Текст (слова) песни: Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Sister

 
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 beulahery 
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 
Fleshy free and flowering with 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, you`re American, so important boiling over 
To prove that she must still exist 
she moves herself about her fist 
and never ever gave a shit 
about all those words you`re wasting again 
Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dream 
you`d like to kill and claim 
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 we`re grieving 
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 smile and go 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 leaving 
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 the thing 
I don`t even want to know 
and Rose Wallace Goldeline 
don`t you ever die on me 
all the way it goes.
