ANIMAL COLLECTIVE LYRICS - Lion In A Coma

"Lion In A Coma"



When all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown

Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise

My nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit

Up on the roof is still a riot, the hustling crowds still get me tired

I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief

I'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house

I pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands

That dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain



This wilderness up in my head

This wilderness up in my head

This wilderness needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom



Is there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?

My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully

But if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out

There'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?

It makes me think my purest dreams are not what they're supposed to be

I trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god

And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song

I'm blooming but my roots remind me not to leave them back in time.



This wilderness up in my head

This wilderness up in my head

This wilderness needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom



Lion in a coma



Sometimes the sun will shine

Unless I am just feeling fine

Sometimes I'm not aware

Where I am or what I care

Sometimes I'm well to do

But I don't know what to do

Sometimes I don't agree

With my thoughts on being free



Please don't leave me

Things that feel good

I've been lucky

Trying to feel good



Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to smell the fine aroma

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to run but cannot roam, a

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to use his aching bones, a

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Don't keep the lion in a coma



Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to smell the fine aroma

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to use his aching bones, a

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Who wants to run but cannot roam, a

Lion in a coma, lion in a coma

Don't keep the lion in a coma.
