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
[Bridge]
So many ways
Can't be a crime
Behind the drape
[Chorus]
Wander from the cynical
Take a look at this atypical
With an answer to the riddle
As the tightening grip
Just when it starts to let go
Jump into a spot not visible
Bring it closer to the middle
What's alright with control, a slipping grip is let go
[Post-Chorus]
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Focus (Hocus Pocus)
Vertical Lyrics
[Intro: Avey Tare, Avey Tare & Panda Bear]
Mountains in Kauai
Make me feel so lowly
Cower at their power
Vertical I like
Dizzy under buildings
Bending like their willing
Is it what I'm seeing
Vertical is fright
Hard to gain perspective
Often it's perplexing
Reaching for a record
Vertical is sight
Hanging on a pylon
Dropping from a million
Jumping hill to hill on
Vertical is height
[Verse 1: Avey Tare & Panda Bear]
People live above you
Postured like a totem
Runnin' up some stairs, oh
Vertical is might
Stalling on a nose and
Places to propose in
Seeing everything from
Vertical is light
Diamonds of the sky on
Black and endless background
Reaching out to grab them
Vertical at night
My imagination
Reaches to forever
Like an endless tower
Vertical I write
[Pre-Chorus: Avey Tare & Panda Bear]
So high and still it sends a feeling through me
(Oh up above me, falling over)
Suddenly not vertical
Breathe in the air the goes through a system that is
(Down below me, working steady)
Weary when it's vertical
A tree we are with limbs extending to the sun
(Single holly, finches calling)
Very lovely vertical
Come find me floating up if you should find me gone
(Nice and breezy, spirits easy)
Did you hear the child say?
[Chorus: Avey Tare, (Panda Bear), Avey Tare & Panda Bear]
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
For me, for me, for me
[Verse 2: Avey Tare & Panda Bear]
At the tips of cities
Birds are tracing columns
Windows bend in wind
Vertical in flight
Down below a statue
People stand in poses
Making good impressions
Vertical delights
Lying on a trunk
And waiting to be dreaming
Startled by a thumpin'
Vertical insight
Lots of people thinkin'
Thinking about falling
Nothing but a rope so
Vertical hold tight
[Pre-Chorus: Avey Tare & Panda Bear]
Sometimes you feel the pressure dropping on you
(Heavy folders, daring soldiers)
Crashing from the vertical
I start to wonder does this system matter?
(Crumbling boulder, couldn't hold her)
Only if it's vertical
Even in leaves some creatures build themselves a home
(Ancient maples, empty stables)
Can't always be vertical
Lifted above the din their world's a peaceful dome
(Nature's diet, finding quiet)
They don't hear the child say
[Chorus: Avey Tare & (Panda Bear)]
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
[Outro: Avey Tare & (Panda Bear)]
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
The parking lot is way too hot
(Then everything went vertical)
Bagels in Kiev Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Grandpop, we had sweet days
On the beach in Ventnor, I remember
Wish we could walk along
And you could watch the waves and talk the current Septembers
[Chorus]
These days I’m not so sure
Who is getting along or if they were before
I wasn’t there when Moses parted the sea
I wasn’t there with you, Grandpop back in Kiev
[Verse 2]
With the ladies dressed so nice
In their ornate reds and satin textures
Have you since found some peace?
It's like we can’t escape all the noise and violence
[Chorus]
These days I’m not so sure
Who is getting along or if they were before
I wasn’t there when Moses parted the sea
I wasn’t there with you, Grandpop back in Kiev
[Bridge]
Let's just speak love
[Verse 3]
Bagels for everyone
That’s the kind of thing you would have wanted
There should be lots to eat
Or how can they expect to get a tiring job done?
[Chorus]
These days I’m not so sure
Who is getting along or if they were before
I wasn’t there when Moses parted the sea
I wasn’t there with you, Grandpop back in Kiev
These days I’m not so sure
Who is getting along or if they were before
I wasn’t there when Moses parted the sea
I wasn’t there with you, Grandpop back in Kiev
On Delay Lyrics
[Intro]
I hear it doubly clear
[Verse 1]
There’s a doubled exposure
Just waiting to happen
I’m sitting and fading
Rain tapping together
Two licks of the dog bone
Me slipping through belt loops
You running ahead of
The sound coming after
[Verse 2]
I hear it doubly clear
Two mannequins in the window
Suit up like twins on day one
Loud harks in the grandest canyon
Natural slap
The world back at ya
It’s placing the mirror
And you will hear her
Throw two hacks
Attempting to chip it
Return of the bat crack
In a place called Camden
[Chorus]
(On delay) The two of us together
(On delay) The sweet of the double
(On delay) Me right behind you
(On delay) My steps will follow
(On delay) Two eyes that appeared there
(On delay) You saw them both times
(On delay) Looking at reflections
(On delay) And you were one of them
[Bridge]
And it was so nice
And it happened twice
And it was so nice
And it was nice
And it happened twice
And it was nice
And it happened twice
And it was
And it was
[Verse 3]
A place that’s thrice best
Leading me right into a feedback zone
In which I lose time
I’m finding new rhythms to hold on
A place that’s thrice best
Leading me right into a feedback zone
In which I lose time
I’m finding new rhythms to hold on
[Chorus]
(On delay) Two licks of the dog bone
(On delay) Me slipping through belt loops
(On delay) You running ahead of
(On delay) The sound coming after
[Outro]
So turned on by the delay
So turned on by the delay
So turned on by the delay
Summing the Wretch Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Watch it watch you watching wretch
Plugged into a people patch
Watch as bonds that illustrate
Also start to complicate
[Verse 2]
Catches in a net of type
Absence makes the sense go dark
All of the intended dart
None of the extended soul
[Chorus]
Getting screwed not much to do
When no one’s watching, no one’s looking
Can you see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see it
[Verse 3]
Feel a surge and make a steal
No one 'round to see the deed
Surge so strong it’s tough to tame
Urges lead with none to blame
[Verse 4]
Things go up that must come down
Those so down don’t want to drop
Every one so keen to glow
Bubble up from down below
[Chorus]
Wicked moves with none to lose
When no one’s looking, no one’s watching
Can you be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be it
[Outro]
So
Don’t get caught lost
So
Don’t get caught watching
Don’t get caught lost
Don’t get caught watching
Don’t get caught lost
