MGMT -- Of Moons, Birds and Monsters

Of Moons, Birds and Monsters

Why'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
Don't you know about the temperature change
In the cold black shadow?
Are you mad at your walls
Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you?
Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale grey garden?
If the ship will never come you've got to move along

Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder
The waves of black
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
He's a rat!

To catch a monster
We make a movie
Set the tempo
And cut and cut its brains out
It will inspire on the burning pyre
Half the distance
Half the motion
Communication
It's easy as the ocean

This song is so great because it's weird and amazing. There is only one verse and the chorus is only played once. I don't hear many songs that are played like this. And also, about halfway into the song it just breaks into a whole different thing that sounds like a slow jam. The lyrics don't really make sense to me. It sounds like they're either deep lyrics that you have to really thing about to understand, or just lyrics that he wrote fast to have lyrics in the song. All around this song is incredible.
