Melissa posted some Of Montreal lyrics, because she is apparently my counterpart in DFW, or I am her counterpart in ATL. So, here are your Of Montreal lyrics of the day, from me to you, in love.
Penelope
Penelope shoot the apple off my head
I need to go to the store
to get some sleep.
Because I’ve run out of sleep.
The row boat came so David stopped arguing with a mime
and waved his arms like wheat.
But when he tried to speak
the Prince of Plum fell through the roof of his mouth
and handed David an envelope.
Inside was a letter that read, ‘Sir, you were given this envelope by mistake please disregard it.’Nicolynn shoot the candle off my head
I need to go to the store
to get some beets.
To rub all over my feet.
Andy’s joke reminded Gerard
that his sloth balloon was owned by Turkish moths.
Gerard’s Lebanese boss had sent him out on business
giving his word that he would keep it looked in the safe.
But it was all deceit
cause once he had the sloth balloon
he traded it to the moths
for a lithograph of “Lady Lamenting On A Lawn Chair”.What interested Balabanoba
was building complicated French machines
designed to better enjoy the duchess,
and she him.
He helps her in the stirrups then he straps himself in
they spend their days in heights of ecstasy,
but wait.
Why then does she look so sad?
Why is her countenance so glum?
Does she tire of mechanical hands
or is she pining for the fair Prince of Plum?Lulubird shoot the doorbell off my head
I need to go to the store
to get some treats.
For Gothe, Becket and Keates.
The characters of the “Gay Parade” formed a boys choir with Static and the Red King.
But whenever they sing,
all postal workers simultaneously whisper to themselves the word ‘calendar.’

Oh, I was so going to post Penelope! I’m glad someone did, though, because I thought it excessive to post two lyrics by the same band in one week.
I almost posted Penelope instead of Party’s Crashing Us Now. I listened to Penelope about 3600 times yesterday. I do dig that song. The piano in that song is such that it gives me goosebumps and makes part of my brain melt.
So, what’s next? Wraith? Let’s find out on “Of Montreal Mondays”.
Well, you’ve got me beat, because I’ve only listened to it about 2578 times. Today, that is.
