Lyrics Devendra Banhart – Kantori Ongaku

It’s getting too late
To tell if it’s too soon
And the future’s being born
Right here in this room

Ooh
Kantori ongaku
Shikata ga nai

Like a flower on an east end block
Living from groupie to groupie
That’s all the love that some of us known
That’s all the love some known

All the death in my house
Makes it easy to shop online
Where the signal is strong
And the tech flows like wine
And I know you’ve traveled far
But you still where you are

Look out
Kantori ongaku
Shikata ga nai

What’s the loving I’ve made
To the loving I lack?
I showed up at your wedding
Hoping you would take me back
‘Cause I was beautiful
When you looked at me like that

Look out
Kantori ongaku

Like a mummy, lived three thousand years
Finally let a smile
That’s all the world that some of us known
That’s all the world some known

Well, the older I get
The less I fear anyone I see
And little or more
I fear humanity
Well, you called me on the phone
But you didn’t, as if

Look out
Kantori ongaku
Shikata ga nai

Still there’s no more beautiful pace
And the moon light up your face
And the moon light up your face
And the moon light up your face
And the moon light up your face
