at your house the smell of our still living human bodies and oven gas
you pray to nothing out loud

From the album Alopecia.
at your house the smell of our still living human bodies and oven gas you pray to nothing out loud two first names and an ampersand embroidered proudly on a kitchen towel you're a beautiful and violent work with a skinny neck of a chinese bird in a fading ancient painting and if you're in heaven waiting you made it there fighting the tightest kite string in a bad storm with lightning
and now these few presidents frowning in my pocket can persuade no god to let me let you talk, oh these few presidents frowning in my pocket can persuade no god to let me let you off
even though i haven't seen you in years yours is a funeral i'd fly to from anywhere
i thought i had a peble in my sock i pulled it off and shook out a wasp it stumbled out lost, and without a pause i'm stung as i was, still i stomped it i thought, there is no paved street worth of your perfect scandanavian feet my crooked chinese fingers groped the machinery of your throat
and now these few presidents frowning in my pocket can persuade no god to let me let you talk, oh these few presidents drowning in my pocket can persuade no god to let me let you off
even though i haven't seen you in years yours is a funeral i'd fly to from anywhere

And as for the meaning, well, I only have 500 characters so I'll try to make it quick. 1st 1/2, 1st verse: Ne notices how domestic they've become without being married (YOUR house) while eating dinner (pray to nothing = grace). 2nd 1/2, I'm not sure yet. Chorus: He was dependant financially on her, and is now poor (these FEW presidents) but even that won't have him go back to her. 2nd part of chorus: He'd be happy to see her dead.
I'm pretty sure "i'm stung as i was, still i stomped it" is supposed to be "UNSTUNG as I was...". At least I think that makes more sense, though I'm not sure exactly which is correct since different sites seem to say different things.
here's how i see it: she killed herself, and he was there, hence "the smell of our still living human bodies and oven gas" i think that they were both going to kill themselves("and i'f you're in heaven waiting"), she died first and then he decided he wanted to live, but she was already dead. he feels guilty and he wishes he could pay to get her back. that's my read on it, it's perfectly open for interpretation though. the only one who really knows what it means is the one who wrote it.
the president part makes me think he killed for money but there is a strong guess its about suicide. reply if u no plz this is my first time listening and wow its great
