made me a shadow in the shape of wonder

Things I love in this song:
Holy Ghost! plus MGMT what a combo!
astronomy themes
guitar at like 3:20
pretty much everything



Of Moons Birds and Monsters (Holy Ghost! remix) - MGMT


Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make the kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart

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 gray 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 the 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
Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make the 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
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart

It will inspire on the burning pyre
Half the distance
Half the motion
It will inspire on the burning pyre
It's easy as the ocean

Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make the 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
Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make the 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
Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make the kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart
The falling apart

Flash Delerium - MGMT

Mild apprehension
Blank dreams of the coming fun
Distort the odds of a turnaround
Gut screams out next to none
So turn it on
Tune it in
And stay inert
You say "I've got the backbone,
The back way to escape the gun"
Climbing a tree with a missing limb
And not saving anyone
And now it hurts
To stay at home
And see
Flash
The mirror ball's throwing mold
You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
And if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt

Plants
As far as I know are still,
Still bending toward the light
And if we dance
Until the heart explodes
It'll make this place ignite
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just
A case of Flash delirium

Here's a growing culture
Deep inside a corpse
Ages stuck together
Takin it to the source
Timeless desperation
Pictures on a screen scream
"hey people, what does it mean?"

NYC 365 "A bullish market", originally uploaded by Bobby Plasencia.

Comfort keeps us nice
So quick to donate everything (nothing arrives)
Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen)
And time's tingling spines
Attaching hands to floor
The rosy-tinted flash

The hot dog's getting cold
And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones
Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt
Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt

NYC 365 Redux, originally uploaded by Bobby Plasencia.

(Why close one eye and try to
Pledge allegiance to the sun
When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone
Geometric troops aligning
Carried up to the burial mounds
My earthbound heart is heavy
Your heartbeat keeps things light
With the violence forever threatening the night
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust)
Lines when I close my eyes and just
Aim blindly at the sun
And hear love
When the ghosts start singing terrorizing everyone
Geometric troops aligning
Carried up to the burial mounds with gold
It's a heavy load but your
You rhythm makes it light and explode
Like a violent star keeps threatening the night
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust
That our heads won't bust

66 55 red battleships
40 earthlike planets
3 holes 2 tits
1 fork in it's side
Zero tears in their eyes

Sue the spiders
Sink the Welsh
Stab your facebook
Sell sell sell
Undercooked
Overdone
Mass adulation not so funny
Poisoned honey
Pseudo science
Silly money
You're my honey
