sitting out on your house
watching hardcore ufo's
A
drawing pictures, playing solos til ten

are you amplified to rock?
are you hoping for a contact?
A
i'll be with you, without you, again
C F#
turn and run, the angel's calling
A G
you say when and i say i'm falling
C F#
up and down through broken down buildings
A G
back and forth but please don't bother at all
D A
count the days that we have wasted from the start
D
speak the words and build a playground
A
in your head
C F#
turn and run, the angel's calling
A G
you say when and i say i'm falling
C F#
up and down through broken down buildings
A G
back and forth but you know why i left you for so long
you know why i left you for so long...

smothered in hugs
F F/E
in the summer that you came
Bb F
there was something eating everyone
F F/E
and the sunshine fund was low
Bb
we couldn't greet you
F
with a simple hello
F F/E
and the watchers of the flood
Bb F
were busy in their chambers
F F/E
making sure there was new blood
Bb F
to sustain their dying veins
F
but i believed you
C
no need for further questioning
Bb
i'm gonna leave with you
F
you can teach me all you know
F
which way will we go now
C
on our trip to taller windows
Bb
i really don't know now
F
i really don't know
F F/E
in the winter that you left
Bb
there was business as usual
F
with the same old fears and frustrations
F
but the word got out
F/G
it was really such a pity
Bb
but the judges and the saints
C
and the textbook committee
F Bb
decided you should be left out
F
not even mentioned
F
but i believed you
C
no need for further questioning
Bb
i'm gonna leave with you
F
you can teach me all you know
F
which way will we go now
C
on our trip to taller windows

(on the verses, just skip the second one)
to see you sight unseen is worse
then pick you up because you're first
and go where the whistle blows
and go where the captain knows
is just a lie
to train the bear to not get up
slay the beast and win the cup
and stay with the sweet flesh prize
a necklace of 50 eyes
is yours to keep

with the walls coming down
Em C D
or something like that
G Bm/F# Em C
most of us are quite pleased

with the same old song

with everything to lose and nothing to gain

Bm E Bm Am
man of wisdom and man of compromise
Bm G C D
man of weak flesh in an armored disguise

G Bm/F# Em C
C G Em
"if it's right you can tell" echos myron like a siren
F
with endurance like the liberty bell
Em
and he tells you of the dreamers
F
but he's cracked up like the road
Em C
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
G G/F# Em C C/B C
and we're finally here and shit yeah it's cool
G G/F# Em C C/B C
and shouldn't it be - or something like that

mincer ray
(i don't know)
mincer ray don't worry
if the road's a little worn
it's a cold and filthy cavern
that we're traveling on
richer day assured me
of the weak-link mending plan
danger's always there to follow
just do the best you can
and a light shines down...
mincer ray don't worry
if the road's a little worn
it's a cold and filthy cavern
that we're traveling on
and a light shines down
and a light shines down..
a big fan of the pigpen
(not this one either)
oh, to speak on one's feet
to beat on one's brain
the popular mechanics are at it again
a tenement filled with side-show freaks
assembled to downgrade
an immpeccable arrangement
by the soft-rock renegades
and give me time to light
a sentimental torch tonight
i'm a big fan of the pigpen
sharper than most
cut with exacto
gone is all good
ex post facto
ba-da-ba-da...
oh, oh...
queen of cans & jars
(this is also very hard, but something like this:)
E---------------------------------
B-0-5-5-5-5-7-5-5-0-5-5-5-5-9-7-7-
E A B
to see the light and try but fail
E A B
on jagged seas that can't be sailed
E A B
and sought to lead but always trailed
E
asked questions anyway
E
and all around the breeding grounds
the nymphos sweetly played
B E
the queen of cans and jars will keep them safe
E A B
to be so keen on global trend
E A B
to be so tight on how and when
E A B
to scratch and claw until the end
E
to work for each new day
E
and all around the hunting ground
the dead were on display
B E
the queen of cans and jars will keep them safe
her psychology today
(nope)
yeah you know things could get much worse
you know things could get much worse
could be better, yeah..
her psychology today is to play the crying game
to elicit a response to determine every gain
and i'm wanting to attain something in this turnabout
when she speaks the flag unfurls
and the heavens split in half
when she launches her attack
in her opening paragraph
and she is having the time of my life
she is having - she is
....?
hey you know things could get much better
could be better
hey you know things could get much better
could be better
gotta be better, you know..
