Lyrics Of The Day

This came straight from the album pamphlet, so if it's wrong, it's MGMT's fault:

Hey I found a whistle that hangs like a charm
And when my noose is tied I could blow it
And fall down into your arms
15 centuries of dissolution and grief
To return a yellow trickster and a thief

Yeah I found a whistle that works every time
That's when the trail escapes to nowhere
And the flood erases the crime
Such conviction
To paint all the walls with the blood
Of the young and the faithful and the good

Hey I found a whistle as thin as a sheet
To split the dumbness of a vision
Between a sleep and a sleep
Tiny axes
Repeatedly raising the flag
All ignored, real emotion's such a drag

Yeah I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart
And on dark nights when the moon is right
I could show you
The head attached with a scarf
Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates
When it's gone, has it gone all the way?

I don't know quite what to make of the meaning of this song. I guess what I personally get from it, I feel that I would think of it if I found someone really special. I do have another idea in my head of when I would like to hear it, though. Nothing dirty. Quite a beautiful image actually.

And the way it is performed....that is what always gets to me. 

Of course, ever since I read other's interpretations of it on Song Meanings, now I can't get the sexual innuendo of "the head attached with a scarf" out of my head. Thanks a lot, wienie!
