When you were young
You were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
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
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 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
I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you
Yes I do
I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you
Yes I do
And on the lazy days
The dogs dissolve and drain away
The world it goes
And all awaits
The day we are awaiting
Up and over we go through the wave and undertow
I will float until I learn how to swim inside my mother
in a garbage bin until I find myself again again up
and over we go mouths open wide and spitting still
and I will spit until I learn how to speak up thru the
doorway as the sideboards creek with them ever
proclaiming me me ohhhhhhhhhhhh up and over we
go the weight it sits on down and I don't know I will
shout until they know what I mean I mean the
marriage of a dead dog sing and a synthetic flying
machine machine ohhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh
