Animal Collective Hocus Pocus lyrics

[Intro]
(Well if you're out and about on the freeways this morning, no dinosaurs to worry about)

[Verse 1]
So many ways to wait
Beyond the lines that border us from them
Don't take a shot
A smoke to trigger just a little bit from them
Can't be a crime to meddle
Can't be wrong to push the pedal
Queasy and grime, no balance
Standing bones don't up the level

[Verse 2]
So many times
The prints don't match the brush that painted it
Don't take a forge
Or wait to dazzle as a conjurer
Behind the drape, un-aging
Behind aims of rearrangements
Stuck in the slime, no paddle
Guarded life, don't tend to dabble

[Chorus 1]
Legalise this principle
Jump into a spot not physical
Bring it closer to the middle, want to write with control
[one step a] [what's left but]
Wander from the cynical
Take a look at this atypical
With an amplitude for rhythm
As a tightening will, just when it starts to let go

[Bridge]

(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
So many ways
Can't be a crime
Behind the drape

[Chorus 2]
Wander from the cynical
Take a look at this atypical
With an answer to the riddle
As the tightening grip, just when it starts to let go
Jump into a spot not physical
Bring it closer to the middle
Want to write with control
A slipping grip has let go

[Outro]
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
(Hocus Pocus)
