    Still one of my favorite AC songs. It’s such an auditory journey. Their invention (especially during those years) is brilliant and inhabits its very own cosmos, a realm onto itself

    LYRICS:
    Why am I so scared
    That the shadows on the wall from yesterday...
    I turn and tell my dad
    I saw ghosts in the park wooing girls with cakes
    And their moms are scared
    'Cause they haven't been home in two or three days
    Wind blows trees through the tops of my hair
    I saw wolves in the fog, I can see through the rain
    Oh, man and things have changed
    In the snow filled lake where there used to be waves
    I feel deranged
    They're building beaches inside so it's sunny all May
    I don't know, I think it's strange
    'Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it
    I don't know if there's any real danger
    But the creatures all know that it's safer in the dark
    Why am I so scared
    Of explosions going off just any old way
    I turn, ask is it that bad
    They say we've much bigger problems, we got wolves on the plane
    And they left their den 'cause the cracks in the pipe's shootin' murky grays
    They're running just as fast as the hares
    They say you shouldn't leave a place if you can eat there
    Oh, man, and things have changed
    In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves
    I feel deranged
    They're building beaches inside so it's sunny all May
    I don't know, I think it's strange
    'Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it
    I don't know if there's any real danger
    But I'm alright if you're alright
    I'm alright if you're alright...
    She dabs her diamonds so they
    Look like a decoy lover
    Many fine costumes but they're not like mine
    He said I'd kiss you, sometimes I
    Don't wanna kiss you, don't mean I
    Don't like to kiss you, just means these lips are mine
    He kept on jerking, he kept on working
    He got wrapped up in lovin' but
    We opened him just in time
    He said don't make your problems my funny problems
    Because I've got problems but I'll cover them up in time
    Don't make your troubles my funny troubles
    Because I've got troubles
    Why you talk about 'em all the time
    Like crocodiles,
    Sometimes I wanna eat him
    Sometimes I just wanna meet him for a
    Good meal but to eat you better win so loud
    Like crocodiles,
    Sometimes he just wanna basement
    Sometimes, man, he can never take it when he's
    Down I look at you, he's deep inside his mind
    Thinking about torture
    Don't let it get you down
    There's other ways to fight torture
    I hope it gets you 'round
    Shake it off with me
    Man, now don't get too freaky on me
