Siamese Twins

Siamese twins are separated

They couldn’t stand themselves no more

They hesitated for a long time

They’ve had their doubts but now they’re sure

They are sure

Summer was the cause of so much trouble

In the fall they didn’t really talk no more

In the wintertime they thought their frozen hearts

Would certainly melt in the springtime

But of course

There wasn’t warmth enough for both

For both

Played the happy freaks

For a long time

Saw enough sanguinary public

For a long time

I’ve been throwing up stones throwing up

For a long time

Played in secondhand circus side shows

Far too long a time

And though she falls

And begs for more

I’m sure we will never be

The way we were

Before
