Animal Collective Cuckoo Cuckoo

How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy

The king in I died
He kept floating past my eyes
And singing his songs
Life was good now death's all wrong
Cause you can't feel a thing
No heart flutters in late spring
You just drift and pray
For sun kissed golden days

I can't hold what's in my hand
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned
Little kids sliding down on the steel park slide
Little kids can't play with things that have died
Sometimes all I want is one favorite song
Two to three minutes doesn't seem so long
Where's my mom I want to hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights

I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo
I'm going

I said please stay
You can see me, don't go away
I can't see the landscape
Please describe its amaranthine haze
It's odd where I am
There are people you're not like them
They just look away
For rain quenched golden days

My tears quench five feet of lawn
I just creep I cannot yawn
People gonna come and people gonna cry
He just woke and ate and died
Don't try and erase what you have done
Put your fingers in a mouth and kiss it if it wants
Where's my friend I want to hold him tight
He's so far away from mountain light

I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going cuckoo cuckoo
I'm going

I can't hold what's in my hand
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned
Little kids sliding down on the steel park slid
Little kids can't play with things that have died
Sometimes all I want is one favorite song
Two to three minutes doesn't seem that long
Where's my mom I want to hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights

I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
Well I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
I'm going
