The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. One Songtext

von Neutral Milk Hotel

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built the tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all round your feet

And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

This is the room one afternoon I knew I cuold love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go

And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
