Who is much more than a friend, But never by my side? All beginnings are an end, In the blackness there’s a light Maybe you will only read One or two letters at the most Shipping crates might line the streets, Every stranger is a ghost Cashiers won’t deduct the pain, Loneliness sleeps on the couch Only noticing the stain Once the color’s faded out Let’s go camping in the cold, Make a fire, buy a tent Envision leather getting old, Re-send pigeons that were sent Try to memorize your smell, It reminds me of a field Crickets clearer than a bell Have all their guts recast in steel Birds don’t cry when echoes quit, They trail off into the fog Autumn hurts far less than sticks, Knowing winter’s five feet tall Generations of defeat All assuming your the worst They never tied the cans To the back end of a hearse Take your hand against my own, If there’s a finger I can grip Reassure me at the ace Mine’s a black heart you could flip I’ve come to terms with what I have, What’s been given, what’s been asked Turn my back against the sea, And beg the serpent for a dance But in the red dirt muddy towns, Celebration of the dark Children walking hand in hand With the pygmies in the park I can’t touch you only once, You always leave me wanting more So keep my feet within the house, And stick my toes just past the door Let me know when I’m in love, Let me die when I’m in love
"let's go camping in the cold Make a fire buy a tent" helps me remember the times my mother and I would stay in hotels always trying to find a better way from sleeping there and in women's shelters.
The album version was influenced by the 60's band The Red Crayola. Listen to the 1967 album "The Parable of Arable Land" and you'll understand where MGMT were coming from. If you can sit through the free-form freakouts, that is.
Absolutely agree. Andrew's voice is very beautiful, but he can improve his hearing just a little. In spite of this MGMT is my favourite music. And i'm interesting, how Andrew can compose so elegant melodies without sing it accurately. But may be this vocal is their special charm
Its beautiful. Lets steal this song
Micheal doesn't belong to anyone..
We're sorry we took Micheal. Please forgive us.
Bam bam bam.
Ohhh! Oh.
Who is much more than a friend,
But never by my side?
All beginnings are an end,
In the blackness there’s a light
Maybe you will only read
One or two letters at the most
Shipping crates might line the streets,
Every stranger is a ghost
Cashiers won’t deduct the pain,
Loneliness sleeps on the couch
Only noticing the stain
Once the color’s faded out
Let’s go camping in the cold,
Make a fire, buy a tent
Envision leather getting old,
Re-send pigeons that were sent
Try to memorize your smell,
It reminds me of a field
Crickets clearer than a bell
Have all their guts recast in steel
Birds don’t cry when echoes quit,
They trail off into the fog
Autumn hurts far less than sticks,
Knowing winter’s five feet tall
Generations of defeat
All assuming your the worst
They never tied the cans
To the back end of a hearse
Take your hand against my own,
If there’s a finger I can grip
Reassure me at the ace
Mine’s a black heart you could flip
I’ve come to terms with what I have,
What’s been given, what’s been asked
Turn my back against the sea,
And beg the serpent for a dance
But in the red dirt muddy towns,
Celebration of the dark
Children walking hand in hand
With the pygmies in the park
I can’t touch you only once,
You always leave me wanting more
So keep my feet within the house,
And stick my toes just past the door
Let me know when I’m in love,
Let me die when I’m in love
"let's go camping in the cold
Make a fire buy a tent" helps me remember the times my mother and I would stay in hotels always trying to find a better way from sleeping there and in women's shelters.
I think the audio quality makes it better. Like this is an old favorite my grandparents would listen to. Great upload as always, thanks
I thought the same thing. The album version is like a great production and here it sounds like an old standard

Don’t get me wrong I love the music of MGMT but Andrew can‘t sing.
i think his voice perfectly enhaces the depressing nature of the song, his voice amplifies the pain in the words
what? Andrew has one of the most beautiful singing voices I've ever heard.
say sike rigth now

I wouldn't want it any other way. I think it's just perfect for their music
This version is soooo much better.
