Two-headed Boy (part 2)
Daddy, please hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
for a lover to bring
a child to your chest
That couyld lay as you sleep
And love all you have left
Like your boy used to be, long ago
Wrapped in sheets warm and wet
Blister, please, with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How you love to find your tongue in his teeth
in a struggle to find sacred songs that you keep
Wrapped in boxes so tight
Sounding only at night as you sleep
And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying,
as your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet,
Rings of flowers round your eyes and
I'll love you for the rest of your life (when you're ready)
Brother see we are one and the same,
And you left with your head filled with flames and you watched asyour brains
fell out through your teeth, push the pieces in place
Make your smile
Sweet to see
Don't you take this away
I'm still wanting my face on your cheek.
And when we break
We'll wait for our miracle,
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies.
And when we break
We'll wait for our miracle,
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life.
Two-headed boy
She is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes
and radio wire
And retire to sheets safe and clean
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave
Push the pieces in place
