Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks
"Animal Midnight"


sacrifice for you was just flirtation
and friendship a cold convenience
i wonder sometimes what you're made of
is it rayon or is it dust?
how you calibrate your intuition
such that it just beats the kill
and every single night i try to make you come alive
you shove it right back in my face
and you, you don't see me
cause you won't change
you, it don't seem to me
that your big old Russian brain can keep you ahead of the stoplights
you to me is like carbon dioxide
you know I won't be your frozen rose
but why don't you just let me get up yeah
before you do the rowdy rowdy rowdy rowdy rough
reach reach grab it grab it bleach bleach stab it stab it
seech reach nab it nab it bleach bleach
where will we fall where will we fall for the darkness if
animal midnight a shit for a brain
crawl up a leech line shot into me in the yellow and blue
is it piss is it sky is it why we try
and you, you don't see me
cause you, you won't change
you, you don't see me
because you, you you you you won't change you won't change
