Part One
F            Bb        F        C                Bb
When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
F           Bb      F      C                    Bb
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
C                          Bb
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet


F Bb F C Bb

F                   Bb      F         C              Bb
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
F                    Bb       F      C                Bb
And your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
C                        Bb
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for


F Bb F C Bb

F             Bb   F             C                 Bb
And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
F        Bb      F         C              Bb
And from above you how I sank into your soul
C                         Bb
Into that secret place where no one dares to go


F Bb F C Bb

F                 Bb        F          C                 Bb
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
F            Bb     F       C                Bb
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
C                        Bb
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you 
       C
Yes I do
F
I love you Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ I love you
      C
Yes I do

And on the lazy days 

The dogs dissolve and drain away

The world it goes 

And all awaits
                F
The day we are awaiting

Part Three
F
All I know

We go through the weight and undertow
                                    C
I will float until I learn how to swim ,
                               F
Inside my mother in a garbage bin,
                       C
until I find myself again,
Bb
Again, oh.

All I know
We go mouths open wide and spit in stuff
I will spit until I learn how to speak
Up through the doorway as the sideboards creak
With them ever proclaiming me, me, oh

All I know
We go the way the steps fell down and I don’t know,
I will shout until they know what I mean,
I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing
And a synthetic flying machine, machine, oh.
