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 around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all [Em]across the floor
As we would lay and [Bm]learn what each other's bodies were for
And this is the ɾoom
One afternoon [C7]I knew I could love you
And from above you [A7how I sank into [C7]your soul
Into [C7]that secret place where no one dares to [C7]go
And your mom would drink until she was [Am7]no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all [Em]the different ways to [C7]die
Each one a little more than he could dare to [C7]tɾy
