Animal Collective - Fireworks video

Track #5 (Fireworks) from the album Strawberry Jam (2007) by Baltimore musicians Animal Collective ***** Lyrics: from http://lyricalcollective.wikispaces.com ***** Now it's eight, I've been trying to get that taste off my tongue I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, I feel my pores It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite "What's the day?" "What's you doin'?" "How's your mood?" "How's that song?" Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone And I can't lift you up, my mind is tired It's family beaches that I desire. A sacred night, we'll watch the fireworks. The frightened babies poo They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes I've been eating with a good friend who said "A genie made me out of the earth's skin" But in spite of her she is my birth kin She spits me out in her surly blood rivers All the people life lurk in And dominions of a hot Turk dish If elephants are reaching for our purses Then meet me after the world with the shivers "What's the day?" "What are you doing?" "How's your food?" "How's that song?" Man it passes right by me it's behind me now it's gone I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired It's family beaches that I desire That sacred night where we watched the fireworks They frightened the babies and you know They've got two flashing eyes and If they are color blind, they make me feel That you're only what I see sometimes
