Vertical Lyrics - Painting With - Animal Collective

Mountains in Kauai 

Make me feel so lowly 

Cower at their power 

Vertical I like 

Dizzy under buildings 

Bending like their willing 

Is it what I'm seeing 

Vertical is fright 

Hard to gain perspective 

Often it's perplexing 

Reaching for a record 

Vertical is sight 

Hanging on a pylon 

Dropping from a million 

Jumping on a hill 

Vertical is height

People live above you 

Postured like a totem 

Runnin' up some stairs 

Vertical is might 

Stalling on a nose 

Places to propose in 

Seeing everything from vertical is light 

Diamonds of the sky on 

Black and endless background 

Reaching out to grab them 

Vertical at night 

My imagination 

Reaches to forever 

Like an endless tower 

Vertical I write 

So high and still it sends a feeling through me 

Suddenly not vertical 

Photos 

Breathe in the air the goes through a system that is 

A tree we are with limbs extending to the sun (very lovely vertical) 

Come find me floating up if you should find me gone (meet you in a child's day) 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

For me, for me, for me 

For me, for me, for me uh, uh, uh, uh 

At the tips of cities 

Birds are tracing columns 

Windows bend in wind 

Vertical in flight 

Down below a statue 

People stand in poses 

Making good impressions 

Vertical delights 

Lying on a trunk 

And waiting to be dreaming 

Startled by a thumpin' 

Vertical insight 

Lots of people thinkin' 

Thinking about falling 

Nothing but a rope so 

Vertical hold tight 

Sometimes you feel the pressure dropping on you (pressure from the vertical) 

I start to wonder does this system matter? (only if it's vertical) 

Even in leaves some creatures build themselves a home (can't always be vertical) 

Lifted above the din their worlds a peaceful dome (they don't hear the child say) 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

My feet can't cross the parking lot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

The parking lot is way too hot 

The parking lot is way too hot
