  1. [Lyric] Maybe That Was It (Dirty Projectors)

    If you saw the surface rip and bloom with rot Some part doing what some other part will not Maybe that was it If you saw a shadow rise beyond the hiss Iridescent and pretend anonymous Maybe that was it If you saw a weapon that so smooth transfixed Cylinders of language pounded into bricks Maybe that was it If you saw an animal in hard...Learn More

  2. [Lyric] Unto Caesar (Dirty Projectors)

    Accident or intention It's already history Random or intelligent The mute march into victory Innocent or innocent enough to say "I did what I did, I did what I did only" Render unto Caesar Scrawled and all illegible You kept yourself hidden well Sprawling and inflexible The world asked you for nothing else So and forward, lifelong in the gentle...Learn More

  3. [Lyric] Offspring Are Blank (Dirty Projectors)

    [Vocal Intro] [Verse 1] There was a single one Then there were ten With time made a hundred and a hundred million You came and spoke to me I saw your face Your words were like raindrops from a storm in a vase Each generation different [Hook] He was made to love her She was made to love him And their offspring love them [Verse 2] And in the...Learn More

  4. [Lyric] Impregnable Question (Dirty Projectors)

    [Verse 1] If there is ever the impregnable question Of why what did or didn't pass It would help to seek Comfort in destiny But I really don't -- We don't see eye to eye But I need you And you're always on my mind [Verse 2] Whether there is or isn't any position You care if I take or I don't I will always hope What we shared so long To be the only...Learn More

  5. [Lyric] The Socialites (Dirty Projectors)

    [Verse] I think she’s the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen Her hair — it has meaning and volume and such a sheen Sometimes I think maybe I could go and talk to her Her eyes — they look lonely, far away and inert [Chorus] Oh baby, the socialites who act so nice Won't ever begin to let you in They’ll act surprised, apologize Won't ever let on The face...Learn More

  6. [Lyric] Irresponsible Tune (Dirty Projectors)

    With our song we are outlaws With our songs, we're alone But without songs we're lost And life is pointless, harsh, and long In my heart, there is music In my mind is a song But in my eyes a world crooked, fucked up, and wrong Sing all day Record and play Drums and bass And a guitar Will there be peace in the world? Or will violence always own...Learn More

  7. [Lyric] See What She Seeing (Dirty Projectors)

    Mornings I wake up hung over Lower than mornings before I don't know, memory's torture Or maybe what I deserve Lonely and forgotten in the frozen world Scorned in my desire Ignored by all the girls I need someone to comfort me Whose hair is whipping (wild and free) Whose mouth is smiling (wide open) Whose eyes are shining looking at me and I can...Learn More

  8. [Lyric] Just from Chevron (Dirty Projectors)

    Where she collapses into the shore Pump her like product and, ask her for more There a man lay dying in ice Gasket had busted and Pinned him like a vice As the sun sank into repose A friend knelt and Listened to his dying words as he froze: "Tell my love don't mourn too intense I'm going down to her great good expense Now all the air is quiet...Learn More

  9. [Lyric] About to Die (Dirty Projectors)

    If the search has been long and futile and brutal And if you squint trying to recollect the bosom of your hoodlum love (hey baby) You reach out and into the absence and gasping The vastness grabs you like an alien embrace Your face to its face No end and neither beginning you're spinning You're breathless, orbiting a dark and hateful star An evil...Learn More

  10. [Lyric] Swing Lo Magellan (Dirty Projectors)

    Last night all my attention Squinting westward 'ere the sunset with a map and a compass When a man reached up, said something "There, against the sky, a point of light Too invisible to give itself to the naked eye" On the shore, people yellin' In their eyes a great reflection In the grid aware their position Unconcerned with intuition There can...Learn More

  11. [Lyric] Dance for You (Dirty Projectors)

    I ran across cyanide planes Mind like a prison cell But feet untethered and sane I wandered out hopeless and sad No thought of where I'd go Or how I'd ever get back There is an answer I haven't found it But I will keep dancing 'till I do (ooh) I boogied down gargoyle streets Searching in every face For something I could believe I knelt beneath...Learn More
