Noah's Ark

CocoRosie Noah's Ark Lyrics
1.K-Hole

Tiny spirit in a k-hole
Bloated like soggy cereal
God will come and wash away
Our tattoos and all the cocaine
And all of the aborted babies
Will turn into little bambies

Wounded river push along
Searching for that desert song
And Mozart's requiem will play
On tiny speakers made of clay
Tell my mother that I love her
Martin Luther you're an angel

Charming monkey saunter swagger
Drunken donkey limbs disjointed
Your chest is a petting zoo
Mexican pony fucked up shoes
I dreamt one thousand basketball courts
Nothing holier than sports

Dragonfly kiss your tail
Precious robot built so frail
Universe of milk and ember
Your hot kiss in mid december
What's god name I can't remember
Trough the crack eye lovely weather


2.Beautiful Boys

Antony:
Those, those beautiful boys
Those, those beautiful boys

Cocorosie:
Born illegitimately
To a whore, most likely
He became an orphan
Oh what a lovely orphan he was
Sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun

Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
He went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh how he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison

Antony :
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

Cocorosie :
His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones

Antony :
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys...
All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys...

Those beautiful boys...


3.South 2nd

Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight

We don't need no baseball bats
We don't need no silver ghats
But we're gonna fight tonight
Put up your dukes and fight
Big brother's just standing on the side
Watching you flex your pride
But you know if they all jump in
Big brother's got your skin

The ice cream truck it sings no more
All the kids from school are keeping score
You swing and you duck and you hit the floor
But you gotta get up at least once more
Mama comes screaming down the stairs
Everybody looks but nobody scares
Mama can't believe that nobody cares
It's her baby boy how do they dare
Mama says bitch come over here
If you're so tough you'll have no fear
But why'd you bring your friends
And the whole damn school
To watch my baby boy go down like a fool

But brother says mama they're the same damn size
Got to let him grow up and get street wise
But mama says baby go get that bat
And come back down and beat some ass

Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight

One wrong move and it'll be too late
Mama won't be making no birthday cake
It all went down one afternoon
In brooklyn


4.Bear hides and buffalo

Lead canoes collide inside
Pocahontas came to me in a reverie
War paint and tobacco stains
Piss on the earth
A pile of dead men
A pile of dead dead men

Bear hides and buffalo
Mildew with fever
In a time of wintryness
Naked bronze trembling queen
Stolen from Egypt
Buried in England
Island of the blue dolphin


5.Tekno love song

I fell in love with a bad bad man
Every since I met him
I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you when you sleep
Even when you're not there

Rainbows wept color all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet

Lipstick I'd wear for one million years
Just to stop your eyes from falling down tears

I fell in love with a bad bad man
Every since I met him
I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you when you sleep
Even when you're not there

Rainbows wept color all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day
We'll meet


6.The sea is calm

C'est l'histoire d'un homme
Au coeur de bois
La mer est calme
Sous l' ran de la cam a
Comme une ampoule ectrique grill
Dans un seau d'eau

The sea is calm
Through the video camera
Like a dead light bulb
In a bucket of water
Yes in a bucket of water

The sea is calm
Through handmade lenses
Like animals
In soundless dream
Like animals
In bottles of butter
A miniature sailboat
Tin foil and paper
The waves are big
And there's a warm wind...

Il est sous le feu des projecteurs
D'un soleil cass?Il a jet?son corps comme une ancre
Comme un morceau de sucre
Et s'est dissout

He's in the spotlight of a broken sun
He dropped his body like an anchor
Like a lump of sugar
And he dissolved

On the anniversary of his death
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale

Pour l'anniversaire de sa mort...


7.Milk

I want to give you my milk
Yes I want to give you my milk...


8.Noah's Ark

Thank you God for this fine day
And bless all the children all over the world
Thank you for the plants and the animals
Oh bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals and took me away
Oh Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals and took me away

And bless all of the children of the world
And thank you for the plants and the animals

With all of his animals, He took me away
Oh Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals, and he took me away

Bless all of the children of the world
Thank you for the plants and the animals
And bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals and he took me away
Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals and he took me away

Thank you for the plants and the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow
And help me be good tomorrow
Bring me, bring me sweet dreams
And help me be good tomorrow


9.Armageddon

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
And have the diamonds

Let's all gather at time square
Let's all say a prayer
For Walter Disney
And Mike Tyson
At Madison Square Garden

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
And have the diamonds

And Jesus said, 'There's a girl's best friend'
And hell they'll last forever'
And Jesus said, 'Now take her hand
And raise this harlot's bastard sun.'

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
And have the diamonds

And afterwards, we'll all go to hell
When the money's all spent
When the money's all gone
There'll be a place for us in heaven's gate
Waiting for us on lay away

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
And have the diamonds

And oh what a pity the world's not white
Oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white

And oh what a pity the world's not white
Oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white

And oh what a pity the world's not white
Oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be


10.Brazilian sun

Cuando el sol cambia color
Cuando el sol cambia su color...


11.Bisounours

Il fut un temps o?rien n' ait eint
O?seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j' ais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce d or je me sens perdu, rien n'a plus de sens
Mais j'ai encore quelques r es et si tant est que j'aie le temps
J'irai caresser leurs l res
J'ai encore quelques r es
Et si tant est que j'aie le temps j'irai caresser leurs l res
Il fut un temps o?rien n' ait eint
O?seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j' ais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce d or je me sens perdu, car rien n'a plus de sens

Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille

Je suis un enfant
Je refuse le temps

Je regarde le ciel et cet arc-en-ciel qui m'apaise
Je regarde la lumie et puis j'erre dans mes r es

Oublier le temps
Rester un enfant


There was a time when nothing was unlit
When only the gold of my heart would give the time
And then I was strong but I have lost the flower and the
innocence
In this setting I feel lost ause nothing has got anymore sense
I still have a few dreams as long as i given enough time
I l go and caress their lips
I still have a few dreams
As long as i given enough time, I l go and carress their lips
There was a time when nothing was unlit
When only the gold of my heart would give the time
And then I was strong but I have lost the flower and the
innocence
In this setting I feel lost ause nothing has got anymore sense
If the time is running too fast
I feel like I can do it

I am a child
I refuse time

I watch the sky and this rainbow alleviate myself
I watch the light and then I wander in my dreams

Forget the time
Keep being a child


12.Honey or tar

I undressed you with my eyes I have
Maybe even raped you
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
I tucked you there
And touched you in a dream last night
Pushed you aside when you entered
My thoughts at the wrong time
I have sat up upon your lap and
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
And all the while I clung heavy to your back
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine
While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
You may have been one
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Even barer than a child's
I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
Yearning that stirs
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
Like sap rising or honey or tar
