lyrics

scrape that sugar off that cake, big brother
you know i love the way the the sweetness tastes, big brother
we traded reason for taste
and now i’ve gone away
i’m up above, you’re down below
the older ones, they could not now know

do you remember the park?
do you remember the birds?
i asked you how they flew
and of course you knew
"they have hollow bones,"
like a boy alone, like a boy like me

if i were you i’d kiss her too, big brother
if you were me you'd miss you too, big brother
i don’t recognize this place
it must be outer space
i’m up above, you’re down below
the older ones, they could not now know

her perfect skin
like porcelain
her sandy hair
like a princess fair
don't think of me
i'd only kill the mood
like the cake killed me
like the seagulls flew

i miss you
i miss you so much
it can’t be heaven if i still miss you
