IN AN OPEN FIELD AT DUSK
TO FOOTFALLS I AWOKE
MARCHING ANTS ACROSS MY TEMPLES, OH


G5
THEIR FEET HAD NO INTENTION
THEY FOLLOWED SOME MAGNETIC DRUM
E5                 A5  E5
PRISONERS OF THEIR DESTINATION


VERSE 1:

G5
FROM THE SLATS OF THE FACTORY COME
WHERE ONCE THEY DID MAKE RAILS
OLD DEATH'S PECULIAR SONGS
          C5          A5
HE DIDN'T KNOW I WAS LISTENING

VERSE 2:

G5
SO HE CROWED OUT NICE AND LONG
                       A5             G5 *
TO THE SPIDERS AND THE LUMBER AND THE DUST
       A5                D5           E5
OF HIS CONQUESTS AND HIS HUNGER, HIS LUST

VERSE 3:

G5
I HEARD HIS FEET REJOICE
I HEARD HIM TAP HIS CANE
   A5
AS IF HE HAD HIS OWN REVIEW
                D5
ON STAGE AT THE ATHENAEUM

VERSE 4:

  E5                       G5 *
I CAUGHT HIS WORDS WITH MY OPEN MOUTH
  E5                    G5 *
I GAGGED AND CHOKED AND SPIT THEM OUT
  E5                  G5 *
I HEARD HIM TURN AS HE DID HEAR
   C5              A5
MY TINY HEARTBEAT IN HIS EAR
E5
I WAS ALREADY RUNNING
I HEARD HIM COMING


VERSE 5:

E5                     G5 *
SHRAPNEL SPITTING FROM HIS WHEELS
E5                     G5 *
HIS SCYTHING ARMS RAKE FOR MY HEELS
E5                     G5 *
I DOVE AND ROLLED AND HID MY FACE
      A5               E5
AND I SAID THESE MAGIC WORDS:

CHORUS:

A5                    C5                  E5
"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER BREAST IS WARM, MY DOVE IS HOME"

G5
I SAID THESE MAGIC WORDS AND
     A5
FELL DOWN, DOWN, THE ANTHILL
E5
FOR DAYS

A5                    C5                  E5
"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER BREAST IS WARM, MY DOVE IS HOME"
A5                    C5                  E5
"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER BREAST IS WARM, MY DOVE IS HOME"
