Alvin Row
Avey Tare and Panda Bear Lyrics

Baby, love me now that you are born, oh, baby
Love me now that you're alive, my sweet baby

Baby in your cradle look at me
Look at me, lying in your crib, baby

Baby speak in rhythms now you're three
Speak in rhythms now that you're three years old, baby

Ride your German Shepherd 'till you're five
Ride your German Shepherd until you're five years old, baby

Baby think the TV is alive
Believe that the TV is alive, baby

Baby spend the night out you're thirteen
Stay out all night when you're thirteen, baby

Bending for a wish your candles lean
Make a wish and bend over to blow out the candles, baby

Baby bang erasers and wash the board
Clean the chalkboard by banging erasers, baby

Think just yesterday you wore a sword
Remember when you played with a toy sword just yesterday, baby

Watch your new years evening wash away
Watch your New Year's Eve pass by and fade away, baby

You're on the floor, can you hear me troubadour?
You're lying on the floor, can you hear me singing to you, troubadour?

Alvin row tangled in your broken kite
Alvin Row is caught up in his broken kite

It's hard to be Ben Franklin but Try staying against the light
It's not easy to be like Ben Franklin, but try to stand firmly against the light

Old clapper you can step inside Accustomed to the rust your silver child
Old clapper, you can enter and get used to the rusty state of things, my silver child

Alvin Row, we're glad to see that you can fake it
We're happy to see that you can pretend, Alvin Row

White corn grow on every side But you can't take it, the yellow wardrobes suits you fine
There's white corn growing everywhere, but you can't handle it. You look good in your yellow wardrobe

Alvin all these visions smile, let them do your makeup I know
Alvin, all these visions are smiling at you. Allow them to do your makeup, I understand

Alvin Row, half of them are on your side
Alvin Row, half of these visions are on your side

The other figments all are being completely unselfish today
The other figments are being completely unselfish today

And all behind the right man here My mind is not unkind it's just not open
Supporting the right man here, my mind isn't unkind, just not open

Alvin Row, I watched the mime crying his winches
I watched a mime cry and adjust his winches, Alvin Row

Brown black bag, we'll let you be until you'll fade
We'll leave you alone with your brown black bag until you fade away

Now fade, now fade, now fade, now
Now disappear, now disappear, now disappear, now

Tired of reaching for the lampshade, baby reading, baby love me Run, run, run, run!
Tired of reaching for the lampshade and reading, baby, love me. Run, run, run, run!

I told the baker's daughter that I didn't want the water She only likes it when I beg, so I expect she's waiting
I told the baker's daughter I didn't want the water. She only likes it when I beg, so I assume she's waiting for me to beg

Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Row Alvin
Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, row, Alvin

I remember the day that I walked away from this empty flight 'Cause the demons are really the ones when there's nothing on
I remember leaving this empty flight, because the demons only show up when there's nothing going on

Words slip by when I'm silent I have to let so many people down But the bell from the ice cream man comes to save the day
When I'm silent, words slip away, and I feel like I'm letting so many people down. But the ice cream man's bell saves the day

The winter comes, we do not wander, I belong The chocolate shakes, the sun awakes, I play ping pong
Winter comes, and we don't wander. I belong here. The sun wakes, and I play ping pong while enjoying chocolate shakes

The autumn clouds distort and crowd, you'd better go long I pulled the glass it dripped too fast for second dawn
Autumn clouds distort and hover. You should stay back. I grabbed the glass too fast, and it dripped too quickly for the second dawn

Since we passed through the maze as we unlock the stage of my other ride I remember the shining, the spot on the day she played
Since we went through the maze and discovered my other side, I remember the shining spot on the day she played

Though I never knew Moses I know many noses with thoughts like me
Although I never met Moses, I know many people with thoughts similar to mine

Take a drive to the Jacksonville pharmacy and pretend That a new apartment and a heart don't make me old
Drive to the Jacksonville pharmacy and pretend that a new apartment and heart don't make me feel old

'Cause a spinal rage and lit a page and I've been told But I'm walking on a wire with eight other eyes
A spinal rage and lit page, but I've been told. I'm walking on a wire, with eight other eyes watching me

Be sure to play the best of you eight other sides
Make sure you play the best of your other eight sides

When I'll stay shy, you stay shy, dear Alvin When I'll say bye, you say bye, dear Alvin
When I stay shy, you stay shy too, my dear Alvin. When I say bye, you say bye too, my dear Alvin

When I'll say go, you say go, dear Alvin When I sing Row, you sing Row, dear Alvin
When I say go, you say go too, dear Alvin. When I sing 'Row,' you sing 'Row' too, dear Alvin

Why that's funny, my voice didn't come back to me I'll try it again Hello, hello? Oh my goodness, now my singing voice is gone My singing voice is gone, my singing voice is gone My singing voice is gone, my singing voice is gone My singing voice is gone, my singing voice is
That's funny. My voice didn't come back. I'll try again. Hello, hello? Oh my goodness, now my singing voice is gone. My singing voice is gone, my singing voice is gone, my singing voice is gone, my singing voice is gone
