blue. Dream child in my head is a nightmare born in a borrowed bed
Now I know, lightning strikes again. It struck me once,

lyrics)
Well, the egg man fell down off his shelf
All the good king's 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
I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now
When the boy was a boy, and a girl was a girl
and they found each other 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.
Risk the game by taking dares with "yes"
Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now.
eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now
Fm7omit3

I can't breathe
