Eat For Two
10,000 Maniacs


Oh
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
Walk for two
Breathe 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. 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. You risk the game by taking dares with "yes"
I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now
Eat for two, walk
For two, breathe for two now
I walk for two? I'm stumbling. I walk for two?
I'm stumbling. Breathe for two? I can't breathe. I can't breathe
