Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – Maniac

Maniac don't say it ain't nothin'

When I can see it in your eyes

Of course ceremonial weakness

Lending them hard drugs

But don't ask me if I understand

What is good for me tonight

Can't you see it's harmless

A little light justice

Some say "So long How could you "

Some say "Come sit here by the fire "

I will just wave goodbye to ordinary

People's awkward situations

Officer you can take me

But leave my daughter alone

We could sit around forever mama

And find there are no stars in the sky

We could page through

All our haunted diary thoughts

I miss the way you stare at me

As if I were a memory

Villain Statue of marble

And I don't want to touch your dark

Thoughts anymore; let me leave them alone

Now and then safe and sound

And send the clowns

To document with words and photos

A brain on fire and slashed summer tires

We all need somewhere to go

There's some way out of this silent film

I've been living in

But my mind got stuck and

I froze upon the burning coals

In another man's ritual

We could sit around forever mama

And find there are no stars in the sky

We could page through

All our haunted diary thoughts

I miss the way you stare at me

As if I were a memory
