The opening track from Neutral Milk Hotel’s sophomore album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. It is followed by “The King of Carrot Flowers, Pts. Two and Three.”
[Verse 1]
When you were young, you were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
[Verse 2]
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
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
The King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. One was written by Jeff Mangum.
The King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. One was produced by Robert Schneider.
