Unsolved Mysteries

Oh look at me That sweet boy's plea His mother cried "My child's tied his laces" Why must we move on From such happy lawns Into nostalgia's palm And feed on the traces We all hop to the dance Or embarrass the parents Who should have knees That go to sleep That blood in the dark Will attract the sharks Who are not violent We all have hungry bellies But I feel like I've got to duck When you look at me with your brown eyes When you look at me with your blue eyes And you look at me with the inner eye And all was tame And all was daggers anyway Stop crying like a child And all was green And all was aging anyway Stop growing in the wild But I feel like I've got to duck When you look at me with your green eyes When you look at me with your black eyes And you look at me with your dead eyes And I can understand When holding her hand So womanly I have to go and kiss her And what a surprise To look in those eyes And find suddenly He is Jack the Ripper Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper Stop crying like a child She stopped crying like a child Jack the Ripper --- Unsolved Mysteries - Animal Collective
