DAWN

I see you at my window,
Your light upon my floor
Is calling to me softly
To come unbolt the door.
One Lovely little minute,
Then you fade away.
You are but a moment here
And then comes day.

Music and Lyrics
by Animal Collective

from Sung Tongs 2024

hungry bread and butter hustle
you’ll be doin’ it a while it is only fair
where’s your relaxation?
where’s the time required for your health?
been hatin’ on my new perspective
been hurrin’ along no meal is ever done

you could win a rabbit
you have a rabbit
or if the fast child is gona have a dead hand
we can get him started yeah!

bad mind let me put on good habits
been workin’ can’t put on good habits
sometimes I can’t find my good habits

spanish bands use all the echo
persian kitties better stay out of the train
glad you brought your food on
eat it like it’s gona get away
your coffee sure is gettin’ colder
the seats are gettin’ fewer space is loosing place

you could win a rabbit
you could blow an island through the rib

wabbit or a habbit
habbit or a rib
rabbit or a habbit
habbit or a rib
rabbit or habbit
