In an interview with FaceCulture, Panda Bear said “Car Keys I feel like is a type of song that I’ve done in a variety of ways since maybe like 2014 or so… thinking about sort of the machine of a person, sort of what makes us do things, especially like the uglier stuff that we do, like where that com...
[Verse 1: Panda Bear]
Get me back the car keys
Go in my back pocket
And rob the quick one
(Sit a spell and)
Come and get me sharply
Give it a once over
And ready the weapon
[Verse 2: Panda Bear]
With a ringer in the hand
And one stuck up in a bush
(Get me)
Come and get me softly
Enter the right chamber
Sap in a rush
[Verse 3: Panda Bear]
Wrinkled papers on the sidewalk
Mess when it blows over
Fault of no one
[Pre-Chorus: Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
And how are we doin’ now?
How are we doin’ now?
How are we doin’ now?
How arе we doin’ now?
How are we gonna know? (Hold mе, hold me)
How are we gonna know? (Hold me, hold me)
How are we gonna know? (Hold me, hold me)
How are we gonna know? (Hold me, hold me)
[Chorus: Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
A hole in the ground
And the minutes can’t make up their mind
And on a holy ground
Just how long they’d like to be
A show of gratitude
And the hours are wondering
And on your way
Why are we in such a rush?
[Verse 4: Panda Bear]
Go and hold me tightly
Give me the once over
Ready the weapon
[Chorus: Panda Bear & Avey Tare]
A hole in the ground
And the minutes can’t make up their mind
And on a holy ground
Just how long they’d like to be
A show of gratitude
And the hours are wondering
And on your way
Why are we in such a rush?
A hole in the ground
And the bluest mood isn’t blue
And on a holy ground
Did you ever meet your dark side?
A show of gratitude
And raincoats are retiring
And on your way
Even they need kinds of sun
