She says I'm boring her camera
It takes more to delight the cadaver
Night eyes on icy patrols
Your's were not so Nazi feline
Mine were as dead as monks and
Our particles are in motion
Night eyes producing ashes
We love to view unfortunate passions
Still she takes my photo to bed
No mere limp verse could incite
Identity destruction
Our particles are in motion
Sometimes we're not legible
But we're the same strange animal
Let them say our love is peculiar, don't care
There's only now, no ever after
We won't let it end in disaster
You are my twin, no, I will never go there

second: everyone pretty much has the meaning down as far as the song goes, but i too think it's ridiculous that anyone still really debates kevin's sexuality. if you wanna go way back to cherry peel the track "tim i wish you were born a girl" is evidence of that. mind you it pushes the boundries of sexuality (like kevin HAS and probably will continue to do), but seriously... if he were gay he wouldn't have to wish that a guy he finds attractive were a girl.
finally: the new songs. skeletal lamping is a concept album that centers around kevin's onstage persona georgie fruit. georgie is in many ways similar to david bowie's ziggy stardust and if you don't understand the connection i'm making here you really need to run to a record store or go on itunes and buy some bowie. georgie's story is all over the internet if you want to do research. also... this is what kevin had to say about the album being gay: "What I was trying to do was create this idealistic human consciousness where anything goes and there are no restrictions and no boundaries."

should shed some light on the sexuality questions...
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE INTRO TO THIS SONG, IT REMINDED ME DEFINITLEY OF MGMT'S ELECTRIC FEEL.
now i see why Kevin and Andy are collaborating...MGMT and Of Montreal sound similar in alot of Hissing Fauna's (Of Montreal) and Climbing To New Low's (MGMT's) songs. i dont think im the only one who hears the similarities in the intros of Electric Feel and this song. :) its just nice to hear.
"No one wants to dance, they're outside
Smoking cigarettes
Matthew was there, yes
He gave me the eye, saying, "It doesn't kill to try"
Then blue lights all around"
How is this referencing to homosexuality? This song is about him hitting on a girl named Eva at a dance club in Athens, Georgia. Matthew is giving him the eye saying ''it doesn't kill to try''... meaning he's telling Barnes to go ahead and try banging this girl Eva. Blue lights all around are just the blue lights outside of the dance club.. which by the way is called GO BAR
I always got the impression that Matthew is encouraging him to give hooking up with his "crush for the night" a try, to help forget Nina? But who knows!
Fantastic line.
As far as his daugher's name, he told me that he named her alabee simply because he wanted her to be named something compltely orginal.

Potential allusion to homosexuality? Who knows
