Of Montreal - You've Got A Gift Lyrics

You've Got A Gift Lyrics - Of Montreal

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?


I can see how you sweetened up
Both of your grumpy roommates.
Now they even say hello
When we pass on the street.
I find joy in simple things ever since I met you.
I never get the chance just to tell you
How out of sight you are.


You've got a special gift.
Do you see how you're changing the world
Just by hanging around?

Of Montreal - Your Magic Is Working Lyrics

Your Magic Is Working Lyrics - Of Montreal

Baby your magic is working
I lose control of myself when ever you are near me
I feel myself changing
From a guy too cynical for love
into a blushing romantic
Oh honey I'd swim across the Atlantic
just to be near to you I'm hopping like a kangaroo
Baby your magic is working
all of my friends think I'm mad
'cause I talk of nothing but you girl
How you've really changed me
for a guy thought too cynical for love
You've proven everyone wrong
anywhere with you girl is where I belong
Everything is beautiful and you are the reason
Lately I've been so happy
just holding you and gazing into your eyes
like in a movie
You are a star…I mean a starlet,
listen the night we met I fell in love with you
Who'd have guessed who'd have guessed
I'm in love I'm in LOVE!!!
How you've really changed me
from a guy thought too cynical for love
Suddenly I feel as light as a butterfly
and wanting to give love another try
Everything is beautiful and you are the reason
Baby your magic is working
my mirror's reflection is you
looking coquet and smirking
Now your magic is working

Of Montreal - You Are An Airplane Lyrics

You Are An Airplane Lyrics - Of Montreal

Just before the afternoon creeps in
Just before it gets too hot to be outside
I like to lay on my back in the grass and
Watch the airplanes go by and I dream that
You are an airplane shooting across the sky

You are an airplane
You're a strong and dangerous machine
When you fall you'll fall down so fast
When you crash I want to go down with you
We'll make such a horrible mess


Just before the floating eyeball appears
Just before the little birds go to sleep
I like to stand on my head and pretend
That I am a control tower
And that you are an airplane
And I can talk you safely to the ground

The way you live your life makes me nervous
If you were to die
I'd have no reason to be alive
Cause you are my only friend

Of Montreal - Ye, Renew The Plaintiff Lyrics

Ye, Renew The Plaintiff Lyrics - Of Montreal

The sacrifice must be for some long... deity...
Just can't get hard for reality, at least not mine
... is Ike (like?)
... bleeding...
Can't seem to motivate my heart to function
These ages of... burns our dream so... lessly
Can only turn them away
I wonder can we produce summer heat to keep our experiments around the house (?)
I told you that because I couldn't cope seeing the disappointment in your eyes

Oh Nina, how can I defend myself against this world that buries (?) me like a retarded cartoon
It's too sick for salvation but that word is just a joke
Oh Nina, my resistance (red system?) is chaos
I'm desperate for something but there's no human word for it
I should be happy but what I feel is corrupted, broken, inhibited and insane.
Oh Nina, I've become so hateful. How am I ever going to survive this winter?
I can think of nothing but getting my revenge, make those fuckers pay,
But it's not gonna happen
And it's eating a hole in me.

In our heart we can see his suffering, repeat our soulful session (soul concession?), too far to mention.

I've inherited some spiritual sanctions from some old ancestral crime
It was committed long ago but the punishment's absolved all down the family line
Everyone so unstable on my mother's side,
And emotionally bearing on my father's side
But tell me how I can attempt to atone for somebody else's willful ignorance?

Of Montreal - Wraith Pinned To The Mist (And Other Games) Lyrics

Wraith Pinned To The Mist (And Other Games) Lyrics - Of Montreal

Let's have bizarre celebrations
Let's forget who forget what forget where
We'll have bizarre celebrations
I'll play the Satyr in Cypris you the bride being stripped bare
Let's pretend we don't exist
Let's pretend we're in Antartica
Let's have bizarre celebrations
Lets forget when forget what forget how
We'll have bizarre celebrations
We'll play Tristan and Izolde but make sure I see white sails
Maybe I'll never die
I'll just keep growing younger with you
And you'll grow younger too
now it seems too lovely to be true
but I know the best things always do
let's pretend we don't exist
let's pretend we're in Antartica

Of Montreal - Women's Studies Victims Lyrics

Women's Studies Victims Lyrics - Of Montreal

They had painted her face like a man's mistake
Like a mental state, gang-banging
A sad return to the eagle-shaped mirror
I'm the kind of mannequin that cheats and
Opens its eyes to the ladies of the spread

She took me home and spit in my drink
She spoke of Germaine Greer and Friedan
I didn't know what to think
I took her standing in the kitchen, ass against the sink
She draped me in a stoll, what kind?
I think Malaysian mink

Than threw me out into the snow, I waited for the bus
Up come some values voters screaming, are you one of us?
I said of course man, can't you see
I've got some text reconstruction? What does that mean?
No clue, it must be an illicit pentagram
What are you talking about? No clue

I check my shutter speed, my aperture, my domino
Can't focus, can't stop staring at the face I used to know
This life is not a prison, we are always free to go anytime
Chinese stars, Chinese stars, Chinese stars
My 'cuz had the rawest Chinese stars

I'm trying to interface
You met me at such a dismal point on the arc
I think I understand what you were saying
About the smiles of the skulls

The spastic face was the last one, Our luck was white
I read it with my head open, Only slightly cracked
Somebody will have to close it when I'm done
Make the most out of the visuals

While walking through the woods
I noticed someone had built a house
For nobody in particular
They want to destroy us, I know
It's time to penetrate their fantasy

Of Montreal - Wintered Debts Lyrics

Wintered Debts Lyrics - Of Montreal

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?
I can't deal with mourning at the carcass of my failures any longer

Slipping on my own vomit

Tried to call you from a bathroom in South Hollywood,
I was too drunk to formulate any? language, so much bitterness
Too much bitterness
All the people kept saying there is a true belief system
But all my life I've been betrayed by my mother's religion
So much bitterness, too much bitterness

I'm so destroyed what is the purpose of this ego sickness?
Uselessly believe in myself, hatred?
I can't deal with mourning at the carcass of my failures any longer
Any longer

I can't seem to get the saddle
On the spoils of this morbid few
My? of sub-human nature just?
But each dripping all over me
The only regret I have is cherished
Are we posing?

Father, will we starve today? Father will we starve?
Father, will we starve today? Father will we starve?
No, I tried?

It's hard to sympathize
With those who won't fight for themselves
I can't hold both our faces on the flames much longer
The child of our struggle is free
I've fallen out of love with the prisoner
What's to savor?

Of Montreal - Will You Let Me Into Your Dream_ Lyrics

Will You Let Me Into Your Dream? Lyrics - Of Montreal

Will you let me into your dream?
I'm not as cold as I may seem
You look so peaceful without a care
Are things so much nicer in there?
If you let me into your dream would I laugh or would I scream?
Would I be shocked by all that I see?
I just want to know if you're dreaming of me
Your subconscious seems divine and I'm so bored with mine
Do you think maybe we could share is there room for two of us there?
Will you let me into your life?
You be my husband I'll be your wife
I don't care which role that I play I just want to be in your movie everyday
I guess that I would be remiss if I woke you with a kiss
If I was a cat I'd be purring
oh no do I notice you stirring?
Will you let me into your dream
I'll be as silent as a sun beam
I'll be as gentle as Debussy
I just want to know if you're dreaming of me

Of Montreal - Will You Come And Fetch Me_ Lyrics

Will You Come And Fetch Me? Lyrics - Of Montreal

I was gazing in your eyes
seeing butterflies melting on the wall
Strangest thing I saw
clever little guys wonderful surprise
Will you come and fetch me girl from the brink?
I'm starting to kink and I'm too numb to think
If this nightmare can't be stopped
Go out and find me when I'm dropped
Onto a bail of hay looking the other way
from noncoms in machines squeezing tangerines
emitting horrid cries wonderful surprise

Of Montreal - Wicked Wisdom Lyrics

Wicked Wisdom Lyrics - Of Montreal

I'm a motherfucking headliner
Bitch, you don't even know it, process it
I'm a motherfucking headliner
Bitch, you don't even know it

Why is it white girls don't ever have any ideas?
And they don't even know what's on my channel
But that is true for almost everyone, everyone but you
My goat, my crab, my scorpion
You're my icons 'cause you're different, you're different

I love wicked wisdom
Half turn my at two wet come free
Don't send me no more evil visions
They just stab my heart

I'm just a black she-male
And I don't know what you people are all about
What you people are all about
I just know how to make it
Peanut butter, like this

Ooh, just a look at her is god
Can't you see it, baby?
Can't you see it, baby?
Shan't you see it, baby?

Ooh, just a look at her is god
Can't you see it, baby?
Can't you see it, baby?
Shan't you see it, baby?
Snakes

When we get together
It's always hot magic
When we get together
When we get together

When we get together

Champions, my friends

All I care to hear
All them standing gray insects
Inside the house machines
Knowing what's coming next
Something temporary reference
For the other side

All I care to hear
Elitist's commentary
About some fated press limited edition
I hear the toy ball bouncing on
Jihad would do their elegant conceit

All I care to hear
You have such power to destroy
No time to process that now
So iconic in my mind

Of Montreal - When A Man Is In Love With A Man Lyrics

When A Man Is In Love With A Man Lyrics - Of Montreal

Now a man loving a woman that's a very
Common thing common but beautiful all the same
Still there's something so 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
With a man who's in love with a man
Or a woman who's in love with a woman
They should never feel ashamed because it's
So important to do the things we want with
Whoever turns us on
Now a man desiring a woman that's a very
Common thing common and really rather dull
There is something so strange something so
Wonderfully deranged in a man desiring a man
Or a woman desiring a woman....
Men are usually fighting each other that's
Why I think it's so special when a man and
A man are in love It's so good It's so special
Now a man kissing a woman is a very
Common thing common but usually
Quite nice still there is something so fine
Something so beautifly devine In a man
Kissing a man
A man kissing a man

Of Montreal - We Were Born The Mutants Again With Leafling Lyrics

We Were Born The Mutants Again With Leafling Lyrics - Of Montreal

She says i'm boring her camera
Takes more to delight the cadaver
Night eyes on icy patrols,
Your's were not so nazi feline
Mine were as dead as monks
Our particles are in motion

Night eyes reducing ashes
We love to view unfortunate passions
Still she takes my photo to bed
No mere limp verse could incite
Identity destruction
Our particles are in motion

Sometimes we're not legible
But we're the same, stranger animal
Let them say our love is peculiar,
Don't care

There's only now, no ever after
We won't let it end in disaster
You are my twin
No, i will never go there

Of Montreal - We Are Destroying The Song Lyrics

We Are Destroying The Song Lyrics - Of Montreal

If you're feeling old and grey
and the pallet in your hand is Auntie Lime
Remember to curve your virginity
little Chinese titty
If you look for Rick the Third
and acknowledge that he hasn't left a pang
Report him to the Divinity
little Chinese Ricky
The little Chinese Ricky is of foam
and you know that you can Ricky model home
WAIT don't go home
we are performing the song!!!!
If a Bertha had it's mirth
and the sack that held the attic up is torn
Meow meow meow for eternity
little Chinese kitty
The little Chinese Ricky is of foam
and you know that you can Ricky model home
WAIT don't go home
we are destroying the song!!!!

Of Montreal - Was Your Face A Head In The Pillow Case_ Lyrics

Was Your Face A Head In The Pillow Case? Lyrics - Of Montreal

Looking under the ghost on your face
Kind of ruins it for me
I don't want to see you toss it's hair
No I don't need you to show me it's smile


You see because I'm learning
Yes I know about your mask
So I no longer have to ask


If I can peek behind the ghost on your face
That really ruins it for me
I don't want to clap and stare
While you show me the expressions it makes


You see because I'm learning
Yes I know about your mask
So I no longer have to ask
"Was your face a head in the pillow case?"

Of Montreal - Vegan In Furs Lyrics

Vegan In Furs Lyrics - Of Montreal

I used to think it black while at my country seat
Now I'm peaking in so many ways
the gloom is in retreat
Yes the dark epoch is over I've found my efeblum
Then passed Ernst's mausoleum defended by a rook
Who shot a look so virulent it pierced me like a hook
The palaver of Solipsists exploding in my skull
Yeah and we both despise all of the academic swine
Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign
So what if Wednesday finds us
wearing rabies parachutes
Foaming like the melodies of sea foam fairy flutes
The atmosphere is viscous we're sticking to the brine
When the lanterns fill with finches
so begins the brawl
Cause their brains are like porcupines
and mine's a paper ball
I know they don't understand they don't get us at all
Their moss mangles polyanthus
and mine's a paper ball

Tulip Baroo Lyrics - Of Montreal

Tulip Baroo Tulip Baroo
The magnetic rollerskater wears a bonnet of blue
Bonnet of blue
Tulip Baroom though you are four walls
You don't make a room don't make a room


I caught you
Covered in tinsel
Bouncing your eyeballs off a pinstripe piano


Don't you think
That I get lonely too?


Tulip Balanc Tulip Balanc
The mouse caught in the hubcap
Goes clanky clank clank
Clanky clank clank
Tulip Barance the turtle necked boatman
Does the plum dance does the plum dance


I caught you disguised as a man with a mustache
Selling secrets to a canned tomato


Don't you think that I get lonely too?


Tulip Baroo Tulip Baroo
I don't know what to make of you
You're in charge of every coup
That the feds set out to do
Tulip Baroo Tulip Baroo
There's an island off of Spain
Where it's snowing out of season
And they claim it's cause of you
Tulip Baroo


Tulip Baroob Tulip Baroob
The underhanded grocer is soaking a tube
Soaking a tube
Tulip Baraw the ground split wide open
Like a musical saw musical saw

Of Montreal - True Friends Don't Want To Do Things Like That Lyrics

True Friends Don't Want To Do Things Like That Lyrics - Of Montreal

I live my life like I'm reading my own biography
Every night writing my discography
But let's talk about our coy romance
Doesn't it seem like it's always been here
Love I mean, love I mean
Walking around bumping into things
I try to say "Hi" I end up making you cry
True friends don't want to do things like that
True friends don't want to do things like
Live my life like I'm reading my own biography
Every night arranging my own anthology
But let's talk about this crack from which whenever
We're close something yanks us back
It's probably me, its probably me
Stumbling around crashing into things
I try to be sly I end up licking your eye
True friends don't want to do things like that
True friends don't want to do things like that

Of Montreal - Triphallus, To Punctuate! Lyrics

Triphallus, To Punctuate! Lyrics - Of Montreal

She's saying we wear the party
All over our bodies and faces
What allows me to speak in wild abstractions
The senseless killings gifts God gives us
Have no one to love them

It's the kind of thought that kills
You twice on the way down
You might forget them but you're not nice
They don't forget about you

How they claw me in my false or foster reflection
Is that my reflection in the Damascus play?
How they claw me in my foster or false reflection

You should call me sometime
I won't answer but, at least I'll know you care
How will you know it was me?
You think I got caller ID?

Guess I should be happy for you
For your success and all that
But your fame ain't got nothing for us
I supported you, kid, back when no one else did
Oh yeah, Oh yeah

You know I waved your flag
Back when no one else did
I just want things to be the way they used to be
When you only set a place for me

The great chorus of my skull
Is choking on their dulcer tones
Ten lashes on the ass of anyone who even tries
And heaven's patience glaring down at us
Filling your room with black butterflies

You don't have to try to steal
No, nothing from my heart
Because for you anything you want is always free, free, free
Send your freaky fantasies to my phone
Black Converse on and an ice cream cone

Now that I'm not a virgin to you
You'll never walk alone
Far beyond the several years of shame
I live to make you call my name
Call my name

Guess I should be happy for you
For your success and all that
But your fame ain't got nothing for us
I was your booster, babe
Back when no one else cared
Oh yeah, Oh yeah

You know I celebrated you
(I'm hard for you, girl)
Back when no one else even thought to
I just want things to be the way they used to be
When you only saved a seat for me
Come back, come back

I feel so at peace
Why is the sky karma?
I think I'm the one I got from
