Of Montreal - Chaos Arpeggiating Lyrics






Mountain City yellows they're not on the grounds they're in the wall
This loneliness is so distracting I'm barely missing you at all

Will I survive the Easter in this sloughy womb of noxious isolation?
No I can feel the sabers now in my illusionary casket

Now your charming little virus is getting all your attention
As I drag my chair up to the window to absorb some solar lashings

It's your saint's name day tomorrow but last year's paper wasps they are not living anymore

Why should I be scorned like some catalyst for famines when it's me who's been exiled in apartments?
Oh must I always be chaos arpeggiating?

Mountain City yellows I see them glitching through the floor
The minotaur of self abuse can't pick himself up anymore

Your last violent freak out was a eulogy to us
I was truly touched that you still cared enough to throw psychotic fits

And now I'm sparring with the no one, the void, the vacuum of conscience
As I mine the rust of my celebrity with snarls and mock laughter

I have the sense that you're wanting me to chase you
But what's the point? we can't be together without starting a row

  1. L.... J....

    Dude,Kevin breathes fire on this track.

  2. D.... H....

    new of montreal takes a minute to sink in sometimes, it's really nuanced. But this is my favorite track so far

  3. M.... M....

    I listen to this whole album almost every day since the day it came out

  4. J.... G....

    I don't get this fucking band, too noisey!

  5. D.... ....

    Holy fuck every track Ive listened to on this album has been bomb. OM had a bit of a slump, but goddamn they are in prime form here on all fronts. The funky infectious and invigorating music, Kevin's special and amazing brand of lyrics with that trademark beautiful and stylish flair layered over everything. What a gift to mankind. Keep it real Kevin

  6. T.... C....

    That’s actually cool though. This was abject to me last year. Mr. Adventure Cowboy taking poison from trucks to jail. I see that it’s only a geography of identity, becoming clear as I attempt to tackle clarity in everything I do.

  7. l.... e....

    fall out boy stole 🙃

  8. G.... W....

    Got dang! They still got it. You the man, Kev

  9. d.... f....

  10. Q.... ....

    I don't listen to this band but I saw Anthony whoretano practically praise this track and I've fallen in love with it.

    Of Montreal always gives me a hardon. Almost always

    t.... ....

    you have a mother somewhere who is just cringing

    t.... ....

    @ijustlovetea Lol does anyone act normally around their parents? I'd never tell her I have a music fetish but I'm sure she'd approve compared to other things she knows

    t.... ....

    I don't understand anyone who doesn't have an of Montreal fetish. Almost always

    t.... ....

  12. R.... R....

    Probably my favorite track on the album. Too soon to tell.

  13. z.... ....

    i love the part with the lower register singing in this one! not to say it isn't a brilliant tune all together.
