Lyrics for Song Against Sex by Neutral Milk Hotel:
| | | Artist: | Neutral Milk Hotel |
| | Album: | On Avery Isle | | Track: | Song Against Sex | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 115 | | | | Lyrics: | And the first one tore a picture
of a dead and hanging man
who was kissing foreign
fishes
that flew right out from his hands
and when I put my arms around him
felt the
blushing blood run through my cheeks
and an eerieness surrounded
when his tongue began to
speak
and he said, "oh, boy, you are so pretty,
enough to wrap tight in rice-paper
string"
and when I finally kissed him
the whole world began to ring
lost like a bell
that's tipping over
with two cracks along both sides
and I knew the world was over
so
I took a look outside
and watched the fires that were reaching
up to the weather vanes and
the tops of trees
and the waiting scene and the Sunday dream
they're all waiting here for
me
Deli markets with their flower stands
and pretty girls and the burning
men
hanging out on the hooks
next to window displays
and I took out my
tongue
twice removed from my face
across a bridge and across the mountains
threw a
nickel in the fountain
to save my soul from all these troubled times
and all the drugs
that I don't have the guts to take
to soothe my mind so I'm always sober
always aching,
always heading towards
mass suicide, occult figurines
and wasted gas-station
attendants
attending to their jobs
and a nice drive in the country
finds a nice cliff
to drop off
oh, when this life just gets so grating
all the grittiness of life
but
don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you
you're too wonderful to die
And the
last one tore a picture
from the pornographic page
and all the pleasure points
attacking
all the looks of love were staged
and it's a lie that you've been
given
that just hurts you every day
so why should I lie here naked
when it's just too
far away
from anything we could call loving
any love worth living for
so I'll sleep
out in the gutter
you can sleep here on the floor
and when I wake up in the
morning
don't forget to lock the door
'cos with a match that's mean and some
gasoline
you won't see me anymore | | | |
