When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers

And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees

And holy rattle snakes that fell all around your feet.



And your mom would stick a fork right into daddys shoulder

And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor

As we would lay and learn what each others 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 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.
