Animals Lyrics


Now that I'm alone I feel the lonely brokeness
Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
In the outright abandon of this orphan child.
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace,
I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse
And to wake up half empty
Only to be filled again with mourning
He's my evil shadow dove
My black Palamito
Can't break him like a diamond skull
I can't seem to do so
I Can't just rub him out like the
Mob used to do so
Like memories of porno and tea stains
And tobacco, Oh, it's a mini disastro
Bigger than the ice age don't know if baby dinosaurs
Maybe could live through it, or Indians and butterflies

What's crushed is my spirit, Oh I fear it is too fragile,
Like fall leaves burn like paper...I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
No one would understand me,
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals..
Spend all my time amongst the animals
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals...Oh I'm just a fall leaf something simple and shy lie that,
That's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk
Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons,
I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul
His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue
Perhaps I'm just teething for a foreign fallen destiny
Miserable but mine, I look like his mother
Or Sophia Loren in an old fashioned movie
Slow motion I cling to my child, desperate for love
One day soon my brother died, made me remember all the
Subordinate feelings I cast aside
and maybe I had lied when I said I was ok
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say
"Wild willow, windy winter won't you blow through me
My whole eternity"Now I always knew that i would spend alot of time alone...
nooone would understand me maybe i should go and live amongst the animals...
spend all my time amongst the animals...
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals...Now I always knew that i would spend alot of time alone...
noone would understand me maybe i should go and live amongst the animals...
spend all my time amongst the animals...
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals...

CocoRosie began in Paris, France and formed by Sierra Casady (Rosie) and Bianca Casady (Coco) in 2003. Sierra and Bianca Casady are North American half-Cherokee sisters. Sierra, the older of the two, was born in Iowa, and Bianca was born in Hawaii. Their mother nicknamed them Rosie and Coco, respectively, from which their musical act takes its name.

In 2003, Bianca was growing restless and decided it was time for a change. Leaving her apartment in Brooklyn to travel the world, she ended up at Sierra's apartment in Paris.

Over the course of the next two months, the women spent nearly every waking hour in Sierra's bathroom, chosen as the most acoustic and isolated room in the apartment. Soon, they had completed both a hip-hop recording (never released) called "word to the crow" and their proper debut album La Maison de Mon Rêve.

Originally, La Maison de Mon Rêve was only intended to be distributed within a close circle of friends. However, by 2004 the lo-fi album had been released on independent label Touch and Go Records, who had obtained a copy of the CD and had uncharacteristically pursued signing the artists. Since the creation of their first album, the Casady sisters have been virtually inseparable.

Stylistically they may be assigned to the indie rock, psych-folk, folk-tronic genres, and are sometimes associated with the new weird america movement. Sierra, who studied operatic vocal techniques, takes the lead vocals and also plays guitar, harp and flute. Bianca is a percussionist and also beatboxes. The group also uses various objects such as toys to construct their unique sound. Popular indie bands such as the xx name them as a major influence: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/05/xx.interview/index.html?iref=allsearch


They were actively touring during most of 2004, playing across the U.S. and throughout Europe with artists such as TV on the Radio, Bright Eyes, Battles, Devendra Banhart, and Busdriver among others.
