Two-headed Boy

Neutral Milk Hotel

Two headed boy

All floating in glass

The sun it has passed

Now it's blacker than black

I can hear as you tap on your jar

I am listening to hear where you are

I am listening to hear where you are



Two headed boy

Put on sunday shoes

And dance round the room to accordion keys

With the needle that sings in your heart

Catching signals that sound in the dark

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



Two headed boy

With pulleys and weights

Creating a radio played just for two

In the parlor witha moon across her face

And through the music he sweetly displays

Silver speakers that sparkle all day

Made for his lover who's floating and choking with her hands across her face

And in the dark we will take off our clothes

And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine



Two headed boy

There is no reason to grieve

The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves

Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow

And I will take you and leave you alone

Watching spirals of white softly flow

Over your eyelids and all you did

Will wait until the point when you let go
