Lyrics

[ti:Obsidian Currents]
[ar:Of Montreal]
[00:17.62] You like to think that you can
[00:21.25] Live beyond good and evil
[00:26.64]
[00:30.70] Amputated from humanity
[00:34.33] On some lifelong intellectual retreat
[00:42.12]
[00:44.62] Everything is conceptual and
[00:48.05] All is rhetorical
[00:50.05] You can feel so powerful
[00:56.86] When you're forced to face the physical world
[01:02.16] You scurry like an insect
[01:08.59]
[01:09.91] There is a virus in your tenets
[01:13.26] Don't be naive you know it's true
[01:17.01] And if you don't protect yourself
[01:22.28] Obsidian currents Obsidian currents
[01:29.26]
[01:33.24] Will devour you
[01:36.16]
[02:08.29] You have committed yourself
[02:11.85] Wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas
[02:21.67] All things cerebral and abstract
[02:26.09] No patience for impractical emotions
[02:34.15]
[02:35.65] Burning everyone who
[02:39.17] Ever try to get close to you
[02:47.29]
[02:48.67] But you're so lizard-like you don't
[02:52.25] Feel any passion for anything but yourself
[02:58.83]
[03:00.77] There is a virus in your tenets
[03:03.88] Don't be naive you know it's true
[03:07.63] And if you don't protect yourself
[03:13.00] Obsidian currents Obsidian currents
[03:19.23]
[03:23.73] Will devour you
