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 'round your feet
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
