Lyrics Devendra Banhart

Devendra Banhart

Rats

One above

Heaven under

One for thirst

One for hunger

I am the dark

You are the thunder

I am the doubt

You are the wonder

Since time began

You've been the long time man

And mama ain't it grand

That I get to be the fool again

I get to be the fool again

I close my eyes and I see you dancing

Do you see me when you close yours too

'Cause every kiss that I don't give

Is another life that I don't live

And mama it's so much sweeter when I do, hey

Love

Is light ignited

And everyone

Is invited

But if you don't ever try

How can you give it one more try

If you don't ever ever try

How can you give it one more try

Give it one more try

I close my eyes and I see you dancing

Do you see me when you close yours too

'Cause every kiss that we don't give is another life that we don't live

And mama it's so much sweeter when we do

Rats
