Choking on the birds of paradise
Taste all the colors by design
Big feast before your eyes
Is just a crow glorified
They’ll flip and roll
Lose control
Shape shift until your gaze is fixed
Mesmerize the little mice
Pull off the disguise
And hold my gloves
Choking on the birds of paradise
Calm eyes hide a wolf appetite
This treat you can't repeat
Throw your bones off to the side
They’ll flip and roll
Lose control
Shapeshift until your gaze is fixed
Mesmerize the little mice
Pull off the disguise
And hold my gloves

Fluid. Full of improbable musical synergy made possible by Deerhoof. The amount of culture and musical breadth is almost dreamlike, the way nostalgic motifs are seamlessly blended together.
A Voyager record, of sorts, to the weird rock of the last century. rocktobot
