Neutral Milk Hotel - Little Birds (unfinished version one) lyrics

Little birds born without a mother or a father I can feel their feathers forming in the running water Now there is another in the middle of my mouth A hundred altogether inside of me now Little birds, little birds, come into my body Mother, they're within me every moment I'm awaking Bodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me Put your ears up to my mouth and you can hear them singing Put you hands within me and you'll know what I am feeling I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them Daddy, come towards me I could see his hands are shaking Put his hands against me he could feel their bodies breaking Pushed me to the floor and put his hands up for a beating "I don't want to hear it anymore", he kept repeating "Do you really want the burning hell to come and get you?" "Did you see the burning hell it took your baby brother? Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer? Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover And deep in sin they held each other So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in Knowing God in heaven no could never could forgive him So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in" Little boy born without a mother or a father Taken to the river and then pushed into the water And the priests are singing that the hell was getting hotter LA-LA-LA-LA-LA Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the only ones to save him From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the only ones to save him And here beneath the water I can see how the light distorts so strange And this is how I would like to leave my body and start again
