Two headed boy
     G                B  
All floating in glass

The sun it has passed

Now it' s blacker than black

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

We will take off our clothes

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

With pulleys and weights

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

There' s no reason to grieve

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
