Buffalo Replaced Lyrics

Mitski Buffalo Replaced

[Verse 1]
Mosquitoes can enjoy me, I can't go inside
I'm suckin' up as much of the full moon, so bright
Fireflies zoomin' through the yard like highway cars
Someone out here burnin' something, kids feelin' alive

[Chorus]
Freight train stampedin' through my backyard
It'll run across the plains like the new buffalo replaced

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I have a hope and though she's blind with no name
She shits 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 sleepin' face

[Chorus]
Freight train horn howlin' out mad and wild
Headin' somewhere far away like the new buffalo replaced

[Post-Chorus]
Oooh, ahhh
Ooh, ooh
