Like Ashoka's Inferno of Memory Songtext
von of Montreal

Music started, I woke
I can′t laugh at myself If I, get joke
Somebody's paying attention and not
Coping well with all the concrete, ooh
He ruined you without a single intelligent word
Sometimes you get the punishment, somebody else deserved
But a man must have his conquest, keep his spirits high, and I...

And I...
And I heard you whimpering from behind your red curtain
I just rolled my eyes, went back to my book
I realize then that if ever there something alive in you
Something I could love, that thing must now be dead
I asked if I could come visit her in her living grave
The place where she and her circumstantial husband stay
To whisk her away, or at least shake things up
But who am I to break up an unhappy home?


And you said you wanted to murder your rabbit heart
Well you mustn′t, it's a part of you that I love the best
You must keep it safe, let it stay wild, let it stay free
It's what makes you special, so much better than me

I sent you missive from the carriage
And you started killing our story before it could even begin
Mourning us almost keeps you alive
But in the wasteland of my memory, I know that you′ll never survive

She recited O′Haras "Having a Coke With You"
While my friends were at a bar outside of Lido
Smoking hash, talking Anti-American trash

I want you [?] come silent like, something you fear
I kissed you [?] on the South Street Seaport pier
She's the daughter of the owl, I′m the fox's brother
Why′s it so hard for us to say nice things to each other?

I know she feels for me, I know she does what she can
But still, I'm out of New York City given the other man
I don′t wanna make things messy with someone I respect
It's an evil situation, I guess I deserve it
I guess it is comically correct


Oh no, oh my!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Yeah, oh oh
Oh no, oh my!
Oh no!
