Neutral Milk Hotel - Gardenhead (Leave Me Alone) lyrics

rate me

There are beads that wrap

Around your knees that crackle into the dark

Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head

Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead

This time we ride roller coasters into the ocean

We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world

And I guess it's worth your time

Because there's some lives you live

And some you leave behind

It gets hard to explain

The gardenhead knows my name

Leave me alone, for you know this isn't the first time

In fact this is twice in a row

That the angels have slipped through our landslide

And filled up our garden with snow

And I don't wish to taste of your insides

Or to call out your name through my phone

For the glory boys at your bedside will love you

As long as you're something to own

Follow me through a city of frost covered angels

I swear I have nothing to prove

I just want to dance in your tangles

To give me some reason to move

But to take on the world at all angles

Requires a strength I can't use

So I'll meet you up high in your anger

Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
