Parquet Courts - Sunbathing Animal Lyrics
[Verse 1]One creature I return to, one habit I neglectI cannot slow the pace at which I yearnFrank and unabashed I become a frozen servantSmiling asking nothing in returnFang-tooth woman foaming at the mouth as she addressed meNot with moving lips, but with the rabid wild arrestingWords not yet intended to identify emotionScrawling bold and oblique in my headI've hung out at your service jobsI've watched you, waited and be ignoredBled into the clatter, as they sipped at what you pouredI cling to your perimeter as you float in their marginsOblivious to being stung, there satellite becomes my sonI've flown into that trap beforeWhen things have gotten darkIn the depths of strangers glances lies the most ferocious spark[Verse 2]Most freedom is deceivingIf such a thing existsWhen I was young I knew but didn't careFaces change and shape to represent the same old beastI want to flee but I can only stareIt's the sound a captive heart makes as it sizzles into vaporThe title hum of fondness like a spike-wave oscillatorThe rabid UV grin that beckons me into approachingGrasping as it recedes into spaceWho greets me first when I ariseWho breaking into my half shut eyesIt's in the blaze of your embrace where I feel more real and aliveThe bosom of 1000 watts into my skin into my gutsRunning circles so proud until he got caughtIn his brief emancipation he can feel what I cannot[Verse 3]There's a patch of light that hits the floor I'll often occupyStretch my arms and legs and close my eyesI now can hear my pulse alone, this manic pace I cannot slowI do not miss the child you stoleFrying and abiding, I'm in your controlLike a sunbathing animalA sunbathing animalA sunbathing animalA sunbathing animalA sunbathing animalA sunbathing animalA sunbathing animalA sun
