| Neutral Milk Hotel – Oh Sister Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Here are the lyrics from the recent studio version. Oh sister, don't be afraid of me I won't be nailing you down in the nursery Just like the rest of them did with those watery Wandering fingers of spit that were supposed to be glorious and fine And oh sister, won't you believe in me I only wanted to be hard on the family Here with you now in this silly infirmary Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls from Germany all of the time And oh sister, sweet brown and beulahery Milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry There in the parlor all naked in front of me Watching the lights from the cracks making archery animal designs Rose Wallace Goldaline just moves her mouth over anything That's fleshy free and flowering Like oranges out in the open But don't you waste your sins again She don't need you or won't fuck your friends And you, well you're American self important boiling over To prove that she must still exist She moves herself about her fist And will never ever give a shit About all those words you're wasting To gain some pretty, bright, and bubbly Wondrous dream you'd like to kill and claim and claim her as your own But don't you worry all those dainty and dirty Emotions just go away and fade out on their own Sister, now that you're leaving Our fingers will falter our lungs will be leaking All over each other and without even speaking We'll know that it's over and smile and go greeting whatever comes next And oh sister you're getting married To some angry twister that you'll have to carry Home drunk every evening from the cemetery And if he makes it back half alive you can bury him under your sheets And oh sister now that you're grieving I cannot imagine there is any meaning Forgetting you ever could once have the feeling That made you keep on and pretend you to breathing of all of this world And in an age of empty rings I don't want to feel the thing I don't even want to know Rose Wallace Goldaline Don't you ever die on me Don't you oh the way you go |

| Neutral Milk Hotel – Little Birds Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Here are the lyrics from the new released studio version. It wasn't immediately obvious to me before but I realize that the lines up to the beating part and the last two are sung by the boy and the part between by his father. Little birds born without a mother or a father I can feel their feathers forming in the running water Now there is another in the middle of my mouth A hundred altogether inside of me now Little birds, little birds, come into my body Mother, they're within me every moment I'm awaking Bodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me Put your ears up to my mouth and you can hear them singing Put you hands within me and you'll know what I am feeling I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them Daddy, come towards me I could see his hands are shaking Put his hands against me he could feel their bodies breaking Pushed me to the floor and put his hands up for a beating I don't want to hear it anymore, he kept repeating Do you really want the burning hell to come and get you? Did you see the burning hell it took your baby brother? Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer? Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover And deep in sin they held each other So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in Knowing God in heaven no could never could forgive him So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in Little boy born without a mother or a father Taken to the river and then pushed into the water And the priests are singing that the hell was getting hotter LA-LA-LA-LA-LA Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the only ones to save him From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the only ones to save him And here beneath the water I can see how the light distorts so strange And this is how I would like to leave my body and start again |
