when you were young you were the king of carrot flowers and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees and holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet and this is the room one afternoon i knew i could love you and from above you how i sank into your soul into that secret place where no one dares to go and your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder and dad would throw the garbage all across the floor as we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking and dad would dream of all the different ways to die each one a little more than he could dare to try

what a beautiful face i have found in this place circling all 'round the sun what a beautiful dream could flash on the screen blink of an eye, and be gone from me soft and sweet let me hold it close and keep it here with me oh one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea but for now we are young let's lay in the sun count every beautiful thing you can see love to be in the arms of all i'm keepin' here with me mmm what a curious life we've found here tonight music does sound from the street there are lights in the clouds anna's ghost all around hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me soft and sweet how the notes all bend and reach above the trees now how i remember you how i would push my fingers through your mouth to make those muscles move made your voice so smooth and sweet now we keep where we don't know all secrets sleep in winter clothes the one you loved so long ago now he don't even know his name what a beautiful face i've found in this place circling all 'round the sun when we meet on a cloud i'll be laughing out loud laughing with everyone i see can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

two-headed boy all floating in glass the sun it is passed now it's blacker than black i can hear as you tap on your jar and i am listening to hear where you are i am listening to hear where you are two-headed boy put on sunday shoes and dance 'round the room to accordion keys with a needle that sings in your heart catching signals that sound in the dark catching signals that sound in the dark we will take off our clothes and they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine then when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside now your eyes ain't movin' now they just lay there in their cloud cloud two-headed boy with pulleys and weights creating a radio played just for two in the parlor with a moon across her face and through the music he sweetly displays silver speakers that sparkle all day made for his lover who's floating and choking with her hands across her face and in the dark we will take off our clothes and they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine then when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside now your eyes ain't movin' now they just lay there in their cloud cloud two-headed boy there's no reason to grieve the world that you need is wrapped in gold, silver sleeves left beneath christmas trees in the snow and i will take you and leave you alone watching spirals of white softly flow over your eyelids and all you did will wait until the point when you let go dee dee deedee dee dee dee dee dee deedee dee dee deedee dee dee dee dee dee deedee deedee dee dee dee

one, two one, two three four the only girl i've ever loved was born with roses in her eyes but then they buried her alive one evening 1945 just her sister at her side only weeks before the guns all came and rained on everyone now she's a little boy in spain playing pianos filled with flames on empty rings around the sun all sing to say "my dream has come" but now we must pack up every piece of this life we used to love just to keep ourselves at least enough to carry on and now we ride the circus wheel with your dark brother wrapped in white says "it was good to be alive" but now he rides a comet's flame and won't be coming back again the earth looks better from a star that's right above from where you are he didn't mean to make you cry with sparks that ring and bullets fly on empty rings around your heart the world just screams and falls apart but now we must pack up every piece of this life we used to love just to keep ourselves at least enough to carry on and here where's your mother sleeps and here is the room where your brothers were born indentions in the sheet where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore and it's so sad to see the world agree that they'd rather see their faces filled with flies all when i'd want to keep white roses in their eyes eyes

sweet communist the communist daughter standing on the seaweed water semen stains the mountaintop semen stains the mountaintop with coca leaves along the border sweetness sings from every corner cars careening from the clouds the bridges burst and twist around wanting something warm and moving bend towards herself the soothing proves that she must still exist she moves herself about her fist sweet communist the communist daughter standing on the seaweed water semen stains the mountaintop semen stains the mountaintop
