I Found a Whistle - MGMT

Hey, I found a whistle that hangs like a charm

And when my noose is tied I could blow it

And fall down into your arms

15 centuries of dissolution and grief

To return a yellow trickster and a thief

Hey, I found a whistle that works every time

That’s when the trail escapes to nowhere

And the flood erases the crime

Such conviction, to paint all the walls with the blood

Of the young and the faithful and the good

Yeah, I found a whistle as thin as a sheet

To split the dumbness of a vision

Between a sleep and asleep

Tiny axes repeatedly raising the flag

All ignored, real emotion’s such a drag

Hey, I’ve got a pistol that’s aimed at your heart

And on dark nights when the moon is right, I could show you

The head attached with a scarf

Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates

When it’s gone, has it gone all the way?

This time, found a whistle that works every time

Yeah, I found a whistle that works

Hangs like a charm on my neck

Found a whistle that works every time

Yeah, I found a whistle that works

Closes my mind every time

A whistle, I’ve got it

I’ve got it this time
