Songtext Animal midnight Stephen Malkmus

Animal midnight

Sacrifice for you is 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 feeds 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
Because you
You won't change
You
You don't see me
Because you
You won't change

With your big old Russian (rushin'?) brain
To keep you ahead of the stoplights

You to me is like carbon dioxide
You know I won't be your frozen rose
Why don't you just let me get up, yeah
Before you do the rowdy, rowdy, rowdy rough?

Reach, reach
Cut it, cut it
Reach, bleach
Stud it, stud it
Sneech, reach
Nut it, nut it
Bleach, beach

Where will we fall
Where will we fall
Where will we fall
Before the darkness hits

Animal midnight
A shit for a brain
Crawl up a leech line
Shocking to me in the yellow and blue
Is it piss?
Is it sky?
Is it why we try?

You
You don't see me
Because you
You won't change
You
You don't see me
Because you
You won't change
