They met when he was in a hospital
he whispered "I ain't got no heart" into the room
She said "I'll make you smile again" and made an airplane
out of some pretty words put in a spoon
he said "I'll never see again...
My eyes are sorta twisted inwards, deep into my throat"
She said "don't worry babe, I'll open up your jam,
I'll open up my pretty self" and laid down on his road
She said "how do you know? Maybe you are".
She peeled his skin away, so every day he'd cry
And in those tears he'd lie to find some peace
She broke from all his words, but she was made of mercury,
She'd come together later piece by piece
And it became a game they played, under the blankets
In the bed, pretending she was small and he was big
She became so small, he could lift her, body and heart and all.
He held her up naked, she was just his fig.
She said "how do you know? Maybe you are"
Eles se conheceram quando ele estava no hospital
Ele sussurrou "nao tenho coração" na sala
Ela disse "te faço sorrir de novo" e fez um avião
De algumas palavras postas numa colher
Ele disse "não verei de novo...
Meus olhos estão virados do avesso, na minha garganta"
Ela disse "não se preocupe, querido, abrirei seu aperto,
Me abrirei com você" e se deitou no caminho dele
Ela disse "como você sabe? Talvez seja você."
Ela descascou a pele dele, para que todos os dias ele chorasse
E nessas lágrimas, ele mentiria para encontrar alguma paz
Ela rompeu com todas as palavras dele, mas era feita de mercúrio
Ela voltaria mais tarde, peça por peça
E se tornou num jogo que ambos jogavam, debaixo dos cobertores
Na cama, fingindo que ela era pequena e ele grande
Ela se tornou tão pequena, que ele conseguia levanta-la, corpo e coração e tudo
Ele segurou nela nua, ela era sua figura
Ela disse "como você sabe? Talvez seja você."
