Of Montreal - The past is a grotesque animal

^GmThe pa^A#st is a grotesque animal and in it's eyes you see how c^Dmompletely wrong you can be how completely wrong you can ^Fbe the ^Gmsun is out it melts the snow that fell yesterday makes you ^A#wonder why it ^Dmbothered

^Dmi fell in love with the first cute girl that i met who ^Gmcould appreciate George Bataille ^A#standing at a Swedish festival discu^Dmssing the story of the eye discussing the story of the e^Fye

^Gmit's so embarrassing to need someone like i do you how ^A#can i exp^Dmlain i need you here and not here too how ca^Fn i explain i need you here and not here too

^GmI'm flunking out i'm gone i'm just gone but at ^A#least i author my own disaster ^Dm at least i au^Fthor my own disaster

^Gmperformance breakdown and i don't want to hear it i'm just not a^A#vailable things^Dm could be different but they're not things could be different but they're ^Fnot the mousy ^Gmgirl screams violence violence

she^A# gets hysterical cause t^Dmhey're both so mean and it's my favorite scene bu^Gmt the cruelty's so predictable it makes you sad on the stage though our love project has so much potent^A#ial

though i ^Dmwouldn't really want to meet someone who was ^F

do i ^Gmhave to scream in your face i've been dodging lamps and ^A#vegetables

i don't ^Dmcare let's just have some fun let's tear^A# this shit apart

let's tear our fucking bodies apart^Gm but l^A#et's just have some fun

^Dmsomehow you've red rovered the gestapo circling my heart and nothing can defeat you no death no ugly world ^Gmyou've lived so brightly you've altered everything i ^A#find myself searching for old selves whi^Dmle speeding forward through th^Fe pla^Gmte glass of maturing cells

i've played the un^A#raveler the parhelion but even ^DmApocalypse is fleeting there's no death no ugly world sometimes i ^Gmwonder if you're mythologizing me like i do you mythologizing ^A#me like i do you we want our film to be ^Dmbeautiful not realistic perceive me in the ^Fradiance of terror dreams and you can betray me ^Gm you can ^A#

^Dmbut teach me something wonderful crown my head crowd my head with your ^Flilting effects

^Gmsee there's nothing to them i prom^A#ise you there's nothing to them i'm so touched by your goodness you make me ^Dmfeel so criminal how do you ^Fkeep it together i'm all all unraveled ^Gm but you know no ^A#matter where we are we're always touching by underground wires

^Dmi've explored you with the detachment of an analyst but ^Fmost nights we've raided the same kingdoms ^Gmand none of our secrets are physical none of our secrets are ^A#physical ^A#non^Dme of our secrets are physical now
