Valley - All the Animals I Drew as a Kid Lyrics

well a bomb went off in Mexico today

and a priest in San Diego lost his faith 

and they’re searching for some real estate in space 

oh dying alone is such a fucking waste 



all the animals that I drew as a kid 

live in articles on how they wound up dead 

there’s still so many places I’ve not been 

but i’m sure they can’t be much better than this


cause when it’s all going to shit

and these days it usually is..



oh no it’s a consequential world we live in 

oh no we’re just lost and lonely experts 

but for you and I 

and our peace of mind 

in the case of a tragedy 

I still wouldn’t press rewind 



making fun of all our married friends 

while you moved out of your condo 

cause you can’t afford the rent 

if our life is slow to start 

like your fathers 80s Benz 

then I guess it doesn’t matter how it ends 



cause when it’s all going to shit

and these days it usually is..



oh no it’s a consequential world we live in 

oh no we’re just lost and lonely experts 

but for you and I 

and our peace of mind 

in the case of a tragedy 

I still wouldn’t press rewind 



what if we starve and the power goes down

running out of things we could talk about 

what do we do then, what do we do now 



so many birthdays in a Japanese house 

wouldn’t it be a shame if your parents moved out

what do we do then, what do we do now



lately old age seems around the bend 

when Mom is on depressants
and now Dad can’t feel his hands

and I’m waking up to nightmares where I’m losing all my friends 
 (but in the case of a tragedy I still wouldn’t press rewind)
