Unsolved Mysteries
Animal Collective Lyrics
Oh look at me
That sweet boy's plea
His mother cried
"My child's tied his laces"
Why must we move on
From such happy lawns
Into nostalgia's palm
And feed on the traces
We all hop to the dance
Who should have knees
That go to sleep
That blood in the dark
Will attract the sharks
Who are not violent
We all have hungry bellies
But I feel like I've got to duck
When you look at me with your brown eyes
When you look at me with your blue eyes
And you look at me with the inner eye
And all was tame
And all was daggers anyway
Stop crying like a child
And all was green
And all was aging anyway
Stop growing in the wild
But I feel like I've got to duck
When you look at me with your green eyes
When you look at me with your black eyes
And you look at me with your dead eyes
And I can understand
When holding her hand
So womanly
I have to go and kiss her
And what a surprise
To look in those eyes
And find suddenly
He is Jack the Ripper
Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper
Stop crying like a child
She stopped crying like a child
Jack the Ripper

"Oh look at me", that sweet boy's plea
His mother cried, "My child's tied his laces"
Why must we move on from such happy lawns
Into nostalgia's palm and feed on the traces
Do you hop to the dance or embarrass the parents?
Who should I please? I go to sleep worrying
That blood in the dark will attract the sharks
Who are not violent we all got hungry bellies
But where are the still unborn who could look at me with the one eye
Who could look at me with no eyes
Who could look at me with me in their eyes
What's pain? What's sadness anyway? It's not crying like a child
What's graying? What's aging anyway? It's not growing in the wild
I feel like I've just been born
When you look at me with your green eyes
When you look at me with your black eyes
When you look at me with your dead eyes
And I can't understand when holding her hand
So womanly, I have to go and kiss her
And what a surprise to look in those eyes
To find suddenly he is Jack, the Ripper
Too suddenly he was Jack, the Ripper
He stopped crying like a child
She stopped crying like a child
Jack, the Ripper [x3]
