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 she lay down on his road

She said "How do you know? Maybe you are"
Said "How do you know? Maybe you are"
Said "How do you know-oh? Maybe you are-are-are-are-are"
"Maybe you are-are-are-are-are"
"Maybe you are"
"Maybe you are"
"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'd break 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
Just his fig

Said "How do you know? Maybe you are"
Said "How do you know-oh? Maybe you are"
Said "How do you know-oh? Maybe you are-are-are-are-are"
"Maybe you are-are-are-are-are"
"Maybe you are"
"Maybe you are"
"Maybe you are"
"Maybe you are"
"Maybe you are"
"Maybe you are"
