Neutral Milk Hotel — Everything Is

[Monologue] Jeff: "Who were you?" Child: "A member of 'Kiss' or a punk rocker." J: "Every year?" C: "'Just kind of funny, yeah, I would dress up as a... punk rocker, when I was, um... little." J: "So what'd you do when you became a punk rocker?" C: "I wore a trash bag." - [Verse 1] Growing sleepy as the rain falls As children draped in flowers form a chain They sing a song with jelly jars and bird calls As night falls into dust and it's day again [Verse 2] I'm not afraid of a love parade in my daydream Old men with kazoos and beating drums But I awake and I see the streets are ice cream It's just you and me and oh dear, our life has just begun [Chorus] Everything is beautiful here It's spinning circles around my ears I'm finally breaking free from fear And it's fading [Verse 3] Oh beautiful smiles, won't you stay awhile We could close the door and sleep all day It's a September sky with pretty pictures in my mind That's lost its feeling of so afraid [Chorus] Everything is beautiful here It's spinning circles around my ears I'm finally breaking free from fear And it's fading [Verse 1] Grown sleepy now as the rain falls As children draped in flowers form a chain They sing a song with jelly jars and bird calls As night falls into dust and it's day again [Chorus] Everything is beautiful here It's spinning circles around my ears I'm finally breaking free from fear And it's fading
