Good Old Neon Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 And now we ride the circus wheelWith your dark brother wrapped in whiteSays it was good to be aliveBut now he rides a comet's flame And won't be coming back againThe Earth looks better from a starThat's right above from where you are He didn't mean to make you cry With sparks that ring and bullets fly On empty rings around your heartThe world just screams and falls apart - Neutral Milk Hotel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moe_Syzlak Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've stated many times that I'm not really a lyrics guy. I am drawn to music by the music way more than any lyrical message, story or poem. That said, my favorite lyrics are ones that paint an image. One I really like is... I watched waterbugs skateas they draw figure eights as they drawfrom the bottom of the lake as they draw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redpillbox Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 And you know you gotta goOn that train from dublin up to sandy rowThrowing pennies at the bridges down belowAnd the rain, hail, sleet, and snow ...it's more the context than the actual lines themselves.
