Marissa Nadler – The Story Of Daisy And Violet lyrics

daisy and violet work at the market
i hear they used to live on the road
somebody told me singing in side-shows
joined at the hips of the songs that they wrote

daisy and violet come in a vision
double the pleasure
double the fun
singing a harmony on a sister
could sing of the times and the freedom they one

daisy fell ill and was followed by violet
a neighbor would find them dead on the ground
somewhere inside the mind of a child
are harmonies only a sister could sing

elephant man
died in his own bed
the neck that he had had a heart of its own
they said that his mother was crushed by a monster
when he was inside her an elephant gnome

(distant vocals are excerpts from the elephant man's journals)
