Who Could Win A Rabbit
Animal Collective · Sung Tongs [2004]
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?
