John Maus
For Ariel Pink
Whenever I am feeling dumb and I want to feel wisdom
I just listen to Ariel, Ariel
If what I heard was a man instead of a man's music (uh huh, uh huh)
I would gently take his hand and then I would die, quietly

That's just a half-truth, baby
'Cause you know, 'cause you know it's time to run the world
Run the world of shit, yeah, 'cause
No one can come close to the undefinable, undeniable
Take your time, take your time 'cause time's all you've got
And all you need, and all you need is in your interest
If they [?]
Or one of them [?] a picture of your mind
By just looking in your eye
Now what's a function, what's a function, of a na na na
Of the universe? I'm doing this for Haunted Graffiti

No, no, I don't wanna go in your brain (Can't you understand?)
No, no, I don't wanna go in your brain
It's unnecessary, [?]
But you know, don't be fooled, it's so much more than that
So much, so much

Well, I was just minding my business, when he came (Is this complicated enough? I'm not sure)
Making funny tunes and shit
Do you know what The Doldrums really are (to me?)
Do you know what The Doldrums really are to me?
(I think he doesn't know, I'm not sure)
Whenever I am feeling dumb and I want to feel wisdom
I just listen to Ariel, Ariel
If what I heard was a man instead of a man's music (uh huh, uh huh)
I would gently take his hand and then I would die, quietly
We'd take a trip to the underground
My best friend, baby
Whoever said L.A. doesn't rock, rock and rollers
I can hear my friends inside
Abnormal dreams and spires

That's just a half-truth, baby
'Cause you know, 'cause you know it's time to run the world
Run the world of shit, yeah, 'cause
No one can come close to the undefinable, undeniable
Take your time, take your time 'cause time's all you've got
And all you need, and all you need is in your interest
If they [?]
Or one of them [?] a picture of your mind
By just looking in your eye
Now what's a function, what's a function, of a na na na
Of the universe? I'm doing this for Haunted Graffiti
