You clean the bathroom
And I do the dishes
I water the lawn
And you feed the fishes
What a neat little domestic life that we live
You change the light bulb and I hold the ladder
I get the frying pan and you mix the batter
What a neat little domestic life that we live

I spent the winter on the verge of a total breakdown while living in norway
I felt the darkness of the black metal bands
But being such a faun of a man
I didn't burn down any old churches
Just slept way too much just slept

My mind rejects the frequency
It's static craziness to me

Everything is falling apart, yes I am
Watching me watch birds, watch people
Watching me watch birds, watch people

I wear my bowtie to bed because I'm waiting for the gorgeous young man
Hiding in the spaces that darkness hides gorgeous young men

Everything is falling apart, yes I am

So much violence in my head, how are we still alive?
The depression is under control, no it's not, don't you ever stop lying? Damn

I love how we're learning from each other
You are such a positive, you're so empowering
In your hands I'm quite simply a different instrument
And you're the only one that ever put money on me
You think that I'd forget so easily?

Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe for animals?
Soft and squishy animated mammals
Tapping so lightly on their teeth with a gun
My god, are they cold?

How will I ever know you enough to love you
If you're hiding who you are?
Don't ask me to explain, don't ask me to explain
Who are you hiding you from
Across the table with a penny in each eye?
Don't ask me to explain, don't ask me to explain

I'd like to marry all of my close friends

All I ever get is sad love
While watching all my friends find their happy love
I don't understand why I should be without love

All I ever get is sad love
Always falling for the ones who feel nothing for me
Sometimes I think I should just forget about love

When you come around, everything else disappears, my ears disappear
When you come around, everything else vanishes
The crowds slowly fade when you come around
Everything evaporates when you come around, around, around

On the news at night, they talk about the disappearances
They interview the people who were witnesses
Most are shocked, some don't care

I don't want you anymore
I don't love you anymore
Go away, go away, go away, go away
You're a bad thing
Terrible thing

You destroy my head
You uncalibrate my skull

The language of the frost lobs dead balloons over ruins today
In view of wan wordless crowds that chase waifs to spires with fiery plumes
And incite the firmament’s portrait of ’A Drowning in Styx’
That gives impotents kicks

Boredom murders the heart of our age while sanguinary creeps take the stage
Boredom strangles the life from the printed page

I want to be your love
I want to make you cry
And sweep you off your feet

I want to hurt your pride
I want to slap your face
I want to paint your nails
I want to make you scream

Scientists are nihilists with good imaginations

I am satisfied hiding in our friend's apartment
Only leaving once a day to buy some groceries
Daylight, I'm so absent minded, nighttime meeting new anxieties
So am I erasing myself? Hope I'm not erasing myself

I guess it would be nice to give my heart to a God

I'm in a crisis
I need help
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on mood shift, shift back to good again
Come on, be a friend

Nina Twin is trying to help, and I
Really hope that she succeeds

(Oh yeah)
(Is my cord dragging in the water?)
(Looks good!)

Ooh ahh (4x)

He's just a slutty little flirt and sister he's only gonna hurt you (watch yourself)
Ladies I'm screaming out to you from the depths of this phallocentric tyranny

It's easy to sleep when you're dead but you're unable to touch your loved ones, give them kisses or see them smile at you
It's easy to sleep when you're dead but you give up your whole life's work
and you can't revers the bad things that you did

While alive you still have hope that when you die you are dead
and you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better
I hope it's better

Jennifer Louise you don’t know me but we’re cousins
your mamamama and my mamamama are sisters
Jennifer Louise I haven’t seen you since I was a kid
when my family spent the weekend at your house
and your father helped when my eyelashes stuck together


My mom told me that now

I saw your movie tonight
I thought you were pretty good
I'm so happy that you're doing what you want to

You go to your favorite dark place
Think about the auto-da-fé
Unicorns eating baby meat
There's a dragon rape if you want one

My lover, I've been donating
Time to review
All the misinterpretations
That define me and you

I'm thinking about you
In my secret language
Because I know you're the only one

OF MONTREAL LYRICS
"Obsidian Currents"

You like to think that you can
Live beyond good and evil
Amputated from humanity
On some lifelong intellectual retreat

Oslo in the summertime; nobody can fall asleep, staring out the window from my bed.
At 4 A.M., the sun is up. Look, the sky is peppered with sea birds and with crows all cackling.

Up in treten Heimdalsgate, me and Nina making fun of footballers in Rudolf Nilsen Plass.
I practice my Norwegian on poor befuddled waitresses, who shake their heads completely at a loss.
Oslo in the summertime -- the streets are strangely quiet 'cause everyone's away on holiday.

Oslo in the summertime; Pakistani children play locked inside of the courtyard all day.

Pancakes for one are always depressing
because having breakfast with you was such fun
Pancakes for one are no fun

Cocktails for one are never enchanting
because having drinks with you was such fun
Cocktails for one are no fun no fun no fun

So we've been clinging to us, one hand on the edge
Shit, don't you think I know this planet is an orphanage?
Deep abandonment issues at our core
But if not each other, what the hell else do we have to really live for, my love?
I gave my second heart, my second youth to you
What do you think it will feel like if we're really through?
And you stay here, I'll find a new home
Death like Holiday City, in vacant cinemas all alone

Lover face, I'll view you as the revolver
Introduced in my play, act one
Lover face, wanna make you ejaculate
Until it's no longer fun

I confess to really being quite charmed
By your feminine effects

You hit me so hard like a Wong Kar Wai beginning
I'm exploding in smiles my equilibrium is spinning

Rapture rapes the muses
but you don't notice till it's kissing you
Rapture rapes the muses
and the void that's left confuses
It's confusing

When I met you, I was just a kid
Hadn't built up my defenses
So I gave my heart completely
Vaseline over the lenses

Memories don't go away
I remember every day

"Sirens Of Your Toxic Spirit"

What I recall
Remembered past is insanity
And the clatter

Misapprehensions of
Killing you but not

Sleeping in the beetle bug with a hundred pounds of air in my heart
Don't think that I'm able to sympathize, I'm happier to see it gone
Floating above your house like a penguin dropping cherries from my mouth
Tapping the walnuts and the shadows out of a dreaming pair of brown eyed ghosts

In each of your eyes I saw it's spring
Where every mouth wakes up
To a smile and a yawn, grass is long and laughs

I ate people who think they "knew me when"
As if I was once true and now am false
A personality is a progression
Some wild twisting beast that never stops escaping from itself

In the ghetto of winter
I traced my hand on a placemat
Drew your face with my eyes closed

The past is a grotesque animal
And in its eyes you see
How completely wrong you can be
How completely wrong you can be

The sun is out, it melts the snow that fell yesterday
Makes you wonder why it bothered

The creator of what’s now cliché had some funny words to say
”All you little things are incomplete”
why did he speak of us that way?
I don’t cry not ’cause I don’t care
It’s very hard to feel the way we used to feel up there
The creator of what’s now cliché
Wants us little things to cry and feel alone

Tim, wish you were born a girl, wish you were born a girl
So I could've been your boyfriend
I know it's not possible now, I just never met a girl
I like half as much as you
And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day
Or at least until the afternoon
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem

Something's terrorized my psyche to get even
Lately you're the only human I believe in
I tried to understand his logic
But there's just no pattern there
No sympathetic voices anywhere
There's blood in my hair

Now I'm considered ugly from every angle

Now a man loving a woman that's a very common thing
Common but beautiful all the same
Still there's something very neat, something so extraordinarily sweet
With a man who's in love with a man

I have nothing to say about the traditional ways
They're fine if they work well for you
But there is something so right so completely out of sight

Larry when you're loved like you are you won't ever feel alone
You won't be left alone when you're loved like you are
Larry when you're loved like you are people think of you and smile
They think of you and their glad so they smile when you're loved like you are

We will be with you that means you will be with us, too

Larry when you're loved like you are everything falls into place

I'm a mother fucking headliner, bitch, you don't even know it
(Process it)
I'm a mother fucking headliner, bitch, you don't even know it

Why's it white girls don't ever have any ideas'
and they don't even know
what's on my channel
But that's true for almost everyone

Can't survive another compound day
When my spirit has so much pain
So much bitterness, so much bitterness
I need to teach myself to feel again
Somehow I lost the thread of being human
Wrapped in all this bitterness, so much bitterness
I'm so confused, what is the motion of this ego sickness?
Uselessly believe in myself, hatred?

Let's have bizarre celebrations
Let's forget who forget what forget where
We'll have bizarre celebrations
I'll play the satyr in Cyprus you the bride being stripped bare

Let's pretend we don't exist
Let's pretend we're in Antartica
[2X]

The sacrifice must be for some long dead deity, baby
I just can't get hard for reality, at least not mine
Your love charity is like an immortal bleeding beast and peerless
Can't seem to motivate my heart to function
This age is a bitch that burns our dreams so mercilessly, we can only turn away
I wonder can I produce enough heat to keep our experiment alive
I turned you off 'cause I couldn't cope seeing the disappointment in your eyes

The sacrifice must be for some unknwon deity, babe I just can't get hard for reality
At least not mine
Your love charity is like
an immortal bleeding beast and here
Is it to motivate my heart to function?
This age is a bitch that burns our dreams, so musn't you leave
Can only turn away
I wonder can I produce some of heat

I can see that you're rubbing off on everyone you know
You're rubbing off on me, I can feel your incredible glow
I can hear your happy voice in other people's voices
I can hear your beautiful voice sometimes when I speak

You've got a special gift, do you see how you're changing the world
Just by hanging around, just by hanging around, just by hanging around?
