Of Montreal - Obsidian Currents lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

You like to think that you can live beyond good and evil

Amputated from humanity on some lifelong intellectual retreat

Everything is conceptual and all is rhetorical

You can feel so powerful when you're forced to face the physical world

You scurry like an insect

(Chorus)

There is a virus in your tenets

Don't be naive! Even though it's true

And if you don't protect yourself

Obsidian currents, obsidian currents

Will devour you!

Ah, ah, ah, ooooh, ooooh

(Verse 2)

You have committed yourself, holly to the dominion of semantics and ideas

All things cerebral and abstract, with no patience for impractical emotions

Burning everyone who ever try to get close to you

But you're so lizard like you don't

Feel any passion for anyone but yourself

(Chorus)

There is a virus in your tenets

Don't be naive! Even though it's true

And if you don't protect yourself

Obsidian currents, obsidian currents

Will devour you!

Ah, ah, ah, ooooh, ooooh
