lyrics

two headed boy
all floating in glass
the sun it has passed
now it's blacker than black
i can hear as you tap on your jar
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 the 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
and when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside
now your eyes ain't moving now
they just lay there in their 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 she sweetly displays
silver speakers that sparkle all day
made for her lover who's floating and choking with his 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
and when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside
now your eyes ain't moving now
they just lay there in their cloud

two headed boy
there is 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 where you let go
