Oh Comely Chords & Lyrics by Neutral Milk Hotel
Oh Comely
guitar chords lyrics
E C
Oh comely
E
I will be with you when you lose your breath
C E
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left
C
With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene
E
That was doing her thing on your chest
C
But oh comely
G
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory you're drunk on your awe to me
C E
It doesn't mean anything at all
C
Oh comely
E
All of your friends are letting you blow
C
Bristling and ugly
E
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
C
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
E
You could need to say comforting things in your ear
C
But oh comely
G
There isn't such one friend that you could find here
Standing next to me
He's only my enemy
E
I'll crush him with everything I own
G
say what you want to say
C
and painful your always moving your mouth
E C D G D G D G D E
to pull out all your miracles away for me
E
Your father made fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
C
While you and your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
E
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
C
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
E
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
C
And pluck all your silly strings
And bend all your notes for me
E
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
C
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
E
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
C
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
E
Smelling of semen all under the garden
E
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me
G
say what you want to say
C
and painful your always moving your mouth
E C D G D G D G D E
to pull out all your miracles away for me
E C
E
I know they buried her body with others
C
Her sister and mother and 500 families
E
And will she remember me 50 years later
C
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
E
Know all your enemies
C
We know who are enemies are
Am E (x3)
Am
Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
E
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
Am
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
E
Place your body here
Am E
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine
Am E
