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