Stephen Malkmus - Phantasies Lyrics

Wake up early and come rocket to Alaska
We put our masks on and welcome the dawn
Call the huskies and collide into their fur
Fragrantly overcast

Don't be a bitter man, it could be worser
A slave in Belarus or a mountain in Japan
It's cold as shit, it's always that way
Sometimes it gets to 99 below

Whoa whoa
Love is some lovely fantasies
Whoa whoa
I got some lovely fantasies
And you got some lovely fantasies
Tear off the top of your memory,
It's running, running, running, running away

After hours fiction cools on the ice we drilled
And you told me you had a plan
Let's immigrate south to Sarasota
Where the marlin fishing never lets up 'til you want it to

White men go to pieces in the tropics
I bet that is a topic you'd rather not broach
Later on I'm gonna turn the heat to 10
I'll thaw your foolish dreams away

Whoa whoa
Love is some lovely fantasies
Whoa whoa
I got some lovely fantasies
And you got some lovely fantasies
Tear off the top of your memory,
It's running, running, running, running away
