Note: The solo lead is just noodling around in B. 
      Play with a similar rhythm to the recording and it'll sound fine.

Lyrics (not 100% accurate):

You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
That key you got won't fit that lock no more
That key you got won't fit that lock no more
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
That key you got won't let you in my door
That key you got won't let you in my door

My eyes have seen the glory and
The sound and image synchronize
Right there on the silver screen
Heard the sound
Suggesting
Lineage of influence
Yeah I saw it there
In the motherland
Steps and gables, steeples, stairways
Wind away from origin
In a trampled, finished, frosted roof
I cannot be free
The concert stage
The velvet cage
The glass perimeter of me
All my friends are disappearing
All my letters are in codes
All I ever think and feel
In your shadow
Pity roads
Waiting, waiting by the silent phone
I draft my next apology
Burn my letters once they're read
An ally, joy
I press repeat
An ally, joy
An ally, joy
Listen to what I just heard
It's rated on the sun tail bird?
And just like you
The way it moves
A thought that creeps in, grinning, always
In your hair and in your hallways
Got detained in San Francisco
On your way to get fresh air
The USA didn't want you there
Juggled oranges, but no one cared

You been ducking, dodging, but you can't come home no more
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
That key you got don't fit that lock no more
That key you got won't fit that lock no more

GUITAR SOLO

You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
That key you got won't fit that lock no more
That key you got won't fit that lock no more

You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
You been ducking, dodging, but you can't come home no more
That key you got won't let me in that door
That key you got won't fit that lock no more

Lady Macbeth, rock me mama
Like my back ain't got no bone
Like clicks heard on the telephone
Like a sudden, unhinged moan
That leaks out from your broken structure
Like a wall of unbound stone
They buried the eighth
They buried the ninth
They said the finale was a formal reply
They buried the eighth
They buried the ninth
They said the finale was a formal reply
They buried the eighth
They buried the ninth
They buried everything yeah I'm telling you guy
Contests' prizes, grand pianos
Gagged by comfort
Shamed by work
Empty anthems
Cloaked in strange
For stripes and bars
Is it yours
Stripes and bars
Stripes and bars
Stripes and bars and are you sure
Stripes and bars will lock you in
Lock you in or camouflage you
Feel the sign but cannot walk to
Hear the oath but cannot talk to
Dribblin, broken, what you swallow
With stripes and bars
That's what they're for
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
