"Two-Headed Boy" lyrics - NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL

Two-headed boy, all floating in glass
The sun it has passed, now it's blacker than black
I can hear as you tap on your jar
And I am listening to hear where you are
I am listening to hear where you are

Two-headed boy put on Sunday shoes
And dance round the room to accordion keys
With the needle that sings in your heart
Catching signals that sound in the dark
Catching signals that sound in the dark

We will take off our clothes and they'll be placing
Fingers through the notches in your spine and when all is breaking
Everything that you could keep beside
Now your eyes ain't moving, now they just lay there in their climb

Two-headed boy with pulleys and weights
Creating a radio played just for two
In the parlor with a moon across her face
And through the music he sweetly displays
Silver speakers that sparkle all day
Made for his lover who's floating and choking with her hands across her face

And in the dark we will take off our clothes and they'll be placing
Fingers through the notches in your spine and when all is breaking
Everything that you could keep beside
Now your eyes ain't moving, now they just lay there in their climb

Two-headed boy, there is no reason to grieve
The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves
Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow
And I will take you and leave you alone
Watching spirals of white softly flow
Over your eyelids and all you did
Will wait until the point when you let go
