[Intro]
E A* E B A (x2)
[Verse 1]
E A* E B A
When you were young, you were the king of carrot flowers
E A* E B A
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
B In holy rattlesnakes that Afell all around yourE feet
A E B A
[Verse 2]
E A* E B A
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
E A* E B A
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
B As we would lay and learn what Aeach other's bodies wereE for
A E B A
[Verse 3]
E A* E B A
And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
E A* E B A
And from above you how I sank into your soul
B Into that secret place where Ano one dares toE go
A E B A
[Verse 4]
E A* E B A
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
E A* E B A
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
B Each one a little more than Ahe could dare to
E A* E B A
try
E A* E B A (x3)

[Intro]
E A* E B* (x2)
[Verse 1]
EUp and over we go
Ethrough the wave and undertow
EI will float until I learn how to Bswim
Inside my mother in a garbage Ebin
Until I find myself Bagain
ABgain, oh-oh-oh-oh
E A* E B* (x2)
[Verse 2]
EUp and over we go
EMouths open wide and spitting still
EI will spit until I learn how to Bspeak
Up through the doorway as the sideboardsE creak
With them never proclaiming Bme
BMe, oh
E A* E B* (x2)
[Verse 3]
EUp and over we go
The Eweight it sits on down and I don't know
EI will shout until they know what I Bmean
I mean the marriage of a dead dog Esing
And a synthetic flying macBhine
MaBchine,
E A* E B* (x2)
oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
E A* E B* (x2)
Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
