Animal Collective - Alvin Row lyrics

Baby, love me now that you are born, oh! Baby! Baby in your cradle look at me Baby speak in rhythms now you're three Ride your German Shepherd 'till you're five Baby think the TV is alive Baby spend the night out you're thirteen Bending for a wish your candles lean Baby bang erasers and wash the board Think just yesterday you wore a sword Watch your new years evening wash away You're on the floor, can you hear me troubadour? Alvin row tangled in your broken kite It's hard to be Ben Franklin but Try staying against the light Old clapper you can step inside Accustomed to the rust your silver child Alvin Row, we're glad to see that you can fake it White corn grow on every side But you can't take it, the yellow wardrobes suits you fine Alvin all these visions smile, let them do your makeup I know Alvin Row, half of them are on your side The other figments all are being completely unselfish today And all behind the right man here My mind is not unkind it's just not open Alvin Row, I watched the mime crying his winches Brown black bag, we'll let you be until you'll fade Now fade, now fade, now fade, now... Tired of reaching for the lampshade, baby reading, baby love me Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun! I told the baker's daughter that I didn't want the water She only likes it when I beg, so I expect she's waiting I told the baker's daughter that I didn't want their water She only likes it when I beg, so I expect she's waiting Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Row Alvin I remember the day that I walked away from this empty flight 'Cause the demons are really the ones when there's nothing on Words slip by when I'm silent I have to let so many people down But the bell from the ice cream man comes to save the day The winter comes, we do not wander, I belong The chocolate shakes, the sun awakes, I play ping pong The autumn clouds distort and crowd, you'd better go long I pulled the gla** it dripped too fast for second dawn Since we pa**ed through the maze as we unlock the stage of my other ride I remember the shining, the spot on the day she played Though I never knew Moses I know many noses with thoughts like me Take a drive to the Jacksonville pharmacy and pretend That a new apartment and a heart don't make me old 'Cause a spinal rage and lit a page and I've been told But I'm walking on a wire with eight other eyes Be sure to play the best of you eight other sides When I'll stay shy, you stay shy, dear Alvin When I'll say bye, you say bye, dear Alvin When I'll say go, you say go, dear Alvin When I sing Row, you sing Row, dear Alvin When I'll stay shy, you stay shy, dear Alvin When I'll say bye, you say bye, dear Alvin When I'll say go, you say go, dear Alvin When I'll sing Row, you sing Row, dear Alvin When I'll say go, you say go, dear Alvin Why that's funny! My voice didn't come back to me. I'll try it again. Hello? Hello?! Oh my goodness!!!! Now my singing voice is gone! ...My singing voice is gone! ...My singing voice is gone! ...My singing voice is gone! ...My singing voice is gone! ...My singing voice is gone! ...My singing voice is gone! ...My singing voice is...
