Ideally, they'd be tweaked in some way to match the canvas.
Something about the lyrics, sung with such clarity and dominance in such a lazy way, makes me want to hear something else. The song would benefit from a "kid a" style vocal scramble of some kind. Done right, that might even put the thing over the edge for me.

it works pretty well as is. the song provides a feeling of relief, breathing easy. a sigh of relief. any additional activity would only clutter it up and disrupt the feeling of
ease going on there. diff'rent strokes...
