Introduction:

 G           B 
Two headed boy
     G            B 
All floating in glass
     G           B 
The sun it has passed
          C             G 
Now it' s blacker than black
       C                       D 
I can hear as you tap on your jar
      C                            G 
I am listening to hear where you are
      C                            G 
I am listening to hear where you are
 G           B 
Two headed boy
 G               B 
Put on sunday shoes
     G                B         C         G 
And dance round the room to accordion keys
          C                          D 
With the needle that sings in your heart
          C                          G 
Catching signals that sound in the dark
          C                          G 
Catching signals that sound in the dark
         D             C 
We will take off our clothes
                        G                    D                C 
And they' ll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
                           G                 D                C 
And when all is breaking, everything that you could keep inside
                            Am                                D 
Now your eyes ain' t moving now, they just lay there in their climb
 G           B 
Two headed boy
      G            B 
With pulleys and weights
    G       B         C               G 
Creating a radio played just for two
        C                              D 
In the parlor with a moon across her face
     C                             G 
And through the music he sweetly displays
        C                         G 
Silver speakers that sparkle all day
              C                         Am                                 D     C 
Made for his lover who' s floating and choking with her hands across her face
            G             D              C 
And in the dark we will take off our clothes
                         G                   D                C 
And they' ll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
                           G                 D                C 
And when all is breaking, everything that you could keep inside
                            Am                                 D 
Now your eyes ain' t moving now, they just lay there in their cli-i-i-i-imb
 G           B 
Two headed boy
            G          B 
There' s no reason to grieve
     G               B                   C            G 
The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves
      C                               D 
Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow
            C                       G 
And I will take you and leave you alone
          C                        G 
Watching spirals of white softly flow
           C 
Over your eyelids and all you did
                                        D 
Will wait until the point when you let go
 C                            G 
Dee dee dee dee dee dee du dee dee
 C                             G 
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee
 C                                            G 
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee
