Bagels in Kiev Lyrics by Animal Collective

Painting With

2016

[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
