Eb5
I was a quick wet boy
            C5
Diving too deep for coins
              Ab5
All of your straight blind eyes
            Bb5
Wide on my plastic toys
              Eb5
And when the cops closed the fair
          C5
I cut my long baby hair
            Ab5
Stole me a dog-eared map
               Bb5
And called for you everywhere


        Eb5
Have I found you?
  C5              Ab5        Bb5
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
   Eb5
Or lost you?
 C5
American mouth
Ab5         Bb5
Big bill looming


          Eb5
Now I'm a fat house cat
           C5
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
             Ab5
Watching the warm poison rats
                   Bb5
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks
           Eb5
Kissing on magazine photos
     C5                           Ab5
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
             Bb5
Blood of Christ mountain stream


        Eb5
Have I found you?
  C5              Ab5        Bb5
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
   Eb5
Or lost you?
 C5
American mouth
Ab5         Bb5     Ab5   Bb5 Eb5
Big bill, stuck going down
