Deep Sea Diver

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:00:53 +0000

I’m a deep sea diver with my fins
And underneath your currents I do swim
A baker’s dozen, thirteen pearls
And when I try them on my toes do curl

Cuz you, you’ve got all I want
The car, the house, the dog

Just keep it away
Just keep it away, oh yeah
Just keep it away
Just keep it away, oh yeah

I’m a deep sea diver losing air
And around you laps I swim but you don’t care

Don’t Ask

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:03:21 +0000

It’s a call, I fell into your arms that night, don’t ask
It’s the time we had apart to sort things out, just don’t ask
It’s the work, you say you’re doing, but baby I don’t even ask
It’s the love, that came undone between us, but nobody ever asks

Nobody ever asks…
Ahhhh, Ahhh…

There’s a place and time for everything I know, don’t ask
But when I’m around you still I lose control, just don’t ask
You suggest the struggle goes both ways, but baby I don’t even ask
I just wish you’d have a little faith, but I’m learning not to ask

But I’m learning not to ask…

Alligator

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:00:41 +0000

It’s a fear, it is near, the shape becomes ever clear
It bears teeth extra sharp that’ll cut you in the heart
It attacks really quick, try and fight with a stick
There’s no use, give it up, this is life and this is love…

You are my alligator, You are my alligator…

Campfire

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:59:43 +0000

You made a campfire, I put it out…I put it out
Let the long johns, fall down
Around your ankles and your toes
I know what I want to see
Lay there by the fire…
By the fire…
By the fire…

There’s a touch of you I think I can see (repeat)
Byyyyyyyy, the campfire (background repeat)

Shift

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:58:39 +0000

Baby I’ve got silver and I’ve got gold
But when push comes to shove this is getting old

I wouldn’t have it any other way
No I wouldn’t have it any other way
No I wouldn’t have it any other way

(whistling)
And when you come I’ll be there…
There…
There…

Disappearing Act

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:57:28 +0000

My lord, the devil carried off my donkey
Deeply, affected by the girl’s beauty
Sleeping, dew on the meadows I’m dreaming
This is everything I see
Flight

Nightfall, sundrise is already upon us
Searching, the palace is our only harbor
I have begun to see just what the dream means
And it’s everything
Inside

We have seen the end and it’s coming
The cave did lead us clearly to something
It is the time to rest our heads downward
To end this quest
Now

Fix It

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:56:41 +0000

My chest hurts a lot tonight
Maybe you can fix that
My chest hurts a lot tonight

I fell on a car again
Maybe you can fix that
I fell on a car again

And when I walk on by, I see you waving…

Oooohhh….

Nothing ever feels the same
Maybe you can fix that
Nothing ever feels the same

(in background repeated twice): Cum again all over me, I swear I’ll change just wait and see, and if I don’t please make amends with everything we had again

I swear it was just a game
I’ll have to fix that
I swear it was just a game

Ooooohhh…
Ahhh, Ahhhh….
Just fix it for meeeeee (x6)

Merge

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:55:13 +0000

Stuck on the fence with you
This I’m always prone to do
Forge, something new
And leave it all behind with you
And leave it all behind with you

Back at the front of the lane
Passing all those boys, again
I shift through you
And leave it all behind, it’s true
And leave it all behind it’s true

A Good Place

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:54:08 +0000

I woke up understated, a simple feeling aimed at you
And my loves gone underrated, a simple feeling aimed at you

And it took me ages, to figure out, what I was supposed to know
All the sordid details, of your final blow by blow

This is a hymn for you, this is a song for you (repeat until end of song)

Showcase

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:52:19 +0000

When I came to you I, saw a light of understanding
Maybe, you are only, left with that tree
That tree…

Bum, bum, bum, bum…

Ooooh…
I have, a lot of things to
Share with you
You

Tonight, tonight, haaaaaight, aaaahhh… haaaaaaaa, aaaa

When you, were the showcase
There was action, all over me
Now that, we are backstage
There’s a lot, a looooot, a loooot of things to referee
To referee…
To referee…
Referee…

La Duchess Anne

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:51:39 +0000

The war broke out, and I dropped by camera
Causing the flash to jam
The leopard print, at La Duchess Anne
The fat ten-year old, we had
Serve us dinner, at the café downstairs
The TV was on, we got lots of cold glares

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (etc)

Even the sex, couldn’t make up for all the rest
And when we opted to fuck, over watching
Filtered smut on the TV set
I realized I’ve had it so good

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (etc)

And after all the mess I’ve made this far
I broke the latch inside your favorite, favorite car
And now you have to crawl across the passenger’s seat
(just to get out)
Don’t you realize, how good you’ve had it?
How good I’ve had it?
How good you’ve had it?
(repeated until end)

Eavesdropping

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:50:04 +0000

I saw you, leave the house last night
You rounded the bend, came across the porch and stood tight
And I have reason to believe
That you were eavesdropping on me
That you were eavesdropping on me

On me
On me
On me
On me

Service Bell

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:49:29 +0000

I keep a service bell by my bed for you
Let the others do what they do

I will hold on (x8)
For you

I keep a service bell by my bed for you

This Song

Grizzly Bear — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 11:48:04 +0000

It’s amazing all the things you said about us
It’s amazing, but true
And it’s amazing that I can still sing this song
So simply about you

Because after all it is just one of those things
Because after all it is just one of those things

And it’s amazing how I can still sing this song
So simply about you
