Animal Collective - Safer (Malta Festival 2006)

Why am I so scared That the shadows on the wall from yesterday... I turn and tell my dad I saw ghosts in the park wooing girls with cakes And their moms are scared 'Cause they haven't been home in two or three days Wind blows trees through the tops of my hair I saw wolves in the fog, I can see through the rain Oh, man and things have changed In the snow filled lake where there used to be waves I feel deranged They're building beaches inside so it's sunny all May I don't know, I think it's strange 'Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it I don't know if there's any real danger But the creatures all know that it's safer in the dark Why am I so scared Of explosions going off just any old way I turn, ask is it that bad They say we've much bigger problems, we got wolves on the plane And they left their den 'cause the cracks in the pipe's shootin' murky grays They're running just as fast as the hares They say you shouldn't leave a place if you can eat there Oh, man, and things have changed In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves I feel deranged They're building beaches inside so it's sunny all May I don't know, I think it's strange 'Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it I don't know if there's any real danger But I'm alright if you're alright I'm alright if you're alright... She dabs her diamonds so they Look like a decoy lover Many fine costumes but they're not like mine He said I'd kiss you, sometimes I Don't wanna kiss you, don't mean I Don't like to kiss you, just means these lips are mine He kept on jerking, he kept on working He got wrapped up in lovin' but We opened him just in time He said don't make your problems my funny problems Because I've got problems but I'll cover them up in time Don't make your troubles my funny troubles Because I've got troubles Why you talk about 'em all the time Like crocodiles, Sometimes I wanna eat him Sometimes I just wanna meet him for a Good meal but to eat you better win so loud Like crocodiles, Sometimes he just wanna basement Sometimes, man, he can never take it when he's Down I look at you, he's deep inside his mind Thinking about torture Don't let it get you down There's other ways to fight torture I hope it gets you 'round Shake it off with me Man, now don't get too freaky on me 07.01.06 Malta Festival
