Letra Two-Headed Boy Part Two

La canción es parte del álbum In the Aeroplane Over the Sea de Neutral Milk Hotel, siendo uno de los temas más conocidos del álbum. Aunque las letras de Jeff Mangum a menudo parecen abstractas, muchas interpretaciones sugieren que tratan temas de nostalgia, amor, y reflexión personal, así como referencias al libro El Diario de Ana Frank.

 Daddy please hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
For a lover to bring a child to your chest
That could lay as you sleep and love all you have left
Like your boy used to be, long ago wrapped in sheets
Warm and wet

Blister please with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep
Wrapped in boxes so tight sounding only at night
As you sleep

In my dreams you're alive and you're crying
As your mouth moves in mine soft and sweet
Rings of flowers around your eyes and I'll love you
For the rest of your life...

Brother see we are one in the same
And you left with your head filled with flames
And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth
Push the pieces in place, make your smile sweet to see
Don't you take this away, I'm still wanting my face
On your cheek

And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle
lies. When we break we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your
life.

Two headed boy
She is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes
And radio wires
And retire to sheets
Safe and clean
But don't hate her
When she gets up to leave
