Two-Headed Boy, Part 2 - Neutral Milk Hotel
This song is in E-flat and is played with barred chords.
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 chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet
Blister please, with those wings in your spine.
Love to be with a brother of mine.
How he d love to find your tongue in his teeth,
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep,
Wrapped in boxes so tight, sounding only at night as you sleep.
And in my dreams you re alive and you re crying
as your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet
rings of flowers round your eyes and I ll love you
for the rest of your life... when you re ready
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 face on your cheek.
And when we break we ll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
And when we break we ll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life
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
