Of Moons, Birds & Monsters

by MGMT

Why’d you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
Don’t you know about the temperature change
In the cold black shadow?
Are you mad at your walls
Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you?
Pardon all the time that you’ve thrown into your pale grey garden?
If the ship will never come you’ve got to move along

Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder
The waves of black
If she’s going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
He’s a rat!

To catch a monster
We make a movie
Set the tempo
And cut and cut its brains out
It will inspire on the burning pyre
Half the distance
Half the motion
Communication
It’s easy as the ocean

Pieces Of What

by MGMT

When the world has turned
paralyzed and wrong
cold blooded claws
never offered anything at all
past the point of love
shattered and untied
waiting to pick up the pieces
that make it all alright

but pieces of what
pieces of what
pieces of what
doesn’t matter any more

moonlight on my floor
shining through the roof
they got the city surrounded
as if I needed proof
i forgot my fear
feelings on the rise
burying all of the pieces
falling from the sky

but pieces of what
pieces of what
pieces of what
we used to call home
pieces of what
we used to call home

when i drank your tea
and shallow water still
at the belgian gates
i waited for my meal

Kids

by MGMT

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward him
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud

We like to watch you laughing
You picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from him
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him
A family of trees following
Be positive

The water is warm
But it’s sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot
I guess not

Electric Feel

by MGMT

all along the western front
people line up to receive
she got the current in her hand
just shock you like you won’t believe
sun in the amazon
with the voltage running through her skin
standing there with nothing on
she gonna teach me how to swim

i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel
i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel

all along the eastern shore
put your circuits in the sea
this is what the world is for
making electricity
you can feel it in your mind
oh you can do it all the time
plug it in, change the world
you are my electric girl

i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel
i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel

do what you feel now
electric feel now
do what you feel now
electric feel now
do what you feel now
electric feel now
do what you feel now
electric feel now
do what you feel now
electric feel now

The Youth

by MGMT

This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together
We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever
Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout
Wave your hands
Make it rain
For stars will rise again

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

In a couple of years
Tides have turned from booze to tears
And in spite of the weather
We could learn to make it together

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

The youth

Song For Dan Treacy

by MGMT

He spends his time
or maybe half of his time
or part of the time wandering
‘round the creeks and cobble stones of hackney lanes
with a tear in his eye
as the children walk by, he’s thinking of a song
then stops to paint a picture of a frown
walking around

Dan Treacy’s smile
leaves you trying to decide who’s the victim, what’s the crime?
no rest for the mind
that’s seen it all before
and I don’t know where he lives
but he’s a myth of a man
and Texas Bob the cameraman
is off to fix his sit before the show
yeah, but where did he go?

to know when your time’s up
you flip the glass and watch the hours quickening
in the back of the station
fluorescent lights about to quit their flickering
well he speaks his mind
he says “what is crime?”
Dan Treacy’s eyes
In the middle of the park
when the underground is dark,
he’s a poet he’s a lark
he starts thinking about a place that no one knows
and when the creeks run dry
he stays frozen in time
strange lights in the sky
start blinking
I can see the car outside but he’s listening
he’s listening
and he’s making up his mind
he made his mind up
to get things done and overcome
he made his mind up
yeah he’s gonna let it go
he made his mind up
in the park and at the station
he made his mind up
yeah, he’s gonna get it done
he made his mind up
ooh yeah he’s gonna get it done
he made his mind up
yeah, he’s gonna let it go, uh oh
no matter the time
oh oh
when the creeps run by
oh no
he’s making his mind up
oh oh oh oh
yeah he’s gonna get it done whoa oh
oh yeah, when the creeks run dry whoa oh
yeah, he’s gonna listen to his soul,
yeah, when the creeps walk by and say
“come here boy, look me in the eye”
bow to the heart, back to the beat of
Dan Treacy

Time To Pretend

by MGMT

I’m Feelin rough I’m Feelin raw
I’m in the prime of my life.

Let’s make some music make some money
find some models for wives.

I’ll move to Paris, shoot some heroin
and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine
and the elegant cars.

This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We’ve got the vision, now let’s have some fun.

Yeah it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up
for the morning commute?

Forget about our mothers and our friends.
We’re fated to pretend.
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend.
To pretend

I’ll miss the playgrounds and the animals
and digging up worms.
I’ll miss the comfort of my mother
and the weight of the world.

I’ll miss my sister, miss my father,
miss my dog and my home.
Yeah I’ll miss the boredom and the freedom
and the time spent alone.

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do.
Love must be forgotten.
Life can always start up anew.

The models will have children, we’ll get a divorce,
we’ll find some more models,
Everything must run its course.

We’ll choke on our vomit
and that will be the end.
We were fated to pretend.
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend
I said Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
