Song Against Sex  Neutral Milk Hotel

Album: On Avery Island
Song: Song Against Sex
And the [Bb]first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from this hands
And when I [F]put my arms around him
I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
And an [Bb]eeriness surrounded when his tongue began to speak
And he said, "Oh [F]boy you are so pretty
Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string..."
And [Bb]when I finally kissed him the whole world began to ring
Lost like a [F]bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
And I [Bb]knew the world was over so I took a look outside
And watched the [F]fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vane and the tops of trees
And the [Bb]waiting scene and the Sunday dream
They're all waiting here for me[F] [Bb]
Deli [Bb]markets with their flower stands
And pretty girls and the burning men
Hanging [F]out on the hooks next to the window displays
And I took out my tongue twice removed from my face
Across a [Bb]bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in a fountain
To save my [F]soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take
To soothe my mind so I'm always [Bb]sober
Always aching, always heading towards
Mass sui[F]cide, occult figurines
And wasted gas-station attendents
Attending to their jobs
And a [Bb]nice drive in the country
Finds a nice cliff to drop off
Oh when this [F]life just gets so grating
All the grittiness of life
But don't [Bb]take those pills your boyfriend gave you
You're too wonderful to die[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
And the [Bb]last one tore a picture
From the pornographic page
But all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
And it's a [F]lie that you've been given
It just hurts you every day
So why [Bb]should i lay here naked
When it's just too far away
From any[F]thing we could call loving
Any love worth living for
So I'll [Bb]sleep out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
And when I [F]wake up in the morning
I won't forget to lock the door
'Cause with a [Bb]match that's mean and some gasoline
You won't see me anymore[F] [Bb]
