Lyrics for Peacebone as interpreted by hirezolution

Peacebone Lyrics
A peacebone got found in the dinosaur wing
I've been jumping all over but my views are slowly shrinking
I was a Jugular vein in a juggler's girl
I was supposedly leaking the most interesting colors
While half of my fingers are dipped in the sand
You progress in letters, but you're used to cooking broccoli
The other side of take out is mildew on rice
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
Only a few things are related to the "old times"
Then we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside
Adjust your insides
You're just an inside

I'll bet the monster was happy when they made him a maze
'Cause he don't understand intentions, he just looks at a face
I'll bet the bubbles exploded to tickle the bath
All the birds are very curious, all the fish are at the surface
With half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I'm like a pelican at red tide, I'm a corpse, I'm not a fisherman
And a blowout does not mean I will have a good night
'Cause an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
When we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside
Adjust your insides
You're just an inside

I start in a hose and I'll end in a yard
When I feel like I'm stealing I can't keep myself from hearing God
Only the taste of your cooking can make me bow on the ground
It was the clouds that carved the mountains, it was the mountains that made the kids scream
Oh well she bore all her parts but she never was found
You think "I'll carve a path through New York and be an artist", but are you anything?
Then you find out you can't ask a baby to cry
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
When we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside
Adjust your insides
You're just an inside

Lyrically I think this song parallels some of "Turn Into Something" in its acid-drenched free associative meanderings. Its such a perfect compliment to the bouncy childlike vibe of this song. I love that manipulated accordion sample used to anchor the song. Tremendous.

Does anyone else hear "dead fly" in place of "kid fight?" That's what I get from both the Tavastia and Marfa performances.

God damn this album needs to come out.

I posted these originally on the message board but they found their way onto here
Avey has changed them up for the studio version.
Here's my revised version, close to complete.

Bonefish.

My Peace Bone got found in the dinosaur wing
Well I've been jumpin in all over, my pupils are slowly shrinking
Its was a jugular vein in a juggler’s girl
It was supposedly leaking most interesting colors

(?) from my fingers
are dipped in the sand
Blue grass/dress and lettuce that you used to cook your broccoli
The other side of takeout
Is mildew on rice

But an obsession with the past is like a kid crying
Few things are related to the old times
When we didn’t believe in magic and we didn’t die
This time the words that you should follow is you’re inside
We want you inside
Because you’re inside

But the monster was happy when we made him a maze
Cause he don’t understand intentions he just looks at your face
And then the bubbles exploded and tickled the bath
And all the birds were very curious all the fish were at the surface

Laugh at me waiting for myself to get calm
Im like a pelican at red tide
I'm a corpse/(of course) I'm not a fisherman
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night

chorus

screaming part

Well I start in a hose and I end in a yard
And when I feel like I’m stealing I can keep myself from hearing God
And the taste that you’re cookin could make me bow on the ground
It was the clouds that carved the mountains/ it was the mountains
that made your kids scream

When she (roll out?) her apartment
She never was found
You talk about to New York
To be an artist, but are you anything?
To find out that you can’t ask a baby to cry

Or maybe....

It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insight.

here's what I got, but a couple parts are nearly impossible to make out

A peacebone got found in the dinosaur wing
Well I’ve been jumping all over but my fuels are slowing shrinking
Was a jugular vein in a jugulars girl
Was supposedly leaking most interesting colors

Well half of my fingers are dipped in the sand
You’re progressing letters
but you used to cook your broccoli
The other side of takeout is mildew on rice

An obsession with the past is like a (kid fight)
Just a few things are related to the (old times)
When we did believe in magic and
It’s not my words you should follow it’s your (inside)

I bet the monster was happy when we made him a maze
Cause he don’t understand intentions he just looks at your face
I bet the bubbles exploded that tickle the bath
And all the birds are very curious of the fish at the surface

Well half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I’m like a pelican at wreck tide
I’m a corpse, I’m not a fisherman
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night

An obsession with the past is like a (kid fight)
Just a few things are related to the (old times)
When we did believe in magic and
It’s not my words you should follow it’s your (inside)

(Chanting/Yelling)

Well I start in a hose and an ant in a yard
When I feel like I’m stealing I can keep myself from hearing god
I need the taste of your cooking, can make me bow on the ground
Was the clouds that called the mountains
It was the mountains that made the kids scream

Well she wore all her apartments, she never was found
Make a call back to New York
To be an artist, but are you anything?
You found out that you can’t ask a baby to cry

An obsession with the past is like a (kid fight)
Just a few things are related to the (old times)
When we did believe in magic and
It’s not my words you should follow it’s your (inside)

Peacebone

"And an obsession with the past is like a kid flying"
I think is
"And an obsession with the past is like a gadfly"

Is it 'dead fly?'

In the third verse, I hear "kid CRYing"

But I don't know

I dunno, I hear a "k" at the beginning of it...I've seen "kid fight" written elsewhere and I think that makes more sense than kid flying or dead fly

I am absolutely certain that an obsession with the past is more like a bad flight than anything else. especially contained within the context of the song?

I thought it was "It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides".

Well I have the booklet that has lyrics, and it does indeed say "dead fly".

Other fixes:

Verse 1:
"You progress in letters but you're used to cooking broccoli"

Chorus:
"And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
Only a few things are related to the old times
When we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside
Adjust your insides
You're just an inside"

Verse 4(or 3?):
"With half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I'm like a pelican at red tide
I'm a corpse I'm not a fisherman
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night"

Verse 5:
"Only the taste that you’re cooking could make me bow on the ground
It was the clouds that carved the mountains
It was the mountains that made the kids scream"

Verse 6:
"Oh well she bore all her parts but she never was found.
You think I'll carve a path through New York
And be an artist but are you anything
Then you find out you can't ask a baby to cry
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly"

Also line two should read "my views are slowly shrinking" not "fuels."
