    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 could 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 he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth
                                         
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep
                                       
Wrapped in boxes so tight sounding only at night
           
As you sleep



                                       
    In my dreams you're alive and you're crying
                                   
As your mouth moves in mine soft and sweet
                                            
Rings of flowers around your eyes and I'll love you
                   
For the rest of your life...
        
   
    



                               
    Brother see we are one in the same
                                         
    And you left with your head filled with flames
                                                  
And you watched as your 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. 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 wires
    
And retire to sheets
         
Safe and clean
          
But don't hate her
                    
When she gets up to leave
