Artist/Band: 10,000 Maniacs
Lyrics for Song: Eat For Two [Live/Unplugged]
Lyrics for Album: MTV Unplugged [1993]



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

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


Eat For Two [Live/Unplugged]

This live rendition of 'Eat For Two' by 10,000 Maniacs appears on their 1993 MTV Unplugged album, marking a significant acoustic shift in the band's sound. Originally released as a studio track on the 2005 Trilogy compilation, the song was reimagined here with stripped-back instrumentation that highlighted the group's vocal harmonies and emotional depth. The recording captures the intimate atmosphere characteristic of the MTV Unplugged series, offering a raw and vulnerable take on a track that became a staple of the band's repertoire. By removing electric guitars and drums, the performance emphasizes the organic textures of the ensemble, showcasing their ability to adapt their signature pop-rock style into a more folk-influenced arrangement. This version remains a notable example of the group's versatility and their successful collaboration with the MTV Unplugged project during the early 1990s.
