Текст песни Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island (album)

These are the tabs to the album "On Avery Island" by Neutral Milk Hotel. I figured 
most of it out myself with help where noted. Enjoy!
Song Against Sex

And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from his hands
And when I put my arms around him
Felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
And an eerieness surrounded
When his tongue began to speak
And he said, "Oh, boy, you are so pretty,
Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string"
And when I finally kissed him
The whole world began to ring
Lost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
And I knew the world was over
So I took a look outside
And watched the fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vanes and the tops of trees
And the waiting scene and the Sunday dream - 
They're all waiting here for me

Deli markets with their flower stands
Their pretty girls and their burning men
Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays
And I took out my tongue, twice removed from my face
Across a bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in the fountain
To save my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take to soothe my mind 
So I'm always sober
Always aching 
Always heading towards
Mass suicide, occult figurines
And wasted gas-station attendants
Attending to their jobs
And a nice drive in the country
Finds a nice cliff to drop off
Oh, when this life just gets so grating
All the grittiness of life
But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you
You're too wonderful to die

And the last one tore a picture
From the pornographic page
And all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
And it's a lie that you've been given
That just hurts you every day
So why should I lie here naked
When it's just too far away
From anything we could call loving -
Any love worth living for?
So I'll sleep out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
And when I wake up in the morning
I won't forget to lock the door
'Cause with a match that's mean and some gasoline
You won't see me anymore

You've Passed (thanks to Liam Fletcher)

Use a capo on the 1st fret to make this easier

The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing
Through the hospital wall and away

1st Interlude

And I wanted to hold you
As you made your escape
But now I should have told you
When your eyes were alive and awake
Always in life we all must make this mistake
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please oh don't go away

2nd Interlude

I wanted to know you
Before you started to fade
But I gave everything to
A lie and a farce and a fake
Always in life we all must make this mistake
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please oh don't go away
I'd like to see you when all of these angry days blow away

Someone Is Waiting

Someone is waiting
To swallow all the halos out of you
As your face blows through my windows
Sending pieces flying all around the room

And I love you, and I want to
Shoot all the superheroes from your skies
Watch them bleeding from your ceiling
As their empty anger falls out from their eyes
All alone...

 Baby For Pree

Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen
Makes babies to breathe, with their hearts hanging open 
All over the sheets, as soft as beets in some brown 
Dresser drawer 
And with bees in her breath and the rest of her ringing, they'll 
Sting through her chest with a force hard and beating till 
Wonderfully wet she will get until she's soaked inside 
Her clothes, and there is no sorry to be sorry for
For a roll around the floor 
Some afternoon so sound and soft
It made her swallow all her sweat 
With every bit of breath she coughed
And when the day it came to pour
All her babies all across the bathroom floor
She will be swimming in them all forever more

Marching Theme

 is the main chord in this song.

Where You'll Find Me Now

All I perceive is wasted and broken
Silvery streams, sacred when spoken
Slam into me and into the ditch of debris
And you smoke in the park and sleep in the greenery
Everyone barks and they are all still believing
To tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me

But I let you down
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk 

Your teeth believe that teeth are for tearing
Tear into me and the scent of you sweating
Smells good to me
As long as we keep in our clothes

And out in the dark the world is still rolling
Kids in their cars, cigarette smoking
And all that they are just reeks with the sweetest belief

But I let you down
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off 
My tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk 

And all I could want is silver and spinning 
Out from your arms and into the pretty
Pit of your heart, so simply and softly we'd flow

But I let you down
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off 
My tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk, Glow
Into you I will glow
Into you

Gardenhead / Leave Me Alone

There are beads that wrap
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead, this time

We ride roller coasters into the ocean
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world

And I guess it's worth your time

Because there's some lives you live
And some you leave behind
It gets hard to explain
The gardenhead knows my name

Leave me alone
For you know this isn't the first time
In fact this is twice in a row
That the angels have slipped through our landslide
And filled up our garden with snow
And I don't wish the taste of your insides
Or to call out your name through my phone
For the glory boys at your bedside
Will love you as long as your something to love
Will love you as long as your something to love

Follow me through
The city of frost covered angels
I swear I have nothing to prove
I just want to dance in your tangles
To give me some reason to move
Or to take on the world at all angles
Requires a strength I can use
So I'll meet you up high in your anger
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you

Three Peaches (thanks to HipsterDoucheba)

There is no dream
So wake up run your lips across your fingers till you find
Some scent of yourself that you can hold up high
To remind yourself that you didn't die
On a day that was so crappy whole and happy you're alive

And you seem so bruised and it's beautiful
As it's reflecting off from you as it shines
And you're in the bathroom carving holiday designs into yourself
Hoping no one will find you but they found you

And they took you
And you somehow survived

There is no dream
So wake up and if the holidays don't hollow out your eyes
Then press yourself against whatever you find
To be beautiful and trembling with life

Because I'm so happy 
I'm so happy

I'm so happy
I'm so happy
That you didn't die

Naomi

Your prettiness is seeping through
Out from the dress I took from you,   so pretty
And my emptiness is swollen shut
Always a wretch i have become 
So empty
Please don't leave me

I'm watching Naomi, full bloom
I'm hoping she will soon explode
Into one billion tastes and tunes 
One billion angels come and 
Hold her down 
They could hold her down 
Until she cries

I'm tasting Naomi's perfume
It tastes like shit and I must say
She comes and goes most afternoons
One billion lovers wave and love her now
They could love her now and so could I

There is no Naomi in view 
She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls
And if she only really knew
One billion angels could come and save her soul
They could save her soul until she shines
Until she shines
Until she shines
Until she shines

So pretty
So pretty
So pretty
So pretty
And please, please don't leave me

April 8th (Thanks to Liam Fletcher)

Crawl across toward your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet

I'm of age but have no children 
No quarter phone booth calls to home 
Just late television
Inside my bedroom all alone

There is no use in waiting 
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings 
Etched in the middle of the night

Let me stretch upon your carpet 
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep

Pree-Sisters Swallowing a Donkey's Eye...
You're on your own if you want to play this one. Good luck!
