Xiu Xiu
The Oldness
[Verse 1]
Something wrong
Will molest you in drug stupor
On onslaught, constant and dry

[Verse 2]
Web of oldness
Makes creaking timbrel sounds
Beneath the grass, beyond the sky

[Verse 3]
Teasing dirty furry
Abominations
Will lick you awake and eat your weight

[Chorus]
Before and after the words
Get down, put your arms under your body
The oldness

[Verse 5]
I dreamt that I was aloft
On beating wing
A sound unlike any bird's

[Chorus]
Out of the corner of my eye
I saw a great bat's wing
Oh, the oldness
