Animal Collective - De Soto De Son Lyrics

Baby canteen, when I thought your heart stopped beating
The room brought out the silence in your breathing
A birth in wooded housing will help you live beyond the numbers
Let us pray to pan, let in the light and see us

Bathe and sleep among us, smell the body of our elders
And wake up to the milky way at breakfast
I'll take the time to pick up all the widow maker's broken
No real way to remember if we'll work again

Color people say, oh no
'Cause they think it's contagious
Marshmallow people say, oh yeah
'Cause they think it's a masterpiece

The sky has brakes
What a good way to rise
De Soto De Son will probably take all day
[Incomprehensible] goodbye

Blue heron, goodbye, green fly, goodbye, goodbye
I've got a raft, you'll sail till the open
Lie in the lake while your body is broken

When you go out I'll cry in the thicket
Shooting from school there's a green where the crickets cry
Mom can't breathe and I know that she's leaving

The birds of a quay are all good for the crocodile
So slow it down, it's not a race
Death takes time, death takes time, do you see it?
Death takes time, do you see it?
Death takes time, do you see it?

Baby canteen, swollen fingers in the water
I roped an island pony for your birthday
I'll live in wooded housing till they put out all your needles
And drop you in and shelter near the highway

Color people say, oh no
'Cause they think it's contagious
Marshmallow people say, oh yeah
'Cause they think it's a masterpiece
