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