{Verse riff}
Blood from a stone
Water from wine.
Born under earplay design.
A stroke of bad luck,
wrong place, wrong time.
This flyer is out of the lime.


D5                       G5         E5
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D5                       G5      E5
The story of my life in trying times.
D5               G5       E5
Just add water, stir in lime.
D5                                 A5
How the west was won and where it got us.


{Verse riff}
Canary got trapped, the uranium mine.
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died.
a marker to mark where my tears run dry.
I cross it, bless it, alkali.

D5                       G5         E5
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D5                       G5      E5
The story of my life in trying times.
D5               G5       E5
Just add water, stir in lime.
D5                                 A5
How the west was won and where it got us.


{Piano solo}


{Verse riff}
I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain.
Now I can't see anything.
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design.
I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry.
I point my nose to the northern star,
watch the decline from a hazy distance.


D5                       G5         E5
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D5                       G5      E5
The story of my life in trying times.
D5               G5       E5
Just add water, stir in lime.
D5                                 A5
How the west was won and where it got us.



WAKE-UP BOMB


{Verse:  E5 D5 A5 G}

                 E5           D5
I look good in a glass pack
                A5     G5
I look good and mean
               E5                 D5                   A5     G5
I look good in metallic sick wraparounds blackout tease
                 E5       D5          A5          G5
I scud along the horizon chew some sweet tree
                     E5            D5
I get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap
             A5     G5
I like being seen
                    E5              D5
I look good with my drink eat no sleep
                        A5    G5
Take a leap, longevity
                  E5              D5         A5     G5
I look good in my attitude, latitude, 1973
I'm in deep


C5  G5          C5       G5    C5        D5
My head's on fire and high esteem
C5        G5     C5           G5                  D5
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
E5       D5
Oh, the wake-up bomb

Get drunk and sing along to Queen

C5           G5     C5         G5        D5
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
C5        G5     C5           G5                  D5
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything

I had to knock a few buildings over
I make an ugly mess
I had to blow a gasket
Drop transmission
I had to decompress
I had to write the great American novel
I had a neutron bomb
I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
I wake up (I wake up)
I wake up (I wake up)
I threw up when I saw what I'd done


Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up

Yeah, atomic, Supersonic
What a joke, I'm dumb
See ya, don't wanna be you
Lunch meat, Pond scum

My head's on fire in high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

New Test Leper

D5       A5          G5    A5
I can't say that I love Jesus
D5          A5           G5
that would be a hollow claim.

D5      A5         G5      A5
He did make some observations
D5       A5            G5
and I'm quoting them today.
D5      A5        G5        A5
"Judge not lest ye be judged."
D5      A5         G5
what a beautiful refrain.
D5      A5         G5     A5
The studio audience disagrees.
D5        A5             G5
Have his lambs all gone astray?

D5        A5        G5       A5
"You are lost and disillusioned!"
D5        A5             G5
what an awful thing to say.
D5      A5          G5       A5
I know this show doesn't matter.

D5         A5         G5
It means nothing to me.
D5       A5         G5          A5
I thought I might help them understand
D5           A5             G5
but what an ugly thing to see.
D5     A5      G5     A5
"I am not an animal"
D5         A5         G5
subtitled under the screen.

A5 B5 C#5 D5   A5         G5

When I tried to tell my story
D5               A5          G5
They cut me off to take a break.
D5     A5      G5        A5
I sat silent 5 commercials
D5             A5       G5
I had nothing left to say
D5             A5        G5        A5
The talk show host was index-carded
D5     A5            G5
All organized and blank
D5         A5           G5           A5
The other guests were scared and hardened
D5      A5   G5
What a sad parade.

Look up, what do you see?
G5
All of you and all of me
E5
Fluorescent and starry
B5
Some of them , they surprise
C5                      G5
The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
     E5
This letter
                          C5
Fields of poppies, little pearls
G5                              E5
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
               B5
Each and every one a little scary
C5   G5         E5
    I said your name
                         C5
I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
     G5                     E5
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
B5
Dreaming of Maria Callas
C5          G5          E5
   Whoever she is
                         C5
This fame thing, I don't get it
                  G5
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
E5                  B5
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
C5
I can take you far
G5                   E5

Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink
C5              G5
Here comes the flood
E5          B5
Anything to thin the blood
          C5                     G5          E5
These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
               C5
Phone, eat it, drink
G5
Just another chink
E5                   B5
Cuts and dents, they catch the light
C5             G5            E5
Aluminum , the weakest link
                           C5
I don't want to disappoint you
        G5
I'm not here to anoint you
        E5
I would lick your feet

            B5
But is that sickest move?
              C5                     G5
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
                       E5
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?

CHORUS:

I can't look it in the eyes

Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
                C5
Cherry-flavored neck and collar

I can smell the sorrow on your breath

The sweat, the victory and sorrow
The smell of fear

  A5                       F5
  Nothing could bring me closer.
  G5                    G5 A5
  Nothing could bring me near.
  A5                    F5
  Where is the road I follow
  G5        G5 A5
  Leaving, leave


       A5            F5
  It's Under, under, under my feet
      G5                    G5 A5
  The sea spread out there before me.
G5 A5                   F5
  Better I go, and the land touches sea.
  G5                  G5  A5
  There is _________ in what I believe.

Chorus:


C5
   That's what keeps me,
A5
   That's what keeps me,
   C5                     G5
   That's what keeps me down.
      C5            A5    G5
   To leave it, to leave it,
                  F5        F5 *  F5
   Leave it all behind.

Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from rougher tide.
We're shifting the dream.
It's charging the sea.
I know where I marked the signs.

Suffer dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it.
I know him well, ugly and sweet
A temper madness who believed in extreme.

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say they aren't gonna like me
I say they don't know thier plane
Never left the ground.

(Chorus) x 1

Lift me, lift me,
I'll attain my dream.
I lost myself, I lost the,
Heartache calling me.


I lost myself in sorrow.
I lost myself in pain.
I lost myself in gravity.
Memory, leave, leave, leave.

(Chorus) x 2

In my hands my eyes are still
I walk into the sea
Shoot myself in a different place
And leave it.

Wait for this to take me,
It longed for my release.
Waited for the calling,
To leave, leave

Leave, leave, leave, leave
Leavin', Leavin'

Just arrived Singapore, San Sebastian, Spain, 26-hour trip.
Salt Lake City, come in spring.
Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me.
Salt Lake City, come in spring.
Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me.

{Verse Riff}
Departure, godspeed, bless his heart, good boy.
What a f*ck-up, what a fighter.
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider,
Hung on the vine like a poison spider.
Win a eulogy with William Greider,
car crash, ptomaine, explosion-provider,
bus plunge, avalanche, poison spider.
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider.


A5       G5

{Verse Riff}
Everybody is young forever.
There's so much to tell you, so little time.
I've come a long way since the whatever,
shit, I still see a word, think of you.
There's so much that I can't do, yeah.
You will be young forever.
There's so much that I can't do.
There isn't so much that I can't do.

A5       G5
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
A5       G5
Here it comes (I'm carried away)
A5       G5
Here it comes, back, back.

(w/ Riff A5 )
I move across, innocence lost
All flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites

"You're so bitter," your complaint
I can't give you anything.
I don't know who you're livin for
I don't know you at all anymore

F5          Bb5
I'd sooner chew my leg off,

D5       C5
Than be trapped in this cell
F5           Bb5              D5            G5
How easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me

A5    C5    G5      (Riff B5 )
I can't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

Move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
Move across the room
With heart full of glue, I'm stronger than you think

Oh my peer,
Your venier is wearing thin and cracking.
The surface and forms underneath,
Underneath is lacking

I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

You move across, innocence lost,
All static and desire,
You're blue in the face from a makeup case,
You set yourself on fire

You strip down, lay yourself out
I know you can't fake it,
But are you tired and naked?
Are you tired and naked?  Well,

I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me


I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

Lyrics:

I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny
I wanna be your Christmas tree.

I'll strip the world that you must live in
of all its godforsaken greed.
I'll ply the tar of your feathers
I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.

And if I choose your sanctuary.
I'll want to wash you with my hair.
I'll want to drink of sacred fountains
and find elixirs hidden there.

I'll eat the lotus and peyote.
I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing.
I'll want the secrets of the temple.
I'll want the finger with the ring.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.

And if you made me your religion.
I'll give all the room you need.
I'll be the drawing of your breath.
I'll be cup if you should bleed.
I'll be the sky above the Ganges
I'll be the vast and stormy sea.
I'll be the lights that guide you inland.
I'll be the visions you will see.
Visions you will see.
You will see.
You will see.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.

This is horror movie stuff.
the muffin is peach, you're 'makin' love'.
You mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated.

Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.
she's a girl and she's loving me
but distance is my tendency.
I am defeated

{Main riff}
If I'm your oyster, where's the war?
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn.
I know you can't find a fork.
I am just a little acorn.

Well, acorns grow to mighty trees.
You've got sauce, but you don't have knees.
Now look who's asking pretty please.
I lay defeated.

Call your bathroom friends around.
I will fake a little frown.
I will be your little clown,
easily defeated.

Yeah, shut the door and open wide.
seconal and astroglide.
fuck with me and traumatize.
don't you see I love your hide?

All the beauty that's trapped inside.
Can't you see I love your hide.
Can't you see I love your hide.
Can't you see it?

and swimming in your sleep.
D5         F5       C5          G5
How could I be so blind, mis-sighted,
D5                  F5                 C5
not to see there's something wounded deep?


D5            F5            C5       G5
Anyone could scratch your surface now,
D5        F5      C5

D5           F5            C5         G5
you're blasting yourself into the present
D5          F5            C5
learn some vast indignity, say that,


F5            G5
You say that you hate it,
F5           G5
you want to re-create it
E5        C5       G5              D5

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
                    C5
that you can't even feel.

You're drinking the raw Drano baby,
You do-si-do, saddo
You're you in cartilage, shark-eyed, shock horror, all present tense,
and boy your blood is running cold.
Listen, this is now, this is here, this is me,
this is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, was that, that is gone, this is past,
you cast yourself cast, passed by, gone down fast, you say,


F5            G5
You say that you hate it,
F5           G5
you want to re-create it
E5        C5       G5              D5
I've been around, I've been your lover.

You love it. You hate it.
You spit it out, the bitter pill.
I've been around, I've been your lover
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill.
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.

I've played this round, I've played your lover.
I've played it out to the hilt.
You're comin' on with something so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.

you played around, you played me lover,
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill.
You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.

All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives
Broken casino and waterslide
Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice.
Gravity pulls on the power line.

Jet stream cuts the desert sky.
This is a land could eat a man alive.
Say you'd leave it all behind.


{Bridge}:  D5 , G5


There's a radio tower that's egging me on
Back to the place where you never belong.
Where people thrive on their own contempt.
Whatever meaning is long gone, spent.
If you had to guess or make bet,
would you place yourself inside of it?
the mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh.
"Tricked again."  Let go, okay.
