[00:00.00]Holland, 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel
[00:14.71]The only girl
[00:15.92]I've ever loved
[00:19.55]Was born with roses in her eyes
[00:24.38]But then they buried her alive
[00:26.68]One evening 1945
[00:29.40]With just her sister at her side
[00:31.52]And only weeks before the guns
[00:34.15]All came and rained on everyone
[00:36.22]Now she's a little boy in
[00:38.33]Spain playing pianos filled with flames
[00:41.28]On empty rings around the sun
[00:43.54]All sing to say my dream has come
[00:48.76]But now we must pick up every piece
[00:53.94]Of the life we used to love
[00:58.80]Just to keep ourselves
[01:02.03]At least enough to carry on
[01:09.97]And now we ride the circus wheel
[01:14.55]With your dark brother wrapped in white
[01:19.27]Says it was good to be alive
[01:21.67]But now he rides a comet's flame
[01:24.04]And won't be coming back again
[01:26.60]The earth looks better from a star
[01:29.00]That's right above from where you are
[01:31.47]He didn't mean to make you cry
[01:33.69]With sparks that ring and bullets fly
[01:36.02]On empty rings around your heart
[01:38.36]The world just screams and falls apart
[01:44.12]But now we must pick up every piece
[01:49.05]Of the life we used to love
[01:53.79]Just to keep ourselves
[01:56.96]At least enough to carry on
[02:03.14]And here's where your mother sleeps
[02:07.61]And here is the room where your brothers were born
[02:13.06]Indentions in where sheets
[02:16.80]Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
[02:21.75]And it's so sad to see the world agree
[02:27.56]That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
[02:31.69]All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
