《The Past Is a Grotesque Animal(Live)》歌词

[00:00:09] The Past Is A Grotesque Animal - Of Montreal

[00:02:23] The past is a grotesque animal

[00:02:27] And in its eyes you see

[00:02:32] How completely wrong you can be

[00:02:38] How completely wrong you can be

[00:02:47] The sun is out it melts the snow that fell yesterday

[00:02:52] Makes you wonder why it bothered

[00:03:05] I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met

[00:03:11] Who could appreciate George Bataille

[00:03:17] Standing at a Swedish festival

[00:03:21] Discussing Story of the Eye

[00:03:27] Discussing Story of the Eye

[00:03:34] It's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you

[00:03:40] How can I explain I need you here and not here too

[00:03:50] How can I explain I need you here and not here too

[00:03:58] I'm flunking out I'm flunking out

[00:04:01] I'm gone I'm just gone

[00:04:04] But at least I author my own disaster

[00:04:15] At least I author my own disaster

[00:04:22] Performance breakdown and I don't want to hear it

[00:04:28] I'm just not available

[00:04:32] Things could be different but they're not

[00:04:41] Things could be different but they're not

[00:04:46] The mousy girl screams Violence violence

[00:04:49] The mousy girl screams Violence violence

[00:04:52] She gets hysterical 'cause they're both so mean

[00:04:58] And it's my favorite scene

[00:05:04] But the cruelty's so predictable

[00:05:09] Makes you sad on the stage

[00:05:13] Though our love project has so much potential

[00:05:18] But it's like we weren't made for this world

[00:05:22] Though I wouldn't really

[00:05:23] want to meet someone who was

[00:05:34] Do I have to scream in your face

[00:05:38] I've been dodging lamps and vegetables

[00:05:43] Throw it all in my face I don't care

[00:05:48] Let's just have some fun let's tear this shit apart

[00:05:53] Let's tear the fucking house apart

[00:05:56] Let's tear our fucking bodies apart

[00:06:01] Let's just have some fun

[00:06:10] Somehow you've red-rovered

[00:06:13] the gestapo circling my heart

[00:06:16] And nothing can defeat

[00:06:17] you no death no ugly world

[00:06:22] You've lived so brightly you've altered everything

[00:06:28] I find myself searching for old selves

[00:06:32] While speeding forward through

[00:06:34] the plate glass of maturing cells

[00:06:51] I've played the unraveler the parhelion

[00:06:57] But even Apocalypse is fleeting

[00:07:00] there's no death no ugly world

[00:07:03] Sometimes I wonder

[00:07:05] if you're mythologizing me like I do you

[00:07:14] Mythologizing me like I do you

[00:07:20] We want our film to be beautiful not realistic

[00:07:26] Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams

[00:07:31] You can betray me you can

[00:07:37] You can betray me

[00:07:45] Teach me something wonderful

[00:07:48] Crown my head crowd my head

[00:07:51] with your lilting effects

[00:07:52] Project your fears on to me I need to view them

[00:07:57] See there's nothing to them

[00:08:00] I promise you there's nothing to them

[00:08:09] I'm so touched by your goodness

[00:08:12] You make me feel so criminal

[00:08:15] How do you keep it together

[00:08:19] I'm all all unraveled

[00:08:26] But you know no matter where we are

[00:08:30] We're always touching by underground wires

[00:08:57] I've explored you with the detachment of an analyst

[00:09:03] But most nights we've raided the same kingdoms

[00:09:09] And none of our secrets are physical

[00:09:13] None of our secrets are physical

[00:09:19] None of our secrets are physical
