I think iʼll go home and mull this over
D# A# G#
Before i cram it down my throat
Cm A# G# Fm
At long last itʼs crashed, itʼs colossal mass
D# A# G# Fm
Has broken up into bits in my moat.
D# Fm D# Fm
Lift the mattress off the floor
D#
Walk the cramps off
A# G# Fm
Go meander in the cold
D# Fm
Hail to your dark skin
D# Fm
Hiding the fact youʼre dead again
D# A# G#
Undeneath the power lines seeking shade
G#
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
Cm A# G# Fm
Itʼs a luscious mix of words and tricks
D# A# G#
That let us bet when you know we should fold
Cm A# G# Fm
On rocks i dreamt of where weʼd stepped
D# A# G# Fm
And the whole mess of roads weʼre now on.
D# Fm D# Fm
Hold your glass up, hold it in
D# A# G# Fm
Never betray the way youʼve always known it is.
D# Fm
One day iʼll be wondering how
D# Fm
I got so old just wondering how
D# A# G#
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.
G#
This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending
Cm A# G# Gm Fm Gm G#
All these squawking birds wonʼt quit.
Cm A# G# Gm Fm Gm G#
Building nothing, laying bricks.
