{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.
D G Em
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D G Em
The story of my life in trying times.
D G Em
Just add water, stir in lime.
D A
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.
D G Em
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D G Em
The story of my life in trying times.
D G Em
Just add water, stir in lime.
D A
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.
D G Em
The story is a sad one, told many times.
D G Em
The story of my life in trying times.
D G Em
Just add water, stir in lime.
D A
How the west was won and where it got us.

Fields of poppies, little pearls

All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed

Each and every one a little scary

I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars

Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras

Dreaming of Maria Callas

Whoever she is

This fame thing, I don't get it

I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it

Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves

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 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'

(w/ Riff A)
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
F Bb
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Dm C
Than be trapped in this cell
F Bb Dm G
How easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me
Am C G (Riff B)
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?

SO FAST, SO NUMB
D F C G
You're movin' through rough waters motel boy,
D F C
and swimming in your sleep.
D F C G
How could I be so blind, mis-sighted,
D F C
not to see there's something wounded deep?
D F C G
Anyone could scratch your surface now,
D F C
it's all amphetamine
D F C G
you're blasting yourself into the present
D F C
learn some vast indignity, say that,
F G
You say that you hate it,
F G
you want to re-create it
Em C G D
I've been around, I've been your lover.
Emm C F
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill,
Em C G G
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
C
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,
F G
You say that you hate it,
F G
you want to re-create it
Em C G D
I've been around, I've been your lover.
Emm C F
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill,
Em C G G
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
C
that you can't even feel.

You love it. You hate it.
You want to re-create it.
Now, this is here, this is me,
This is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, was that, that is gone.
That is what I wanted you to feel.
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}: D, G
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.
