Animal Collective - Cuckoo Cuckoo (live) lyrics

How I lost my boy How I lost my boy How I lost my boy How I lost my boy The king in I died He kept floating past my eyes And singing his songs Life was good now d**h's all wrong Cause you can't feel a thing No heart flutters in late spring You just drift and pray For sun kissed golden days And I can't hold what's in my hand Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned And little kids sliding down the steel park slide Little kids can't play with things that have died Sometimes all I want is one favorite song And two to three minutes don't seem that long And where's my mom, I wanna hold her tight She's so far away from crowded nights I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo Well I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo Where I'm going I said please stay You can see me, don't go away I can't see the landscape Please describe it's amaranthine haze It's odd where I am They're people, you're not like them They just look away For rain-quenched golden days My tears quench five feet of lawn And I just creep I cannot yawn And people gonna come and people gonna cry He just woke and dreamt and ate and died Don't try to erase what you have done Put your fingers in a mouth, and kiss it if it wants And where's my friend, I wanna hold him tight He's so far away from mountain lights I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo Well I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo Where I'm going And I can't hold what's in my hand Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned And little kids sliding down the steel park slide Little kids can't play with things that have died Sometimes all I want is one favorite song And two to three minutes doesn't seem that long And where's my mom, I wanna hold her tight She's so far away from crowded nights I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo Well I'm going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo Where I'm going
