Neutral Milk Hotel
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 all awaits 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
and I will spit until I learn how to speak up thru the
doorway as the sideboards creek with them ever
proclaiming me me ohhhhhhhhhhhh 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 a dead dog sing and a synthetic flying
machine machine ohhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh
(okay)
