Guided By Voices - Half Smiles Of The Decomposed (2005) by Guided By Voices (보컬) on maniadb.com

Hurts me, minds you in the dark
Come outside and play the spark
Ragged enzyme horror shows
Half smiles of the decomposed
I know

Fit me into your thimble
I'll be your comeback trail
All wheels and no control
A restless shadow, oh

Skeptic having dates and facts
Handy with the battle axe
Home is not your woman's head
Play the spark is what I said
I know

I know
You're gonna fuck up my make-up
You're gonna make up my fuck-up
They call me Sleep Over Jack
Now serving confident product
Icepick in the heart rate
And you will never be next

I know

Allow to flee
A mile to be
All the while in tribes I played
Survived and prayed to be free
And send my letters out
Delivered sermons through the sea
For the girls of wild strawberries

So proud to speak
Of how I otherwise am weak
And now I blind my head
Divine the current from the stream
A child I'll never know denied
Reminded who are we
By the girls of wild strawberries

I blind my head
Divine the current from the stream
A child I'll never know denied
Reminded who are we
By the girls of wild strawberries

Be a motorcycle
Be a getaway car
Be a house of sparrows
I am waiting
This is where you are

Thinking about the lines that cross the sky
Mine for you and I
Never have to die

I have plans engaging
All of these points connecting one
My trap is simple
I will forgive you
For all you've never done

Lessons of the crime of sick and tried
In a forest crucified
You're gonna never have to die

In the window of my world I see the sunlight
I see the moonlight
Crashing through my world
Yeah, in the window of my world I pry a mystery
Projecting my misery
In the window of my world, in my world

A wall once blocked my view and I couldn't move it
Got bruises to prove it
And maybe I was hurt
But I don't make myself to blame, I broke a small light
Make everything all right
In the window of my world, in my world

Give me your number
Give not my freedom to release you
Seek me in slumber
Take me in words that so complete you
Touch me in worlds that I might reach you

Give me your number
Give not my freedom to release you
Seek me in slumber
Take me in words that so complete you
Touch me in worlds that I might reach you

In the window of my world, a heart's birth brings meaning
Kicking and screaming
In the window of my world
Yeah, in the window of my world shoulder to shoulder
And I'm feeling bolder
Crashing through my world, in my world

Oh, she's so on top of things
Gone out but so looking within
She's got her heart pressed to the ground
To extend her knowledge
And I'll spend my life with her now

She dreams of sleeping now
And how she can take me inside
And now it's warm and cold
All around

Be on top of me now
Be on top of me now
She already is
As far from you crying now
The longest day dying now

So I guess some truth belongs to us
In places that tremble and wish
And a citizen of there am I
She comes to play along

Be on top of me now
Be on top of me now
She already is
As far from you crying now
The longest day dying now

Time is slow without you now
I wanna know about you now

It's all in me now
It's all in me now
It's all in me now
Citizen of there am I of
All me now
It's all in me now
It's all in me now
Citizen of there am I

As quickly as the August you arrived
Miles from everywhere and still survived
Some of the time quite lost
Find your spot

The mind that builds the soul must form a face
A character and ego out of place
Other times a target
On your mark

Seek not for to rehabilitate
Try hard to stop and not stop to concentrate

And nothing could be finer, yeah
In Asia Minor, yeah
The devil in the china, yeah

As slowly as the January snow
Miles from everywhere and you must know
The part that you hate and like
Hates to like

Be prepared for what's lurking outside
I am poised with silver bullets

But nothing could be finer, yeah
In Asia Minor, yeah
The devil in the china, yeah

“And just when it appears there's going to be a successful campaign against smut, just when the Supreme Court seems to be ruling against pornography, when it appears the nation is returning to old-fashioned moral standards, suddenly the floodgates are going to swing open and Satan is going to vomit filth out of Hell, and it'll be just as it was in the days of Lot, and will vex the souls of God's most devoted, devout saints.”

The archers have grown
Bending on back
To the new accuracy
Shoot for white hearts
Ugly supreme
Beating their flags with hiss

Coming of age
To the new day of running

The archers have grown
Bending on back
To the new accuracy
Shoot for white hearts
Ugly supreme
Beating their flags with hiss

Coming of age
To the new day of running
To the new day of running
To the new day of running
To the new day of running

I go free today
I go free today
I go free today
I go free today

When you write
About the boys
Under friendly fire
Dress ‘em up in suits
And seek her to kill
Freedom of the will
Ours and, yes, yours
Yesterday, today
Onward marching on

Come here Leon
Don't paint your skin
To the color of confection
And turn away
From every ghost you've been

And sure enough
I saw your head
At the tent sale and fire auction
For a taste and a chaser
You're a solid gold debaser

Can you ever be a boy
Again, or have you stopped?
Trade lost hours for a dare
Burn the water, cook the air?

And twenty-one
Is the legal age
To kill yourself slowly
But eighteen
Is the legal age to die

Would I cast my vote
Into the inside shit
I'm often wont to crawl
That's all

Don't leave me now to drag my chains
To a rhythm never changing
Lost from found and beaten down

When you write
About the boys
Under friendly fire
Dress ‘em up in suits
And seek her to kill
Freedom of the will
Ours and, yes, yours
Yesterday, today
Onward marching on

These thoughts replace me when I'm on the floor
I cannot taste the sweetness anymore
You bipolarize me with each test
Contaminate the faintest breath
For speaking well of in the name
Of where to watch and who to blame
All of us there
What should I wear?

For human frailty on parade
To entertain you may invade
A silent party, secret wish
At best an unconvincing kiss
Expand
Explode
Wrinkle up
Or blow away

I took you up to let me down
I take the time to track you
Through chosen smokescreen silhouettes
Who've earned the right to back you
This for so long
Perfect and wrong

You write me out, I reappear
To criticize you interfere
But I will say what I want to
And there is nothing you can do
Expand
Explode
Wrinkle up
Or blow away

Visit mysterious fields
See them with small courage
There you will come to a bird
She may scream the word
But if that's what you think you heard
Then what's what you heard
And if that's what you want to hear
Then that's what I will tell you

Black without warning
The storm and the morning star
It's look! We are angels on wires
From a pregnant sky
And if that's where you think you'll go
Then that's where you'll go
And if what's what you want to feel
Then that's what I will sell you

And now I've come back
Translucent and peeled
At Huffman Prairie Flying Field
I've come to start up my head
Been closed and locked up
For far too long
For far too long
For far too long
For far too long
