MGMT - Song for Dan Treacy lyrics

He spends his time or maybe half of his time
Or part of the time wandering
Around the creeks and cobble
Stones of Hackney lanes
With a tear in his eye
As the children walk by
He's thinking of a song
And then stops to paint a picture of a frown
Walking around

Dan Treacy's smile
Leaves you trying to decide
Who's the victim, what's the crime?
No rest for the mind that's
Seen it all before
And I don't know where he lives
But he's a myth of a man
And Texas Bob the cameraman
Is off to fix his suit before the show
Yeah, but where did he go?

To know when your time's up
You flip the glass and
Watch the hours quickening
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
In the back of the station
Fluorescent lights about to
Quit their flickering
Well, he speaks his mind, he says
"What is crime?" dan Treacy's eyes

In the middle of the park
When the underground is dark
He's a poet, he's a lark
He starts thinking about a place
That no one knows
And when the creeks run dry
He stays frozen in time
Strange lights in the sky start blinking
I can see the car outside but he's listening
Ooh he's listening, ooh he's listening, ah
And he's making up his mind

(He made his mind up) To
Get things done and overcome
(He made his mind up) yeah
He's gonna let it go
(He made his mind up) In the
Park and at the station
(He made his mind up) yeah
He's gonna get it done
(He made his mind up) Ooh yeah
He's gonna get it done (He made his mind up)

Yeah, he's gonna let it go, ooh ooh
No matter the time, oh, oh
When the creeps run by, oh no
He's making his mind up, oh, oh, oh, oh

Said, yeah, he's gonna get it done, whoa oh
Oh yeah, when the creeks run dry, whoa oh
Say, yeah, he's gonna listen to his soul
Say, yeah, when the creeps walk by
"Come here boy, look me in the eye"
Bow to the heart
Back to the beat of Dan Treacy
