Lyrics:
*****

Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks
And a voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved
You slide down your stairs to the heated street
And the sun has left us with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you, we're going...

It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
We'll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes
Nowhere to go, well our bodies glow
And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues
With purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you

When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
Don't cool off, I like your walk....TRAIT!

Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
The restlessness causes that I cannot hide
So much on my mind that it spills outside
Do you want to go stroll down the financial street?
Our clothes might get soaked, but the buildings sleep
And there's no one pushing for a place
Meander at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
Just you, just you, just you.

His voice is excellent - it conveys the emotional impact of the rhythm and harmonies, which is what AC is all about. It's tribal in that the sound is meant to be acted on and SCREAMED.

My opinion at least.

[yusbarrett]

@bloodriver3lol true true, maybe I should switch from THC to LSD, thnx for the suggestion ;D

[KidsFromKoreaReal]

@vinicioFS

Its just you

[vinicioFS]

@MOONTRAFFIC Yeah, i think so too. When you are a fan you think that everything they do is amazing.

[MOONTRAFFIC]

@vinicioFS i kind of agree. its record music. I bet itd be a bit better if you were there though

[vinicioFS]

Is it just me, or they are crappy live.

[zerazobz]

So Animal!, So Good!

@423likeajewel LSD actually makes you want to dance. That's how we got freeform dancing when people were dancing to psychedelic music in the 60's. Check out Pink Floyd's early videos.

@librepalestine well fuck..



[holemanator]

@dudewhatthehellman his voice is kinda out of tune till he turns his monitor up at 2:30. THIS IS FREAKING SWEET

[CatastrophePictures]

[rigomez88]
