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
