Quotes
On Avery Island (1996)
- Someone is waiting
To swallow all the halos out of you
As your face blows through my windows
Sending pieces flying all around the room- Someone Is Waiting
- All I could want is silver and spinning out from your arms
And into the pretty pit of your heart
So simply and softly we'd flow, but I let you down
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off from my tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk- Where You'll Find Me Now
- 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- Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone
- 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- Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone
- I'm watching Naomi, full bloom
I'm hoping she will soon explode
Into one billion tastes and tunes
One billion angels come and hold her down
They hold her down until she shines- Naomi
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998)
- And this is the room, one afternoon, I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go- The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pt. I
- I love you, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, I love you, yes I do- The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pts. II & III
- I will shout until they know what I mean.
- The King Of Carrot Flowers, Pts. II & III
- And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
- How strange it is to be anything at all
- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
- Catching signals that sound in the dark
we will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking, everything that you could keep beside
Now your eyes ain't movin'
Now they just lay there in their climb- Two-Headed Boy, Pt. I
- Goldaline my dear, we will fold and freeze together
Far away from here there is sun and spring and green forever
But now we move to feel for ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
Place your body here, let your skin begin to blend itself with mine- Oh, Comely
- And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet
Ring of flowers 'round your eyes and I'll love you
For the rest of your life
(When you're ready)- Two-Headed Boy Pt. II
- And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life- Two-Headed Boy Pt. II
- Two-headed boy
She is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wire
And retire to sheets safe and clean
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave- Two-Headed Boy Pt. II
