Banshee Beat (4/23/05 Haverford, PA) Lyrics by Animal Collective

Feels (Bonus Disc)

2005

[Intro]
Oh there'll be time, to get by, I get dry after the swimming pool
Oh there'll be time, to just cry, I wonder why it didn't work out
Oh there'll be time to fish fry, for letters by yours truly
Yours truly
[Verse 1]
Someone in my dictionary's up to no good
I never find the very special words I should
So I have another party with a water glass
And I sit on all your actions, it's a birthing game
And I'll bet he needs a shower 'cause he's just like me
You know the soldiers in the painting know your secret face
Well your parrot told me just how I can make you smile
Gonna let you do your thinking if you need a while
But what I gave you made him get mad
A little bit funny how a thing like that
Could travel from one mouth in through another and
The next thing you know you gotta hear it from your brother and
The words they sting like a stump of old wasps
Do you remember when I said go throw the rock in there?
And we ran through the woods to our good house
But you forgot about the things that he could say like
I don't think that I like you anymore
Well I found new feelings at the feeling store
And I can't find you at our kissing place
And I'm scared of those new pair of eyes you have
[Chorus]
So I duck out and go down to find the swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet your feet to find the swimming pool
'Cause when you're snuffed out I doubt you'll find a swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet your feet to find the swimming pool
[Verse 2]
But I don't wish that I was dead
Now a very old friend of mine once said
That either way you look at it
You have your fits, I have my fits but feeling is good
Confusion's not a kidney stone in my brain
But if we're miscommunicating, do we feel the same?
Then either way you look at it
You have your fits, I have my fits but feeling is good
[Chorus]
So I duck out and go down to find the swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet your feet, I'll find the swimming pool
'Cause when I'm snuffed out I doubt I'll find a swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street, I'll wet my feet to find the swimming pool
[Bridge]
And you can laugh a little
And you can laugh a little bit
And you can laugh a little
And you can laugh a little bit
And you can laugh a little
And you can laugh a little bit
And you can laugh a little
And you can laugh a little bit
[Outro]
Tell me
Tell me, tell me why
Tell me
Tell me, tell me why
Tell me
Tell me, tell me why
Tell me
Tell me, tell me
