[Verse 1: Panda Bear, Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
It’s best this mess is part of the plan
The truth is moving under the ground
You’re sure the steering wheel
Is resting in your hands

[Refrain: Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
Tough to say

[Verse 2: Panda Bear, Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
You think success belongs to the bank
You take directions into the skin
An ancient motor revving up
To keep it living on

[Chorus: Panda Bear, Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
Strings tied to the hands, hands, hands, hands, hands, hands, hands
Hands upon a mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth
Strings tied to the hands, hands, hands, hands, hands, hands, hands
Hands upon a mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth
Strings tied to the hands, hands, hands, hands, hands, hands, hands
Hands upon a mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth

[Refrain: Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
Sneaky ways
Sneaky ways
[Verse 3: Panda Bear, Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
The path is written before the act
A mode of growing seems like a choice
It feels like progress
Is a product of a hidden game

[Refrain: Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
What obeys

[Verse 4: Panda Bear, Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
You measure hits by stuff in the house
It’s more sincerely smiles on the face
The instinct leads you if you do
Or if you don’t want

[Chorus: Panda Bear, Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
Tackle on a neck, neck, neck, neck, neck, neck, neck
Trapped within the ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring
Tackle on a neck, neck, neck, neck, neck, neck, neck
Trapped within the ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring
Tackle on a neck, neck, neck, neck, neck, neck, neck
Trapped within the ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring

[Refrain: Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
Tough to say
What obeys
Sneaky ways
Sneaky ways
