Lyrics
Eat For Two
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, baby blankets and baby shoes, baby slippers, baby spoons,walls of
baby blue
Dream child in my head is a nightmare born in a borrowed bed
Now I know lightning strikes again
It struck me once, thenstruck me dead.
My folly grows inside of me
I eat for two, walk for two,breathe for two now
Well, the egg man fell down off his shelf. All the good kings men
with all their help struggled 'til the end for a shell they couldn't
mend.
You know where this will lead, to hush and rock in the nursery for the
kicking one inside of me.
I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now
Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now
When the boy was a boy, the girl was a girl, they found eachother in
a wicked world. Strong in some respects, but she couldn't stand for
the way he begged and gave in. Pride is for men;
young girls should run and hide instead.
You risk the game by taking dares with "yes"
I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now
Eat for two,walk for two, breathe for two now
I walk for two? I'm stumbling. I walk for two? I'm stumbling
Breathe for two? I can't breathe
I can't breathe
