Lyrics The Deal – Mitski

There’s a deal you can make
On a midnight walk alone
Look around, listen close
Hear it fall from above
It will ask what you’d give
And what you’d take for it in return
I once went on such a walk
And I found that I’d said

I want someone to take this soul
I can’t bear to keep it
I’d give it just to give
And all I will take are the consequences
Will somebody take this soul

Then of course, nothing replied
Nothing speaks to you in the night
And I walked my way home
There was no one in sight
Save a bird perched upon a streetlight
Watching me
So stopped and let it watch
Till I found that it said

Now I’m taken, the night has me
You won’t hear me singing
You’re a cage without me
Your pain is eased but you’ll never be free, for
Now I’m taken, the night has me

There’s a deal that I made
There’s a deal that I made
There’s a deal that I made
There’s a deal…

Lyrics Buffalo Replaced – Mitski

Mosquitos can enjoy me, I can’t go inside
I’m sucking up as much of the full moon so bright
Fireflies zooming through the yard like highway cars
Someone out here burning something, kids feeling alive

Freight train stampeding through my backyard
It’ll run across the plains like the new buffalo replaced

I have a hope, and though she’s blind with no name
She sh!ts where she’s supposed to, feeds herself while I’m away
Sometimes I think it would be easier without her
But I know nothing can hurt me when I see her sleeping face

Freight train horn howling out mad and wild
Heading somewhere far away like the new buffalo replaced…

Lyrics My Love Mine All Mine – Mitski

Moon, a hole of light
Through the big top tent up high
Here before and after me
Shining down on me
Moon, tell me if I could
Send up my heart to you
So when I die, which I must do
Could it shine down here with you

‘Cause my love is mine all mine
I love, my my mine
Nothing in the world belongs to me
But my love, mine all mine all mine

My baby here on earth
Showed me what my heart was worth
So when it comes to be my turn
Could you shine it down here for her

‘Cause my love is mine all mine
I love, my my mine
Nothing in the world belongs to me
But my love, mine all mine
Nothing in the world is mine for free
But my love, mine all mine all mine…
