Verse 1:
C G F
At your house the smell of our still living human bodies and oven gas
You pray to nothing out loud
C Am F
Two first names and an ampersand embroidered proudly on a kitchen towel
C G F G
You're a beautiful and violent work with the skinny neck of a Chinese bird
C G
in a fading ancient painting.
Am F C
And if you're in heaven waiting you made it there fighting
G F G
the tightest kite string in a bad storm with lightning.
Chorus:
Am C F/A Am/C
And now these few presidents frowning in my pocket
F Am/E G F C/E G
can persuade no god to let me let you talk.
Am C F/A Am/C
And now these few presidents frowning in my pocket
F C/E G F C/E G
can persuade no god to let me let you off.
C G
Even though I haven't seen you in years
F G Am G F
yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere.
Verse 2:
C G
I thought I had a pebble in my sock
Am F
I pulled it off and shook out a wasp
C G
It stumbled out lost and without a pause
Am F
unstung as I was, still I stomped it.
Am F
I thought "There is no paved street worthy
Am F
of your perfect Scandinavian feet."
Am F
My crooked chinese fingers groped
Am F G
the machinery of your throat.
Am
Repeat Chorus, end on "anywhere."
