Quotes On Avery Island (1996) Someone is waitingTo swallow all the halos out of youAs your face blows through my windowsSending pieces flying all around the room Someone Is Waiting All I could want is silver and spinning out from your armsAnd into the pretty pit of your heartSo simply and softly we'd flow, but I let you downAnd swollen and small is where you'll find me nowWith that silver stripping off from my tongue you're tearing outAnd you'll never hear me talk Where You'll Find Me Now And I don't wish to taste of your insidesOr to call out your name through my phoneFor the glory boys at your bedsideWill love you as long as you're something to own Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone Follow me through a city of frost covered angelsI swear I have nothing to proveI just want to dance in your tanglesTo give me some reason to move Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone I'm watching Naomi, full bloomI'm hoping she will soon explodeInto one billion tastes and tunesOne billion angels come and hold her down They hold her down until she shines Naomi In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998) When you were young, you were the king of carrot flowers The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pt. I [first line of the album] And this is the room, one afternoon, I knew I could love youAnd from above you how I sank into your soulInto that secret place where no one dares to go The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pt. I And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy’s shoulderAnd dad would throw the garbage all across the floorAs we would lay and learn what each other’s bodies were for. The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pt. I I love you, Jesus ChristJesus Christ, I love you, yes I do The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pts. II & III I will shout until they know what I mean. The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pts. II & III And one day we will dieAnd our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the seaBut for now we are youngLet us lay in the sunAnd count every beautiful thing we can seeLove to beIn the arms of all I'm keeping here with me In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Oh, how I remember youHow I would push my fingers through your mouth to make those muscles moveThat made your voice so smooth and sweet. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea How strange it is to be anything at all In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Catching signals that sound in the darkwe will take off our clothesAnd they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spineAnd when all is breaking, everything that you could keep besideNow your eyes ain't movin'Now they just lay there in their climb Two-Headed Boy, Pt. I Now she’s a little boy in SpainPlaying pianos filled with flamesOn empty rings around the sun. Holland, 1945 The Earth looks better from a starThat's right above from where you are Holland, 1945 Semen stains the mountaintops Communist Daughter Goldaline my dear, we will fold and freeze togetherFar away from here there is sun and spring and green foreverBut now we move to feel for ourselves inside some stranger's stomachPlace your body here, let your skin begin to blend itself with mine Oh, Comely I know they buried her body with others her Sister and mother and 500 families And will she remember me 50 years later I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine Oh, Comely And she was born in a bottle rocket, 1929With wings that ringed around a socketRight between her spineAll drenched in milk and holy waterPouring from the skyI know that she will live foreverShe won’t ever die Ghost And in my dreams you're alive and you're cryingAs your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweetRing of flowers 'round your eyes and I'll love youFor the rest of your life(When you're ready) Two-Headed Boy Pt. II And when we break we'll wait for our miracleGod is a place where some holy spectacle liesAnd when we break we'll wait for our miracleGod is a place you will wait for the rest of your life Two-Headed Boy Pt. II Two-headed boyShe is all you could needShe will feed you tomatoes and radio wireAnd retire to sheets safe and cleanBut don't hate her when she gets up to leave Two-Headed Boy Pt.
