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 would 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

And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet
Rings of flowers 'round your eyes and I'll love you
For the rest of your life when you're ready

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

[In the trees I hear whispers of time
Through the breeze, love with vigor, sublime
And the maidens of grace ascend upward in threes
Where the aeroplanes fly, angels, man and machine
Wrapped in robes, gold and white
Casting only a glow as you sleep

And in my arms you're afraid and you're crying
For the six thousandth time in a week
But I know you’re okay and not dying
We remember our lives, warm and meek

And when we wake, we'll wait for some miracle
God is a place where nobody lives, full- or part-time
When we die we'll lay in the bleeding fields
God is to blame for this cold and unending decline]
