MGMT - In The Afternoon Lyrics






In the afternoon
Yellow curtains drawn
Designed with comfort in mind
Glowering into the night
Feel like letting go
Final resting place
The house cat knows when it's time
To enter another phase

But you looked sad
In a reassuring way
And I don't want to leave
So we can both be the same

In the afternoon
Modern sovereignty
The sunlight stopped coming through
And we lost the game
Brains like nesting dolls
Plotting their escape
The doorman sees you're alone
He can't seem to find your name

But you my friend
Know problems can't be solved
And they don't understand
And somehow it's all the same
And somehow it's all the same
And somehow it's all the same
And somehow it's all the same

Relief is like candy
The sweetest kind of love
Who'd guess that I'd feel this way?
Like a kid in a candy store
A kid in a candy store
A kid in a candy store
A kid in a candy store
A kid in a candy store
A kid in a candy store
A kid in a candy store
A kid in a candy store

  62. J.... P....

    I luv u Andrew 💖

  63. M.... T....

    this is the closest you can get to a high dosis of lsd without taking lsd. i feel like it's even closer to dmt, haven't tried it though.

    Still praying MGMT gets saved by Jesus so they can make some Godly worship music. How old are they and they still acting like high schoolers or something.

  70. k.... ....

    k.... ....

    a mi si

  71. A.... G....

    Merry Xmas mi Suki...C U soon...promise...i kno U miss her my green eyed bby doll🖤💜💗💋

  72. A.... A....

    Every song they make harkens back to Ghostbusters. I just imagine little MGMT listening to the Ghostbusters song and having their little minds blown

  73. J.... T....

    Why does it sound so off key?

  74. B.... M....

    i love this song! best christmas gift! thanks MGMT Records!

  75. S.... P....

    what a amazing music video, mgmt have great aesthetic taste

  76. S.... C....

    Its too dark imo. Its dont sound like MGMT.
    Electric Feel type of thang were better.

  77. w.... w....

    sounds... like donnie darko new movie soundtrack

  78. D.... B....

    A KID IN A CANDY STOOORE

  79. s.... ....

    some people say this is a grower.
    full respect.
    but this is a 100% shower.
    not the kind to cleanse yourself within.
    although you could try that.
    i would.

  80. i.... ....

    Is this Indie?

  81. h.... ....

    🔥🔥

  82. T.... B....

    Y thanks we needed some kind of new song to dance to at the golf club

  83. r.... c....

    Touches a place in my mind only the doses usually reach

  84. A.... T....

    I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!
    I first heard it on Christmas day, my husband and I were cruising around the neighborhoods to see the decorated lawns. The eerie/cheery vibe combined with the colorful lights... like a kid in a candy store.... so perfect, because Christmas is supposed to be joyful, but it's quite depressing at the same time... Broken family trying to remain intact and sane through the chaos that we call "the holidays".
    I cannot stop listening to it. Thank you mgmt for this! I needed something to match my mood in these confusing times.

  85. j.... c....

    80's throwback. i like it.

  86. E.... M....

    "Terrance Mckenna was reincarnated, just to give this video an even more psychedelic theme. Sadly he crystallized back into the DMT realm before we could get any of his usual wise insight on his adventures there."

  87. r.... ....

    It's like pornography era Cure covering Velouria by Pixies while on robitussin. excellent!

    r.... ....

    Yes it does

  88. C.... Q....

    This song makes me feel like I’m listening to MGMT for the first time, amazing artists can do this. Also I’m high, ¡puñeta yo les amo con toda mi alma!

  89. e.... ....

    Cool song. Reminds me of "love my way" by the psychedelic furs.

  90. i.... o....

    Welcome back ❤

  91. N.... M....

    This song summarizes something that I cannot about how I've felt lately.

  92. T.... S....

    Amazing..

  93. P.... O....

    "any ideas for a music video?"
    "Uhhh yeah just smoke some DMT and write down what you see"

  94. Z.... ....

    warming up to this faster than expected
