Текст (слова) песни: Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945

 
The only girl I`ve ever loved 
Was born with roses in her eyes 
But then they buried her alive 
One evening 1945 
With just her sister at her side 
And only weeks before the guns 
All came and rained on everyone 
Now she`s a little boy in Spain 
Playing pianos filled with flames 
On empty rings around the sun 
All sing to say my dream has come 
 
But now we must pick up every piece 
Of the life we used to love 
Just to keep ourselves 
At least enough to carry on 
 
And now we ride the circus wheel 
With your dark brother wrapped in white 
Says it was good to be alive 
But now he rides a comet`s flame 
And won`t be coming back again 
The Earth looks better from a star 
That`s right above from where you are 
He didn`t mean to make you cry 
With sparks that ring and bullets fly 
On empty rings around your heart 
The world just screams and falls apart 
 
But now we must pick up every piece 
Of the life we used to love 
Just to keep ourselves 
At least enough to carry on 
 
And here`s where your mother sleeps 
And here is the room where your brothers were born 
Indentions in the sheets 
Where their bodies once moved but don`t move anymore 
And it`s so sad to see the world agree 
That they`d rather see their faces fill with flies 
All when I`d want to keep white roses in their eyes
