We Are Scientists - The Great Escape

I’m making my escape,
Making my escape
I tell myself that everything’s in shape
Everything’s in shape, but me
How long can we stay,
How long can we stay?
I tell myself that everything is great
Everything is great,
Well how am I doing?

I’ve got a great idea
I’m going to wait right here
I’ve got a great idea
I’m going to wait right here
While everything is adding
Up, up, up
Everything is adding
Up, up, up

Breaking both my hands,
Breaking both my hands
Telling me to ‘take it like a man’
Take it like a man, I can’t
I don’t understand, I don’t understand
Please repeat whatever you just said
Nothing’s making sense,
Well how am I doing?

I’ve got a great idea
I’m going to wait right here
I’ve got a great idea
I’m going to wait right here
While everything is adding
Up, up, up
Everything is adding
Up, up, up

They’re breaking both my hands,
They’re breaking both my hands
They’re telling me to ‘take it like a man’
Take it like a man, well fuck that
I don’t understand, said,
I don’t understand
So please repeat whatever you just said
‘Cause nothing’s making sense,
Well how am I doing?

Liars - Houseclouds

Shattered pieces on the stitches of our underfoot
You’re impatient from the prophecies we undertook
Our plan to sacrifice this drive
You say goodbye. Goodbye

We should wait until they arrive
To open the door on another life

We’ve been waiting for this all our lives
We should wait until they arrive
I won’t be gone

I won’t be gone / We’ve just begun / I won’t be gone

Do you think about the rubbish and intolerance?
Are you sick of shiny sabre-tooth [?]
Our sights are right between our eyes
We say goodbye

We should wait until they arrive
Before we take these pills and end our lives
I won’t be gone

Animal Collective - Leaf House

This house is sad,
Because he’s not
tidy,

Good dogs go by
When someone comes,
To go gone, gone, gone

There’s no one, there’s no one,
There’s no one, no one
There’s no one, there’s no one,
There’s no one, no one

To say meow, kitties,

Meow, kitties
Meow, kitties
