O
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
then struck 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 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.
When the boy was a boy
the girl was a girl
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.
Walk for two? I m stumbling.
Breathe for two? I can t breathe.
Five months
how it grows.
Five months now
I begin to show.
