Neutral Milk Hotel - Acid lyrics

[Intro] I feel a fading here I feel it everyday It's just a shaking fear That hits when I awake This pain has found me here Always and all to waiting And if I disappear into your hiding place [Verse 1] She had a mental problem She couldn't concentrate She was her own delusion She was her own mistake She did a lot of acid That put the voices down And one day at her birthday They found her hanging upside-down They say she lived her life on the avenue They say she cried from the weight of her spit They claim they were the only ones that she ever knew Ah, but why are they weeping now? When she was alive they were not around They were locked into their own abyss [Verse 2] We met out in the gutter We shared a smoke or two I told about my mother She showed me her tattoo We went out through the city Got lost in Fulton Town And one day at her birthday They found her hanging upside-down They say she lived her life an American They say she who*ed away for pills They claim they offered her their helping hand But their talk's all the same to me They call themselves her family It just makes me ill
