Neutral Milk Hotel - Ghost Lyrics
Ghost, ghost, I know you were within me, feel you as you fly
In thunder clouds above the city, into one that I loved
With all that was left within me 'till we tore in two
Now wings and rings and there's so many waiting here for you
With wings that ringed around a socket right between her spine
All drenched in milk in holy water pouring from the sky
I know that she will live forever, she won't ever die
She goes
And now she knows she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escape
And one day in New York City, baby, a girl fell from the sky
And when her spirit left her body, how it split the sun
I know that she will live forever, all goes on and on
And she goes
And now she knows she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escape

Neutral Milk Hotel Ghost Comments
best neutral milk hotel song
The musical saw that joins the crescendo at the end IS the Ghost! It's whistling!
sometimes this song convinces me that i might be real
TheTurtleneck64 you won’t really feel real until you see it live. I’ve been lucky enough to have that experience, but good luck to you my friend.
@Shabby Wolf I dont need to feel real, it's just fun to pretend sometimes
i like it when he goes "teeeeeeeeededededede teeeeeeeeeeedededededede"
If I’m over going to kill myself this is the song I’m going to do it to
snare drum head
Every time i hear this song, my heart bursts open and i feel a combination of pure happiness, excitement, despair, love, and a whole bunch of other things I cannot even put into words
It’s kind of weird to say but that ending with the singing saw in the background makes me picture hundreds of spirits of ghosts rising up toward the sky to heaven
my music taste has degraded to mucore
help
You degraded yourself for believing that's an actual category.
2:40 is nut worthy
Best song in the album
the part when the singing saw comes in is fucking heavenly
MY DREAM GIRL DON"T EXIST
this is the most pure, unpretentious band that has ever fucking existed.
every single effort is 10,000% earnest. it's unbelievable.
this song is beautiful enough that it made my favorite girlfriend ever cry the first time she heard it and years later it is still a favorite because of that
this has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to
My shit
August and Everything After, In the Aeroplane over the Sea, Blue Album, Californication, Sublime, etc.
Ghost, ghost I know you live within me
I feel you as you fly
In thunder clouds above the city
Into one that I love
With all that was left within me
Until we tore in two
Now wings and rings and there's so many
Waiting here for you
And she was born in a bottle rocket, 1929
With wings that ringed around a socket
Right between her spine
All drenched in milk and holy water
Pouring from the sky
I know that she will live forever
She won't ever die
And she goes
And now she knows she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escape
Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee
And one day in New York City, baby
A girl fell from the sky
From the top of a burning apartment building
Fourteen stories high
And when her spirit left her body
How it split the sun
I know that she will live forever
All goes on and on and on
And she goes
And now she knows she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escape
Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee, dee
This is perfect road trip music
This is Drinking Whiskey & Weeping With A Smile On Your Face music. At least, it is tonight, for me.
greetings grom brasil! ! ! !
I swear to God, when that trumpet and singing saw comes in....it’s one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard!
and otamatone! one of the less talked about but still very crucial instruments of ITAOTS.
And when her spirit left her body, how it split the sun
AND KNOW SHE KNOWS SHE’ll NEVER BE AFRAIDDDDDD
Dee Dee Dee Ree Dee Dee🎶
I guess you just have to be a hipster to like this garbage
VintageLazer no, hipsters are usually delusional arrogant dipshits with shit taste in music. Fortunately, you don't have to be a hipster to like this (great) album.
Best song in the album. Tight choice but this has to be my favourite.
One of the reasons I love Neutral Milk Hotel so much is their mix of real instruments and utter pandemonium. It's beautiful. Like you can clearly hear Jeff strumming his guitar in the beginning, and the drums are very pronounced throughout it all, but this sense of urgency and almost sadness just builds throughout the song. Fucking genius.
And now she knows she’ll never be afraaaaid :)
dadadadada
you better be able to hit the notes jeff does
i want to start a play and sing along to all of ITAOTS group event in every local city
I don't think Neutral Uke Hotel is reuniting, sorry...
If only Jeff & Bruce could do this together.
Whenever Anthony Fantano is making love to his wife this song is probably playing in surround sound in the back of his enormous head.
i did nuts on that verse once, some time ago. made me laugh (obviously the album was just starting after another one me and my gf were playing in the background and was to busy to get up change it)
CAQ Vevo r/actuallyhappened
@Trashman *hand
@Andrew Levy you'd be surprised my friend fucked to pink season once
Cal watches and provides color commentary.
Oh my god. I never had a song giving me tears running down my face so fast as this song did. Just beautiful.
into these guys now heard bout them from parks
Deedededeedeede
Deedededeedeede
Deedededeedeede
Deedededeedeedeeeeeeeeeeeee
The most beautiful song! I only just got it shown to me after 68 years of living!
@Swiatek702 I seriously thought it was a joke but okay
@Ploopybear It wasn't a joke, it was just shit-posting by an illiterate moron.
I hope she's only 69 cuz i know what I wanna do to her
@Swiatek702 no this is shitposting ^
@Ploopybear I can't disagree with that. Cheers!
This album is the love of my life i swear.
also am i the only one who thinks of The Misadventures of Flapjack when they see the cover??? no? just me??? cool.
I see the flapjack thing
How? I'm not familiar with the show.
I can't unsee now.
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT
Zad Ras you wouldnt see it if you didnt watch the show
the third most beautiful, amazing song and track of 90´s!!!! the second one... WHAT YOU WANT (My Bloody Valentine) and the first one... UNFINISHED SYMPATHY (Massive Attack) !!!
God Bless Jeff Magnum and NMH.
c'est vraiment bien
omegle brought me here
its alright
@***** lol yea
Its not what i usually listen to but i do like it
Will it? It will. Will it!
Ghost, ghost, I know you were within me, feel you as you fly
In thunder clouds above the city, into one that I loved
With all that was left within me 'till we tore in two
Now wings and rings and there's so many waiting here for you
And she was born in a bottle rocket, 1929
With wings that ringed around a socket right between her spine
All drenched in milk in holy water pouring from the sky
I know that she will live forever, she won't ever die
She goes
And now she knows she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escape
And one day in New York City, baby, a girl fell from the sky
From the top of a burning apartment building fourteen stories high
And when her spirit left her body, how it split the sun
I know that she will live forever, all goes on and on
And she goes
And now she knows she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escape
You forgot teee dee dee dee dee teee dee dee dee dee :D
Amazing how much meaning and emotion jeff can put into seemingly nonsensical lyrics.
"much emotion into seemingly nonsensical lyrics" is standard in folk music stuff. That's why I love the genre.
Yeah, it's not nonsensical. It's also not just about Anne Frank. It's very generally about 1. A ghost. 2. Anne Frank. 3. The death of a girlfriend, whether romantically or not I dunno. Admittedly it has some surreal imagery in the lyrics, but it's pretty straightforward once you know what you're looking at.
Right?? This album is like a rorchache test, turns out we're not so different.
@fedrosimpson but porhaps the ghost is anne frank and the reason she will never be afraid is because shes dead now and will live forever
guys look up Magical Realism holy shit
Eloquent
Too many layers
Never enough layers
Jack Edwards lol, you must be listening to some ancient tunes
Why don't they play this shit on Radio Norwich 99.9fm (har my sick sense of humour poking through, like that would ever happen). Love this whacked out gorgeous full noise .... yum.
Janice Scott what?
I know how to play this song on the recorder haha
Madison Sauke Dude, that's actually the best fucking thing I've ever heard, haha.
Great... Now play it on a saw.
@Swiatek702 Currently learning to play this whole album on a saw, to be as true to the original as possible xD
This is an amazing contribution to the comment section thank you

ps - crank this one folks!!!
TODAY IS HALLOWEEN
I really like this.
I only just found this, they're okay, they're pretty good.
Wow, thanks a lot for sharing your opinion. It was incredibly appreciated and will be remembered
I liked his opinion :(
This song really is epic - especially the horns parts. Really looking forward to seeing them at Coachella
Everyone listening to this song: just forget that NMH is popular with hipsters. I'm not a big fan of hipsters either but please try to have the decency to listen to the song for what it is. Don't just say "fucking hipsters, this shit sucks" because then you're becoming exactly what you don't like.
I agree. This was introduced to me by hipsters that are like "i dont even listen to NMH anymore" i'm like "haha, cool, because i still do"
@BigJoe1929 fucking hip- I'm sorry dad.
+BigJoe1929 tell that to my brother.
I'm a mainstream NMH lover. I'm an appreciator
Dude, I'm listening to this in 2017. I only wish I was alive back in the 90's.
holy shit what a mess
but a damn beautiful mess
I cannot tell if the misspelling of "Mangum" was intentional or not.
That's just his name.
I'm fucking crying
it's a fucking copypasta.
copypasta
Hi! Few things to start off with =] 1. Yes I write to you because you're a female on an NMH video, 'tis an awesome thing to see! 2. I'm Brian. 3. Don't be intimidated, but I'm not a stereotypical guy. If anything, I'll be the one in the kitchen =D.
ah gender stereotypes in 2014
@Ploopybear its a copypasta
>implying
>mfw a pleb near me didnt think Ghost was the best song on the album
>i have no face
the4horseman
>Impling that communist daughter isn't the best song
>implying that semen stains the mountaintops
This Meme Made By The Song Against Sex Gang
Zad Ras best song by them imo
Sounds like a theremin to me
This is JEEEESUSSSSSSSSS CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSST
This is transcendent.
I hate how people need to relate this kind of music to hipsters. -.-
THIS IS SPARTAAAA [kicks into pit]
this SONG OH MY GOD
DE DE DE DE DE, DE DE DE DE DE
I know that feel. Oh lawd, I know that feel.
Its a singing saw
No this is phone
I want him to tour with his whole ensemble so I can hear this live!
dee de de de de dee dee de de de de dee
Every time I listen to this I get the sudden compulsion to go somewhere.
Anywhere.
A saw, beautiful
No, it's a singing saw.
Is that a theramin used for the ghost sounds?
What a strange song
graduated on high school with this song. yes.
but I've never seen monty python...
So many hipster convos going on...I'm confused as fuck! Ha
Yes. A thousand times yes.
yay new found band.
Are you kidding, that was comedy gold.
Laughed harder than I should have.
You heard the Mountain Goats?
"And when her spirit left her body: How it split these sides!"
No this is tiny cooper
but they really did try to blow up the world trade center in 1993
and that line could have referred to the "world trade" blowing up, as in increasing in large quantities.
the truth is, nobody predicted 9/11.
RIP Katie

One of my close friends committed suicide on Wednesday night. Her last status update was "She goes, and now she knows she'll never be afraid." No one saw the warning signs. Go out and tell everyone you love how much they mean to you because tomorrow is not guaranteed.
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG AN AEROPLANE FLEW OVER THE TOWERS AND HOW THE TOWERS CAME TUMBLING ALL ACROSS THE FLOOOR
