Текст (слова) песни: Neutral Milk Hotel - Little Birds

 
Little birds born without a mother or a father 
I can watch their bodies forming in the running water 
Now there is another in the middle of my mouth 
A hundred altogether within me now 
Little bird, little bird come into my body 
 
Mother, they`re within me every moment I`m awaking 
Bodies multiplying until they finally overtake me 
Open up my mouth but all you`ll ever hear is singing 
Put you hand within me and you`ll know what I`m feeling 
I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them 
 
Daddy come to touch me but he seen his hands are shaking 
Look into my eyes and he could see their bodies breaking 
Push me to the floor and in his hands I started beating 
"I don`t want to hear it anymore", he kept repeating 
Do you really want the burning hell that we believe in? 
 
Did you know the burning hell it took your baby brother? 
Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer? 
Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover 
And deep in sin they held each other 
So I took a hammer and nearly beat his little brains in 
Knowing God in heaven could have, never could forgive him 
So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains in 
 
Little boy born without a father of a mother 
Taken to the river and then pushed into the water 
And the priests are singing that the hell is getting hotter 
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him 
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him 
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him 
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him 
 
And here beneath the water I can see 
How the lights distort so strange 
And I think this is how I would like to leave my body 
And start again
