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
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
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
