When We Were Trees

[Verse 1] You fell too fast like a cannon ball But the fishnet stocking hands caught me again And your head explodes like nothing's wrong And 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 [Chorus 1] Yahweh, Yahweh, Hallelujah What a mess that you have made again this time Tempt us, tempest, Hallelujah And the birds they cry and watch us as we squall And as we fall [Verse 2] 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 egg-shelled head [Chorus 2] And they're singing, "Humpty Dumpty, Hallelujah 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
