Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comely lyrics

Oh Comely,

I will be with you when you lose your breath

Chasing the only

Meaningful memory you thought you had left

With some pretty, bright and bubbly terrible scene

That was doing her thing on your chest

But oh, comely

It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess

In your memory, you're drunk on neurotomy

It doesn't mean anything at all.

Oh, Comely

All of your friends are all letting you blow

Bristling and ugly, bursting with fruits falling out from the holes

of some pretty, bright and bubbly friend you could need

to say comforting things in your ear, but oh comely,

There isn't such one friend that you could find here

Standing next to me, he's only my enemy

I'll crush him with everything I own

Say what you want to say,

Hang for your hollow ways, moving your mouth

To pull out all your miracle aim For me.

The father made fetuses with flesh licking ladies

While you and your mother were asleep in the trailer park

Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums

The music and medicine you needed for comforting

So make all your fat, fleshy fingers fingers to moving

And pluck all your silly strings and

Bend all your notes for me and

Soft silly music is meaningful, magical

The movements were beautiful

All in your ovaries

All of them milking with green fleshy flowers

While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines,

Smelling of semen all under the garden

Was all you were needing when you still believed in me,

Say what you want to say,

Hang for your hollow ways, moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle aim

For me.

Da, da da da da da da....

I know they buried her body with others,

Her sister and mother and five hundred families

And will she remember me fifty years later

I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine

Know all your enemies.

We know who our enemies are.

Know all your enemies.

We know who our enemies are.

Da, da da da da da da.....

Goldaline my dear,

We will fold and freeze together

Far away from here

There is sun and spring and green forever,

But now we move to feel

For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach

Place your body here let your skin begin to blend itself with mine,

Da, da da da da da da....
