April And The Phantom - Animal Collective

When April passes by, she thinks of saying bye

She tells her mother, I am not afraid

Of dying in the bath, or swinging from up here

She asks her mother if she slept with strangers

Phantom was the bright way out

Of all the things her mother said

And whisper to her scream

Autumn in my green

December, hello frost

Her mother would say

«Dad, I don’t know where April went»

She ran out in nature

She ran out in nature

She ran out in nature

She ran out in nature, Ah

She ran out in nature

(She ran out in nature)

I found the Phantom would go

Across the river and hide from all the suffering

(She ran out in nature)

Like the shades of trees

Take off my dress and flow into the stuff we’re in

(She ran out in nature)

What’d she find?

(She ran out in nature)

Where’d she go?

(She ran out in nature)

Phantom light

(She ran out in nature)

Take her home

Everybody wants it

Ah, can’t you see me waste it?

She ran out in nature

She ran out in nature

(She ran out in nature)

We’ve gotta buy our land

When they go out and take all the stuff we’re in

(She ran out in nature)

We’ve got neither reaching for the stars

And beg and keep us suffering

(She ran out in nature)

What’d she find?

(She ran out in nature)

Where’d she go?

(She ran out in nature)

Can’t somebody

(She ran out in nature)

Take her home?

Everybody wants it

Ah, can’t you see me waste it?

I finally see a baby girl

I’m sorry April, but you’ll be fine 'til then

I’m the Phantom

I’m the Phantom

I’m the Phantom

When I sleep around, and you’re on top

A frenzy April, then we ride again

I’m the Phantom

I’m the Phantom

I’m the Phantom

And in the end, your mother knows

I’m sorry April, but a child grows

I’m the Phantom

I’m the Phantom

I’m the Phantom

I am…

Watch me as I lead the way

From infancy to grown up babies

Phantom, please put on your make-up

I am breathing, I’ll keep calling

Phantom, you’re alright and naked

Have your baby, I’ll keep calling

I’m not right, I’m not faking

I am burning, and I’m shaking

April, no, it’s just a spirit

I am there, end is nearing

April and the Phantom

They were just like lovers

Always sneaking kisses for the weekend

Everything’s just okay with me

Everything’s just alright with

April and the Phantom spoke in secret code

Until they buried Phantom by the road

Everything’s just alright with me

Everything’s just alright with Phantom

Everything’s just alright with me

Everything’s just alright with Phantom

Everything’s just alright with me

Everything’s just alright with Phantom

Everything’s just alright with me

Everything’s just alright with Phantom

Everything’s just alright with me

Everything’s just alright with me
