When We Were Trees

You fell too fast

Like a cannon ball

But the fishnet stocking hands caught me again

And your head explodes like nothing’s wrong

My God, we laid there silent, for an hour

And the birds they watched like a funeral

And they sang us all their pretty funeral songs

Yahweh, Yahweh Halleluia

What a mess that you have made again this time

Tempt us, Tempt us hallelujiah

And the birds they cry and watch us as we squall

And as we fall

And we must have laid alone for hours

I could feel your cold blood creeping up my arm

And I asked you if you were all right

But the bubbles from your mouth gave out alarm

And our mothers ran towards your ghost

While our fathers tried to fix your eggshell head?

And they’re singing humpty dumpty Halleluia

The king himself could not fix you again

Now I sing because I miss you

And I meant to tell you that but I was scared

I was scared
