NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL
"Two-Headed Boy, Pt. Two"
(Jeff Mangum / Scott Spillane)

Daddy please hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams for a lover to bring
A child to your arms that could lay as you sleep
And love all that you are like your boy used to be
Before he went and tore at your heart

Sister please with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How he'd love to hide
Your tongue in his teeth in a struggle to find
Secret songs that you keep buried deep in your eyes
Sounding only at night as you sleep

In my dreams you're alive and you're crying
Move your mouth into mine, soft and sweet
Rings of flowers around your eyes and I'll love you
1940 and 5 is (something)

Brother see we are one in the same
And you left with your head filled with flames
And you watched as your brains
Fell out through your teeth, push the pieces in place
Make your smile sweet to see, don't you take this away
I'm still wanting my tongue on your cheek

And when we break we wait for a miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
And when we break we wait for a miracle
God is a place we will wait for the rest of our lives

Two headed boy
She is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
And retire to sheets, safe and clean
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave
