Neutral Milk Hotel - Song Against Sex Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 *****
  • 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
