King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1

Lyrics

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
 And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
 In holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet
 ♪
 And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
 And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
 As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
 ♪
 And this is the room, one afternoon I knew I could love you
 And from above you, how I sank into your soul
 Into that secret place where no one dares to go
 ♪
 And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
 And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
 Each one a little more than he could dare to try
 
 When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
 And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
 In holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet
 ♪
 And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
 And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
 As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
 ♪
 And this is the room, one afternoon I knew I could love you
 And from above you, how I sank into your soul
 Into that secret place where no one dares to go
 ♪
 And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
 And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
 Each one a little more than he could dare to try
 
 When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
 And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
 In holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet
 ♪
 And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
 And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
 As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
 ♪
 And this is the room, one afternoon I knew I could love you
 And from above you, how I sank into your soul
 Into that secret place where no one dares to go

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