Who Could Win A Rabbit

Animal Collective · Sung Tongs [2004]

Hungry bread and butter hustle

You'll be doing it a while, livers only fail

Where's your relaxation?

Where's the time required for your health?

Been hating on my new perspective

Been hurrying along, no meal is ever done

You could win a rabbit

You can have a rabbit or a rib

The fast child is gonna have a dead hand

We can get him started, yeah

Bad mind, let me put on good habits

Been working and put on good habits

Sometimes I can't find my good habits.



Spanish bands use all the echo

Persian kitty better stay out of the train

Glad you brought your food on

Eat it like it's gonna get away

Your coffee sure is getting colder

And seats are getting fewer space is losing place

You could blow an island through the rib

Rabbit or a habit?

Habit or a rib?
