Wilco – Country Disappeared Lyrics 16 years ago
"When the cold night shakes you like a chandelier
The snowflakes break through the atmosphere,
and melt on the blue breath of the auctioneers and disappear."

Possibly the best lyric Jeff has written. Very Dylanesque!

If this isn't about his soul being lifted up and the lyric is in fact "lick me up," it's about cocaine.

Elliott Smith – Cupid's Trick Lyrics 18 years ago
The Chorus is:

"Sugar lift me up, it's my life"

It's the same theme as "Amity" - wanting his sould to be lifted up (dying)

Elliott Smith – Talking to Mary Lyrics 19 years ago
he also uses that line in the Either/Or Sessions version of "Pretty Mary K." Since the latter song sounds like it's about a prostitute, I'll venture to say that this one is also. But, not that Mary is the prostitute, but the "you" in the song.

Beautiful and haunting song.
