They met when he was in a hospital
|
he whispered "I ain't got no heart" into the room
|
|
She said "I'll make you smile again" and made an airplane
|
out of some pretty words put in a spoon
|
|
he said "I'll never see again...
|
My eyes are sorta twisted inwards, deep into my throat"
|
|
She said "don't worry babe, I'll open up your jam,
|
I'll open up my pretty self" and laid down on his road
|
|
She said "how do you know? Maybe you are".
|
|
She peeled his skin away, so every day he'd cry
|
And in those tears he'd lie to find some peace
|
|
She broke from all his words, but she was made of mercury,
|
She'd come together later piece by piece
|
|
And it became a game they played, under the blankets
|
In the bed, pretending she was small and he was big
|
|
She became so small, he could lift her, body and heart and all.
|
He held her up naked, she was just his fig.
|
|
She said "how do you know? Maybe you are".
