lyrics

Twins like us were bound to get along
Cold from the old days living life alone
But if it could be that I was you and you were me
I'd help you to see: you've got to be yourself

Look after the boy
I remember him well
I left you at the station
With a small electric toy held in his hand
Shy from me, he hid behind your skirt where it began
Like a man, trying everything

So breathe me in
Inside of these words
You must admit when we gelled was something worth
Deep and truthful, would compel you to stay
And find yourself through all of me this way
Now I see the scale of all the years you've had to live alone,
like a stone
Cold and hard and scattered on the beach, out of reach:
The tide just pushed and pulled you

Something's changed
Changed my way of being
Changed my way of life

You know I could be whatever you charged me up with
For it can be revealed now: I put my hand inside the Bell-Jar
I'm checking out you, you're checking out me
Steel and crystal so shiny and strong
All along
Twins like us were born to be OK
Anyway,
I guess you've somewhat autographed the boy
Guess we've made him our push-me-pull-you toy
When the love can't take reveals you as a fake
For these lost years will show that this union was the right way

Darling girl, I'll tell you
I'm gonna love you till I'm ashes
I put my hand inside the Bell-Jar

I'm checking out you, you're checking out me
Now hear: now this: now kill: now kiss
Now fade away
Anyway
