Duckin And Dodgin Lyrics - Sunbathing Animal - Parquet Courts

You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 

You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 

That key you've got won't fit this lock no more 

That key you've got won't fit this lock no more 

You've been ducking, dodging but you can't come home no more 

You've been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 

That key you've got won't let you in my door 

That key you've got won't let you in my door 

My eyes have seen the glory and 

The sound and image, synchronized 

Right there on the silver screen 

Heard the sounds suggesting 

Lineage of influence, yeah 

Saw it there in the motherland 

Steps and gables, steeples, stairways 

Wind away from origin 

In untrampled vintage floats the proof 

I cannot be freed 

The concert stage, the velvet cage 

The glass perimeter of me 

All my friends are disappearing 

All my letters are in codes 

All I ever think and feel 

In your shadow, it erodes 

Waiting, waiting by the silent phone 

I draft my next apology 

Burn my letters once they're read 

Unalloyed joy, I thrice repeat 

Unalloyed joy 

Unalloyed joy 

Listen to what I just heard 

It's written on the sun, jailbird 

And just like you 

The way it moves 

A fog that creeps in, grinning always 

In your head 

And in your hallways 

Got detained in San Francisco 

On your way to get fresh air 

The U.S.A. didn't want you there 

Juggled oranges, but no one cared

Photos 

Lady Macbeth, rock me mama 

Like my back ain't got no bone 

Like clicks heard on the telephone 

Like a sudden unhinged moan 

That leaks out from your broken structure 

Like a wall of unbound stone 

They buried the eighth 

They buried the ninth 

They said the finale was a formal reply 

They buried the eighth 

They buried the ninth 

They said the finale was a formal reply 

They buried the eighth 

They buried the ninth 

Buried everything, I'm telling you guy 

Contest prizes, grand pianos 

Gagged by comfort, shamed by words 

Empty anthems, cloaked in strange fur 

Stripes and bars, is it yours? 

Stripes and bars 

Stripes and bars 

Stripes and bars, and are you sure? 

Stripes and bars will lock you in 

Lock you in or camouflage you 

Feel the sun, but cannot walk to 

Hear the yelp, but cannot talk to 

Trembling, cloaked in what you swore 

Were stripes and bars 

That's what they're for 

You've been ducking, dodging but you can't come home no more
