Devendra Banhart - Kantori Ongaku Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's getting too late
To tell if it's too soon
And the future's being born
Right here in this room
Press the button of world peace
And wipe out everything but the moon

[Chorus]
Ooh
Kantori ongaku
Shikata ga nai

[Post-Chorus]
Like a flower on an east end block
Living from bouquet to bouquet
That's all the love that some of us know
That's all the love some know

[Verse 2]
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 traveled far
But you're still where you are

[Chorus]
Look out
Kantori ongaku
Shikata ga nai

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Look out
Kantori ongaku
Ooh
Unaka sui mono sa

[Post-Chorus]
Like a mummy, that three thousand years
Finally learning to smile
That's all the world that some of us know
That's all the world some know

[Verse 4]
Well, the older I get
The less I fear anyone I see
And yet all the more, I fear humanity
Well, you called me on the phone
But you didn't, I see

[Chorus]
Look out
Kantori ongaku
Shikata ga nai

[Outro]
Still there's no more beautiful place
Than the moonlight on your face
Than the moonlight on your face
Than the moonlight on your face
Than the moonlight on your face
