Neutral Milk Hotel - Where You'll Find Me Now Lyrics
All I perceive is wasted and broken
Silvery streams, sacred when spoken
Slam into me and into the ditch of debris.
And you smoke in the park, you sleep in the greenery,
Everyone barks but all still believing
But I let you down,
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out,
And you'll never hear me talk.
Your teeth believe that teeth are for tearing
Tear into me and the scent of you sweating
Smells good to me, as long as we keep in our clothes
Kids in their cars, cigarette smoking
And all that they are, just reeks with the sweetest belief.
But I let you down,
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now,
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out,
And you'll never hear me talk.
All I could want is silver and spinning
Out from your arms and into the pretty
Pit of your heart - so simply and softly we'd flow.
But I let you down,
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now,
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out,
And you'll never hear me talk.
Into you I will glow.
Into you.

Neutral Milk Hotel Where You'll Find Me Now Comments
The CIA brought me here.
great stuff
She shared this with real true love, she never shared this with me. I just spied on her and stole it whilst creepily trying to replicate the love I had researched about her. Like a fucking loony weirdo.
On Avery Island > ITAOTS
When the world turns your heart cold and into stone....
I can’t stop listening
queria doce
jeff mangum is HOT
I made a lofi hip hop cover of this song, please check it out on my channel y'all
im gonna cry
who else is here for music but also to understand a strange, reference-ridden enigma? it's just the title.
Aaron Lasarot horn lake Graceland?
"Those that come out through polished horn have truth behind them, to be accomplished for men who see them"
Completely flawless.
I want to sing this to someone after we've had to much to drink as we hold eachother.
So fucking fun to play on drums. Such an easy and catchy beat.
All I perceive is wasted and broken
Silvery streams, sacred when spoken
Slam into me and into the ditch of debris
And you smoke in the park and sleep in the greenery
Everyone barks and they are all still believing
To tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me
But I let you down
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk
Your teeth believe that teeth are for tearing
Tear into me and the scent of you sweating smells good to me
As long as we keep in our clothes
And out in the dark the world is still rolling
Kids in their cars, cigarette smoking
And all that they are just reeks with the sweetest belief
But I let you down
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk

Out from your arms and into the pretty pit of your heart
So simply and softly we'd flow

Into you
Lance Lohnes thank you.
can this song STOP play on NPR?
this has to be one of my favorite NMH songs, if not my favorite
Too bad the hipsters found this. I want to say that I was way absorbed in this album before...but that would make me a hipster for sure.
you are what you is
Caleb Edwards What a stupid fucking thing to whine about.
doesn't matter, just enjoy the music for yourself
its a good thing you pointed out that theres hipsters so that we know that you're like cool and shit
smh y'all fake fans... i listened to it in the 80s.
Love this song.
always goosebumps.
April 22.
march 15-17
The day my dad died, Earth Day, and my ex's birthday.
April 6
This song reminds me of last summer when my buddy and I got stoned and listened to this album in it's entirety. I love Neutral Milk Hotel so goddamn much
Carter Richard hell yeah
I want a whole song made from that outro.
it's from an ice cream truck. the original is 'red wing'
Wow. Thanks alot but I can't seem to find it could you point me to where I can find the song itself?
/watch?v=R4HOTCZX5Ls
@Douger wow thanks
I keep waiting for "GLOW..."
he is saying "Blow", as in Loads.
+Dan Weisner it's glow
@Andy Gump lmao stfu 😂😂😂😂😂😂
right into you, i will glow~
Yes this is a gem !
This is my favorite Neutral song.
I've been a fan of NMH for about a year and a half. But the only album I listened to was aeroplane until last night when I listened to avery island in its entirety. Now I don't know which album I like more. .
+Laura Thompson was it April 1st or 8th?
yea your worse
*you're
you conformist you.
american SYD Barrett - mental-ness :D
Syd Barretts The Madcap Laughs that is all anyone needs to hear. I agree with your statement though, that's what I thought when I heard Syd's solo album for the first time. After hearing Syd's solo album and going back and listening to Jeff's vocals and recording style, I prefer Syd over Jeff now.
Avery > Aeroplane
Haha scrumptious vinyl that's a good youtube name
Are you insane
Personally I find that aero plane has more memorable art moments also I have thing for horns
Avery = Aeroplane
that outtro just kills me.
+GLaDOSPulse damn thats a interesting image
+GLaDOSPulse I have no idea why, but when I first heard that, it actually moved me to tears
A baby for pree anyone?
MrTooboredtocare no thanks im driving
+Hot Snaxx Ha!
its like... its almost like its some sort of concept album or something :o
Jeff has this awesome way of describing disgusting things and making them sound beautiful. The scent of your sweat smells good to me. Fucking genius.
@conor mcateer powerful pistons
GANGREEEEEEEEEEEEIYYNNNNNE...
Smelling of semen all over the garden...
conor mcateer that verse is my favorite
I want to fill your lungs with smallpox, I want to paste your skin all round the mailbox...
ITAOTS was extremely cryptic and had very unlinear theming that was cut and pasted and made to be silly while still holding a meaning, Jeff's older stuff was a lot of songs about love and very simplistic themes, each albums have totally different things going for them and honestly any NMH fan will see that despite ITAOTS being the more well recieved album.
sorry what? hard to understand you when you have jeffys dick so far down ur throat
I truly couldnt have said it better myself. Robert Schneider's use of fuzz on the drumming of Jeremy Barnes is brilliant. I think the drumming on ITAOTS is truly underrated. But this one seems a lot more youthful. Less deep emotions, but very affectionate. I think that it has to do with how Jeff recorded this all by himself.
ITAOTS stuck to a very basic acoustic guitar chord progression theme, so when the horn section would come in or with tracks such as king of the carrot flowers pt. 3 and holland 1945 the instrumentation was just so powerful, this album is very similar to pavement, it's a great album but ITAOTS was genius as far as production goes, although a lot of the tracks in this album are some of my favorites from NMH,
It's ZX Spectrum vs ice-cream van. Chilling.
This song is one of my top 3 favorite NMH songs..
that little tune at the end is nightmare fuel
Whenever i see the album cover i think of the outro
understatement of the century
its...so...beautiful...
I personally think this is too different from ITAOTS to say one is "better". I love them both equally.
This is the greatest comment ever made. No need to try to disprove me. it's true.
Ultimate Guitar
Sounds like Hunter S. Thompson
This, Song Against Sex, Holland 1945 and Penny Arcade in California are totes my favorites.
But you wouldn't have heard of it...
Should be a hit now!
pleb needs a taste of music
Does anyone else see how this song is about suicide?
fuck, that outro is amazing
0 dislikes...that's all
@Mynamesbob8 I'm afraid not, my friend. NMH is good, but not THAT good.
You mean Modest Mouse opening for Neutral Milk man.
NMH Opening for Modest Mouse would have been the best show to be played ever.
My two favorite bands! I always thought I was crazy for feeling like the two bands are similar but maybe I was right.
My friend played Aeroplane for me and from that moment I was HOOKED. I turned another friend onto this band and when she played this song in her coffeshop and people would ask her who it was. My former boss did the same thing. These guys pull you in and like the best bands you have to share it with you friends too
I know your comment is 5 years old but I totally agree
love Aeroplane but I have to say I prefer this album
He says he usually write really long songs and then splits them into shorter songs, so I'd imagine it is.
We care. That's why we're arguing about it.
not sure. i think the answer's no
that's true but this is different music altogether. it's sloppy and lo-fi and the hook isn't as immediately striking as a song like where it's at. maybe something like "in the aeroplane over the sea" would work but jeff mangum has a divisive voice and even that's kind of a stretch. they'd need to clean up a whole lot to get huge success.
Well, there's tons of reasons a band might never breakthrough, but he was saying this stuff COULD have, and I agree with him. Bands like the Ramones and Big Star also could have broke through, but didn't for reasons separate to the music. The Butthole Surfers, Beck, and Radiohead all made the charts post-Nirvana, for Christ's sake.
I've got to agree. I was a huge fan (and still am!) at the time of this release, but it never had a prayer of major commercial potential. It just doesn't have the kinds of hooks they were pushing on alternative radio at the time.
but it came out in the mid-90's and didn't do that. you see in the description "From ON AVERY ISLAND © 1996" right? i just saw jeff mangum and neutral milk hotel are one my favorite bands but it never happened.
Come on. This song could have conceivably hit the charts in the mid 90s. It would have been a little weird, but let's not pretend it's black metal or mathcore.
it came out in the 90s? and it didnt chart??
lol no it couldn't have. i love neutral milk hotel but this music's never gonna touch mainstream charts
Where can I find out the chords for this beautiful song?
On Avery Island is a very special album. I don't understand why Aeroplane gets all the credit.
nonsensical comment
The imagery that they create is unbelievable
my favorite
very good sir.
Everyone barks
blastoid.
to tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me.
