the king of carrot flowers

Tom : F
Part One
F Bb F C Bb
When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
F Bb F C Bb
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
C Bb
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
  F   Bb     F     C     Bb     F     Bb     F      C    Bb
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
F Bb F C Bb
And your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
C Bb
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
  F   Bb     F     C     Bb     F    Bb     F      C    Bb
And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
F Bb F C Bb
And from above you how I sank into your soul
C Bb
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
  F   Bb    F      C    Bb     F     Bb     F     C    Bb
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
F Bb F C Bb
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
C Bb
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

[Riff 2x]
I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you
C
Yes I do
And on the lazy days
The dogs dissolve and drain away
The world it goes
And all awaits
F
The day we are awaiting
Part Three
F
All I know
We go through the weight and undertow
C
I will float until I learn how to swim
F
Inside my mother in a garbage bin
C
Until I find myself again
Bb
Again, oh
All I know
We go mouths open wide and spit in stuff
I will spit until I learn how to speak
Up through the doorway as the sideboards creak
With them ever proclaiming me, me, oh
All I know
We go the way the steps fell down and I don't know
I will shout until they know what I mean
I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing
And a synthetic flying machine, machine, oh
