Wilco – Born Alone Lyrics 14 years ago
I think that the second line is: ferried Faust across the void

and the first line of the last verse sounds like: the valves are glowing stone

Neutral Milk Hotel – In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Lyrics 15 years ago
Just had a thought. Given that the entire album is about the diary of Anne Frank, and In An Aeroplane Over The Sea is kind of an introduction to the Anne Frank part of the album, the lines:

How I would push my fingers through your mouth
To make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet

refer to the fact that Mangum is putting works in Anne's mouth through his songs. He is describing wearing a figurative handpuppet (of Anne) and working the mouth and voice from within.
