10,000 Maniacs - Eat For Two

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. 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

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.
