Текст песни Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1, 2, 3

When you were young, you were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

And this is the room one afternoon, I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

I love you, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, I love you, yes I do
I love you, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, I love you, yes I do
And on the lazy days
The dogs dissolve and drain away
The world it goes
And always waits
The day we are awaiting

Up and over
We go through the wave and undertow
I will float until I learn how to swim
Inside my mother in a garbage bin
Until I find myself again again

Up and over we go
Mouths open wide and spitting still
I will spit until I learn how to speak
Up through the doorway as the sideboards creek
With them ever proclaiming me me oh

Up and over
We go the weight it sits on down and I don't know
I will shout until they know what I mean
I mean the marriage of dead dog sing
And a synthetic flying machine, machine
Oh-Oohh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oohh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oohh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oohh-Oh-Oh
(Okay)
