Of Montreal - Amphibian Days lyrics

rate me

In the pen with the mastiffs bred to fight rats in the bowels of the arena

I received a kiss without promise that produced deformities of happiness

The laughter there is viscous it leaves a residue down the legs of the chairs

Since you lost the will to hear they get your attention grabbing fistfuls of your hair

These amphibian days they will not heel you

You can’t define, defining flaw of your generation

Aaaah, aaah, aah, aah

The Heavens vomited the dawn upon us as we learned how to occupy photographs

She descended a stairway composed of silk and flicked her cigarette

As I sweat through my black hex I saw you two climax in spasms through a frosted window

You both came in electronics and anthem bursts of unsanitary flames

These amphibian days they will not heel you

You can’t define, defining flaw of your generation

Aaaah, aaah, aah, aah

If this is Tartars which of us is Echidna which one Arakiel?

This bastard conveyance of extinct emotions that we know only in our cells

I labour to tempt you out of your cage and into my petrol

Until this vessel lands I have decided to ignore all impulse control

These amphibian days they will not heel you

You can’t define, defining flaw of your generation

Aaaah, aaah, aah, aah
