Beat on the gong with him, on, on
It end the way down low
But you can't go where they all go
Read about me, not me, not me, it ends with me
When the leaves begin to fall
I try to catch 'em all

California
This, this music makes me cry
It sounds just like my soul, oh
Oh I'm not ready to win
Oh lord cause I don't wanna know what they say
Cause I get carried away
Commodifying all the pain
The things they see in me, I cannot see myself
When you get bored of me, I'll be back on the shelf
And when the ocean rises up above the ground
Baby I'll drown in...
California
You only like me when you think I'm looking sad
California
I didn't think you'd end up treating me so bad
Oh, I, I, I
Come Monday, it's a dream
Oh, I, I, I
Broken my own heart again
Chasing something beautiful
Oh, but I don't understand what they say
Cause I get carried away
Commodifying all the pain
The things they see in me, I cannot see myself
When you get bored of me, I'll be back on the shelf
And when the ocean rises up above the ground
Baby I'll drown in...
California
You only like me when you think I'm looking sad
California
I didn't think you'd end up treating me so bad
California
You only like me when you think I'm looking sad
California
I didn't think you'd end up treating me so bad
Oh, I, oh, I
Oh na, na, na, ne
It sounds just like my soul, oh
Oh I'm not ready to win
Oh lord cause I don't wanna know what they say
Cause I get carried away
Commodifying all the pain
The things they see in me, I cannot see myself
When you get bored of me, I'll be back on the shelf
And when the ocean rises up above the ground
Baby I'll drown in...
California
You only like me when you think I'm looking sad

Scream
[ Featuring Aristophanes ]
[Translation:]
A scream that hides in the lungs
Hides within your flesh and bones
There is no way for a cure
It becomes a disease
Once dry then dripping wet
Swells and is meaty and juicy
At the same time a woman with her full black hair
walks on the mountains in dreamscape
Memories siphon like mosquitoes
Open their unblinking eyes
Like huge half-flared, unlusting nostrils
I've bitten down - are you still unmoved?
You you you can scream out now
Following your spine
My finger creates an icy lake
Look around - no one's watching
Tear off your jacket and jump in with tears streaming
I want to record you orgasm
But I pressed the wrong key
Lost time cannot be taken back
Lying pitifully
Fighting fluid
Sticky and transparent in my palm - it stays elastic
I can't have enough - I want to milk more from your body
At this time the telephone rings
A pack of deer waits outside the window at the same time
The blue wind almost scatters but froths
Escapes from your opening eyes
Pick up the phone and loneliness falls
The lust and screams that are born
I listen to as I lick off your sweat bead by bead
If you can't scream it out then swallow it down

Flesh Without Blood
Live as yourself
You claw, you fight, you lose
Got a doll that looks just like you
Remember when we used to say
"I love you" almost every day
I saw a light in you
Going out as I closed our window
You never liked me anyway
I don't see the light I saw in you before
And now I don't, and now I don't
And now I don't care anymore
(And now I don't care anymore)
Baby, believe me
If you had every chance
You'd destroy everything you love
(Uncontrollable)
If you don't need me
Just let me go
You hate, you bite, you lose
After all, I just don't like you
It's nice that you say you like me
But only conditionally
Your voice, it had the perfect flow
It got lost when you gave it up though
Cause you want money
You want fame
I don't see the light I saw in you before
And now I don't, and now I don't
And now I don't care anymore
(And now I don't care anymore)
Baby, believe me
If you had every chance
You'd destroy everything you love
(Uncontrollable)
If you don't need me
Just let me go
Baby, believe me
I don't know how many times
You destroyed everything that you love
(Uncontrollable)
If you don't need me
Just let me go
Baby, believe me
I don't know how many times
You destroyed everything that you love
(Uncontrollable)
If you don't need me
Just let me go

I, I could feel The World Today
Everybody dies in the Point they arise and we dance like angels to
Breaking all you need in the shapes of faiths and knowledge of you
And you'll never get sad and you'll never get sick
And you'll never get weak
In the Belly of the Beat Yeah!
I, I've been thinking
I've been thinking
I, I could leave the world today
Everybody dies, we cut out their eyes and we dance like angels do
Breaking our name in a world that feigns some knowledge of you
And you'll never get sad and you'll never get sick
And you'll never get weak
In the Belly of the Beat Yeah!
I've been thinking

Fly through the night, fly like everyone I know
Like everyone, I've been conceited
Fly through the night, doesn't matter where you go
When you leave, I feel so defeated
Oh, you don't know where you're from
And you got nowhere to go?
Don't tell me with your story, cause I've got my own
Never better [?]
You come and go, but I love you so (so)
Easily, I'm the sweetest damn thing you ever saw
Easily, suddenly, you don't know me at all
Easily, three years later and now you wanna call
Easily-y-y-y

Pin
Dirt on your fingernails, blood on your knees
But did that ever make you happy?
I think you were my best friend, gentle, do not apprehend
I know it hasn't been a dream, but if you pardon, I will mend
Drunk in a parking lot, just after three
Tearin' out your hair like a banshee
Lighter and a safety pin, light the end, burn to skin
I'll stick to you forever, 'cause this scar, I think is permanent
Ooh ooh
Falling off the edge with you, ooh ooh
It was too good to be true
Too good to be true
Bite off your fingernails, cut off your skin
Tell me that it didn't happen
Running through the dark woods, falling, couldn't see straight
I was only looking for a human to reciprocate
Baby it's a black hole, I need it to breathe
But does it really make you happy?
Kiss me with a big knife, bloody heart of paradise
Led him like a soldier, peace of mind, must be nice
Ooh ooh
Falling off the edge with you, ooh ooh
It was too good to be true
Too good to be true
Thought I had won, I thought I won til I lost
I, fixing my fall, but for what cost?
And I see your reflection when I look in mine
And I say, I say (I say)
Baby, don't look away
Falling off the edge with you, ahh ooh ooh ooh
It was too good to be true
Ooh, falling off the edge with you
It was too good to be true
Too good to be true
But did that ever make you happy?
I think you were my best friend, gentle, do not apprehend
I know it hasn't been a dream, but if you pardon, I will mend

[Verse 1:]
When we were young, we used to live so close to it
And we were scared and we were beautiful
And when I peered over the edge and seen death, if we are always the same
Oh, and I feel that nothing in life could ever be like this again
'Cause your love kept me alive and made me insane
[Pre-chorus:]
There were moments when it seemed okay
(But I go back alone)
To this moment away, where do you stay?
(I go back alone)
There was a time when the music would play

Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see

World Princess part II
I got a big dream, small world in between
Me and everything I can't do
Not really bad day, just okay
I kinda think you sucked the life right out of the room
I know most likely
How I used to be a frail and silly thought in your mind
Don't be unkind
You're so far behind me
But I can see something more
Than the things you try to take
Now, who made a mistake?
Don't you cry
It's mine
It's mine
I saw the parade, big band, masquerade
So I'm thinkin' out on my feet
Back at the first page, shut the game, for you, it ain't
Oh, nothing else could be more complete
I know most likely
How I used to be a frail and silly thought in your mind
Call me unkind
You're so far behind me
But I can see something more
Than the things you try to take
Now, who made a mistake?
Don't you cry
It's mine
It's mine
Dim the light
In your head, in your heart, in your hiding emotion
Where the waters meet
Dim the light
In the head, in the heart, in your hiding emotion
Where the waters meet
But I can see something more
Than the things you try to take
Now, who made a mistake?
Don't you cry
It's fine
It's fine
It's mine
It's mine
It's mine
If I stare into the darkness, I won't know where I am
I haven't seen the daylight since I started giving in
My eyes are falling heavy, my feet are moving slow
Ion, from man in form, not a stone
Me and everything I can't do
Not really bad day, just okay
I kinda think you sucked the life right out of the room
I know most likely
How I used to be a frail and silly thought in your mind
Don't be unkind
You're so far behind me
But I can see something more
Than the things you try to take
Now, who made a mistake?
Don't you cry

Venus Fly
[ Featuring Janelle Monae ]
Oh, why you looking at me again?
Oh, why you looking at me again?
Why you looking at me now?
Why you looking at me again?
What if I pulled my teeth?
Cut my hair underneath my chin
Wrapped my curls all around the world
Throw my pearls all across the floor
Feel my beat like a snacker girl
(If I want it more)
Hey, what about me?
Oh, why you looking at me?
Oh, why you looking at me
I'm dancing
Hey, what about me?
Oh, why you looking at me?
Oh, why you looking at me against them?
Kitty, kitty, kitty cat
Why you always doing that?
Why you always talking smack?
Yeah, Grimes got my back
Kitty, kitty, kitty cat
Why you always doing that?
Why you always talking smack?
Grimes
Why you looking at me now?
Why you looking at me again?
What if I pulled my teeth?
Cut my hair underneath my chin
Wrapped my curls all around the world
Throw my pearls all across the floor
Feel my beat like a snacker girl
(If I want it more)
Hey, what about me?
Oh, why you looking at me?
Oh, why you looking at me
I'm dancing
Hey, what about me?
Oh, why you looking at me?
Oh, why you looking at me against them?
The floor
What about?
Again
Boy you looking at me
Again
Again
Hey, oh why you looking at me
Oh, why you looking at me?
Me against them

Life In The Vivid Dream
I could live in the world just like a stranger
I could tell you the truth or a lie
I could tell you that people are good in the end
But why, why would I?
Angels will cry when it's raining
Tears that are no longer clean
What do you mean?
What do you mean, so gone?
I waited here so long
I couldn't leave you
I think that you might think
Now that you're missing something
You won't leave the world with me
Live as yourself
Live as yourself
I could tell you the truth or a lie
I could tell you that people are good in the end
But why, why would I?
Angels will cry when it's raining
Tears that are no longer clean
What do you mean?
What do you mean, so gone?
I waited here so long
I couldn't leave you
I think that you might think
Now that you're missing something
You won't leave the world with me
Live as yourself
Live as yourself

Butterfly
Big beats, black cloud
Get it wrong, get loud
Write a song, get down
And everyone will know
And everyone will know
And everyone can go
Oh, then, get lost
Take a shit, maybe not
Let's sing good, he's fine
Everything you know
And everyone should go
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I don't know need to know
So, do know you want to?
Am I just right? (Is it just right?)
Can you see the enemy just isn't me?
Oh, it is perfect
It could be anything out there
Butterflies flying in the air
Oh, no, it came
Higher than an aeroplane
Don't know this song
Sweeter than a sugar cane
Why you looking for a harmony?
There is harmony in everything
It's a butterfly who waits for the world
Why don't we get caught?
Quit and sell livestock
Heck, get an old body
Got you moaning slow
And everyone will know
And everyone can go
Big bird, dimming
Wish I could save them
Don't know, no plan
Everyone can go
And nobody can know
And nobody can know
I don't know need to know
So, do you want to?
Am I just (am I just?)
Can you see the enemy just isn't me?
Oh, baby, it is perfect
It could be anything out there
Butterflies flying in the air
Oh, no, it came
Higher than an aeroplane
Don't know this song
Sweeter than a sugar cane
Why you looking for a harmony?
There is harmony in everything
It's a butterfly who waits for wind
To fly away
If you're looking for a dream girl
I'll never be your dream girl
Living in the real world
Looking for a dream girl
Oh, no, it came
Higher than an aeroplane
Don't know this song
Sweeter than a sugar cane
Why you looking for a harmony?
There is harmony in everything
It's a butterfly who waits for the world
To fly away
If you're looking for a dream girl
I'l never be your dream girl
Get it wrong, get loud
Write a song, get down
And everyone will know
And everyone will know
And everyone can go
Oh, then, get lost
Take a shit, maybe not
Let's sing good, he's fine
Everything you know
And everyone should go
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I don't know need to know

Art Angels is the fourth studio album by Canadian musician Grimes, pseudonym of Claire Elise Boucher. It was digitally released on November 6, 2015, through 4AD, and in physical formats on December 11. Boucher began planning the record in 2013 as the follow-up to her third studio album, Visions; however, for unknown reasons, she scrapped most of the material from these sessions and began a new set of recordings in 2014. The track "Realiti", which came from the earlier recordings, was released as a demo in early 2015.
Art Angels has been described as being more accessible than Boucher's previous albums while retaining her experimental influences. The album features guest appearances by Taiwanese rapper Aristophanes and American singer Janelle Monáe. The album spawned two singles—"Flesh Without Blood" and "Kill V. Maim"—as well as music videos for several tracks. Art Angels sold 11,000 copies in its first week, peaking at number 36 in the United States. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim and was ranked by several publications as one of the best albums of 2015.
