Death Cab For Cutie

the king of carrot flowers. pt. one

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 around 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 differ?nt ways to die
Each one a little mor? than he could dare to try
