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