Текст песни Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Sister

The other tab on here is for an earlier version, this is the version on the Ferris Wheel on Fire EP.

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 that slipped
That were supposed to be glorious and fine

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

Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahry
And 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 Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything
With 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, your American self important boiling over
To prove that she must still exist
she moves herself about her fist
and won't ever never 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 cling
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 smiling or greeting
Whatever comes next

And oh sister
You're getting married with 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 greaving
I can not imagine there is any meaning
forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on
and pretend you were breathing of all of this world
In an age of empty rings
I don't want to feel a thing
I don't even want to know

and Rose Wallace Goldeline
don't you ever die on me
Don't you own the way you go
