Song Against Sex
Neutral Milk Hotel

And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from this hands
And when I put my arms around him
I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks

And an eeriness 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 vane 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
Pretty girls and the 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 a pornographic page
But all the pleasure points attacking all
The looks of love were staged
And its a lie that you've been giving
It just hurts you everyday

So why should I lay here naked
When its 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
Because with a match
That's mean and some gasoline
You won't see me anymore
