lyrics

If you tie you heart to two things
one is on the ground, and the other one has wings
you might pull too hard upon those tiny, tight heart strings
and you might pull that tiny, tied up heart apart

If you try to run real fast two different ways
two different ways, two different ways
If you try to run real fast two different ways
you'll be standing in the same damn place for days

If you start howling at two moons
two moons, two moons
If you start howling at two moons
you'll be waking up in the middle of the night at the break of noon

if you start talking out of both ends
both ends, both ends
if you start talking out of both ends
you'll say twice as many things, to half as many friends

if you start praying to two gods
two gods, two gods
if you start praying to two gods
your chance of a stupid answer is twice the odds

If you tie you heart to two things
one is on the ground, and the other one has wings
you might pull too hard upon those tiny, tight heart strings
and you might pull that tiny, tied up heart apart

if you think it would be fun to have two wives
two wives, two wives
if you think it would be fun to have two wives
well, it's not

if you want to get buried in two different graves
two different graves, two different graves
if you want to get buried in two different graves
i can do it for you, but we're gonna have to cut you in half

If you tie you heart to two things
one is on the ground, and the other one has wings
you might pull too hard upon those tiny, tight heart strings
and you might pull that tiny, tied up heart apart
