The branches were tangled
and they fought like little scraps
selling the paper
and throwing their handicaps
the devil crept up
and he made me supper
and i told her i loved her
like i never loved her
ooooooooh x2
and i felt like losing it
and she felt like twisting
the air which did have it
oh i hadn't been listening
so i lost my cool again
under a boulder
so i wipe my brow
with the sweat from her shoulder
oooooooh x2
and she tasted sweeter
than whiskey and loneliness
and my bones did circles
around everyone's holiness
the dogs have been purring
and the cats have been digging holes
and nobody wonders
where they used to go
well i'm feeling stupid
and scared that i love you
and the birds in my stomach
are flying above you
and the parents are laughing
and teaching their kids to fly
out of my stomach
and into your eyes
out of my stomach
and into your eyes
ooooooooh
ooooooooh
ooooooooh
ooooooooh
and they fought like little scraps
selling the paper
and throwing their handicaps
and he made me supper
and i told her i loved her
like i never loved her
and she felt like twisting
the air which did have it
oh i hadn't been listening
under a boulder
so i wipe my brow
with the sweat from her shoulder
than whiskey and loneliness
and my bones did circles
around everyone's holiness
the dogs have been purring
and the cats have been digging holes
and nobody wonders
where they used to go
and scared that i love you
and the birds in my stomach
are flying above you
and the parents are laughing
and teaching their kids to fly
out of my stomach
and into your eyes
out of my stomach
and into your eyes
ooooooooh
ooooooooh
ooooooooh
