I ate a walnut
I ate a pecan pie
I brushed my hair so long
I brushed your virgin thigh

I tear the posters down
I make the temple fall
I have king’s blood
I am immortal

I ate a walnut
I ate a pecan pie
I brushed my hair so long
I brushed your inner thigh

I want to be a lonely coward
I want to be alone and hopeless
I hope all the milk turns sour

I want to be a city hobo
I want to dig an ugly hole
I want to lie in a city gutter
I want to fossilize my bones

I want to tell the city to eat me

Open E, Capo 4.

I’m going to commandeer this plane
Take it out for a joy ride
I will fly over the windy city
In the smoke of a dirty sky

I might just take this jet
A little further in the air
Where the clouds are below
in the tropicalasphere

Then I might take it down low
And buzz by all the liars
You might see what’s in front of you
But I can see for miles

and miles
and miles
and miles
and miles

You might follow my jet stream
You can hope that I will fall
I might have a mechanical failure
But I’ll still be far above you all

you all
you all
you all
awwwlll

I’ll commandeer this plane
Take it over the steel pillars
I will fly over the murder
I will smoke all the filters

You may be the king of your castle
You may sit high on your throne
You may rule the road and the water
But in the sky I am alone

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

In the sky… I…. am alone

Somewhere near a renegade
Burning up dollars his husband made
Collecting the smoke in jars

looking older than he should
signing postcards like he would

Somewhere Amiri Baraka sighs
And haunts his neighbors lullabies
He catches thousands of butterflies
And locks them inside of his house

and takes away all their disgust
and leaves them with dust

Somewhere at the edge of a war

Getting ready for the child’s parade
But the goal keeper gets out unscathed

You took on a pair of jeans
Ripped out the labels, took out the seams
Seems everything you make is holy

Take the train with the purple sun
And the violent girls, you know the ones

Froggie went a hunting and he did ride
Took a bottle of gatorade by his side
Poured it on an alligator’s eye

and leave him with out a dagger
but I couldn’t tell you for sure

12 Bar, G.

I got a letter from a lonely boy
I got a letter from a lonely boy
Said he wasted his life in a bank

The best years of his life
The best years of his life
Were spent groveling on the deck

They fed him food too rich to swallow
They fed him food too rich to swallow
They made him wallow like a boar

He said that he never got his fill
He said that he never got his fill
He was loaded but wanted more

The humblest advice he had to offer
The humblest advice he had to offer
If you see a topcoat run for your life

The best advice he had to offer
The best advice he had to offer
Not every killing wound is made by a knife

I got a letter from a lonely boy
I got a letter from a lonely boy
Who wasted his life wandering and lost

I broke the letter down into pieces
I broke the letter down into pieces
Left with my woman, my bible, and my cloth

Moving down the eastern seaboard

The moss is hanging like heart attacks
The trains are stuck on their tracks
It gets balmy in the ocean thickets
When all you hear are crickets

I don’t know if I’m still here
I don’t know if I’m still here
But I’ll keep on driving

I-95, I-295, 85 Miles per hour

The state of peaches the state of flowers
The state of sunshine the state of lovers

I don’t know if I’m still here
I don’t know if I’m still here
But I’ll keep on driving

I plan on speeding, leaving them in the dust
I plan on going as fast as I must

Without shame in a mirrored flask
Anti-septic black and tame
I had to get the face to shine
I put my thumb into the rind

I need a lift

One dollar without manhattan
Delilah always lives next door
Late at night you hear her suffer
Same as the night before

Oh the cold night stays the same
Couldn’t get the face to shine
Oh the iron face again

They broke my bones to teach me manners

They broke my bones to drain me dry
When I think of all the lessons I’ve learned
I can’t look any woman in the eye

They broke my back to keep me company
They broke my back to build restraint
And I know I’ve got some learning to do
And I thank you, thank you all you were great

Chorus:

When you suffer
you get stronger

When you suffer

They broke my muscles to teach me lessons
They broke my muscles to make me lean
And I guess I’m thankful for the result
But I’ll never be thankful for the means

Chorus

They whispered truths to make me bolder
They whispered truths to keep me loose
And when it was time to build my own beliefs
I whispered lies to make my truths

And when the sweet air
is caught
Every building in town
afloat
On the river
On the river still

When your arms are weak
When the moon is in the east

This song will make you sleep

When Margarita sleeps in silence
When your vision gets too heavy
When the wine tastes like violence
and your hands can’t fill the levy

This song will make you sleep

When every man has a gun
But nobody fires a shot
When the lamps are burning low
And all the thieves are caught

This song will make you sleep

I’ve been up all summer

If I get a good offer
I might turn it down cold

I’m not saying that you’re wrong
I can’t tell you what to do
But you’ll be down all day
Unless you let me carry you
If I get a good deal
I might share my excess with you

I cut my own hair
I don’t need a shave
What’s wrong with you
Why can’t you behave
Yeah, If you cut a deal
There’s so much you could save

You think you’ve got a problem
My that’s pretty bold
I’ve been up all summer
growing three types of mold
If I get a good offer
I just might explode

Drawing figures on my wall
Don’t bother with their faces at all
Drawing figures on my wall

I made myself a house
And cut you a key
You threw it in the wishing well
so you’d know where it’d be

I carved out a toy horse
I brought it to your door
You dragged it in
And I came in through the door (on the horse)

I started drawing figures on your wall
They looked like cave paintings from Gaul
Drawing figures on your wall

This one’s a pony
It looks like a rat
This one’s you
I look kind of fat

You broke up my crayons
You stepped on my lips
You took my grace
You gave me a parting kiss

Drawing figures on my wall
I’m better informed is all
Drawing figures on my wall
I’m just a little better informed

My eyes don’t blink
My hair is blonde
B5-> Aadd9 -> E7
And I’m struggling with all this force

I cut up dresses
My hair is getting long again
Singing in a muddled chorus

Through the sewers
I hunt for lunch
I don’t have time to make a mistake

And in the tunnels
under the city
I hear voices calling out for cake

I am petrified wood
Is my life still valuable
How much is it still worth

You can be alienated
Just turn off your tv
And see how loudly you can curse

The game is down
No one grew up
No one ever commits a sin

The lines of coke
On the breakfast nook
Where oh where to begin

A wandering eye
carries no blood
A broken mirror
carries no blood

A wandering eye
carries no blood
A broken mirror
carries no blood

Quickly I saw the rich brought into our house
With knives in their hands, tape on their mouths
They cut up the upholstery and let out the air
They took the rakes to the lawn, swept the roots bare

D# -> A# -> C# -> G#
But I don’t know
If I saw it at all,
No, I don’t know
If I want to run away x2

Someone cut my tree into pencils and filled the basin
With this milky root mixture from the blender in the kitchen
They held their salad bowls up to the air with their hands
And they commenced the waiting while you and I ran

But I don’t know
If I saw it at all,
No, I don’t know
If I want to run away x2

Into her sensual bonds

I get as far away as I can be

The drummer keeps on drumming
He doesn’t know what else to do
And me I’m just stuck strumming
With these no good, no name blues

If I couldn’t find a good reason
There’s so much that you would assume
I’d be out there with a gun
Shooting turkeys in the afternoon

Oh the sun’s too bright in this town
And It never goes down, it never goes down
When everyone stands together
Then they make an easy target

Yeah, the holster’s made of leather
But there’s nothing in it

The drummer keeps on drumming
He doesn’t know what else to do
And me I’m just stuck strumming
With these no good, no name blues

The drummer keeps on drumming
He doesn’t know what else to do
And me I’m stuck on a second bar
With these no good, no name blues

Oh, if you’re kind you won’t slay me
Even though I won’t ask much from you
But forgiveness ain’t unkind so sue me
Just another white boy singing the blues

The drummer keeps on drumming
He doesn’t know what else to do
And me I’m just stuck with writer’s block
With these no good, no name blues
Oh, they’ll have to do for you x2

Hello, Neighbor

I could’ve sworn it was meant to be
Hello, Friend
Why don’t you ever look at me?

Want to get a bite to eat?
Hello, Sister
Can I offer you a seat?

Why don’t we ever dance?
G#
Why don’t you ever dance with me?
B
Yeah, we’d be good together
F#
Why don’t we ever dance?

Hello, Spaceman
You’re awake now I see
Hello, Lover Boy
What have you brought to offer me?

Hello, Garden Snake
Waiting in the grass
Hello, Mourning Dove
Goodbye heart of glass

Open-D, capo 4.

E-B-E
Had a house in Havana
We bribed all our friends
We’d buy them with women
We’d bribe them with cigar ends
And that old bard
Shot himself with a pen
We never seen his fat face again

A - E
Tell me how to win
Tell me how to win
Where does this ocean begin?

Now all our friends are dead
We’ll never see their fat faces again
And all the frogs are dead
They’re very susceptible to bad winds
And everything you thought was dead
Was just begining
And everything I thought was dead
Was made out of pudding

Tell me how to win
Tell me how to win
Where’s the ocean begin?

That old black guy used to play the ukulele
He cut off his foot
That old white guy used to play the banjo
Now he’s kaput
Hey, I’m just trying to deal with death
I just want to win

Tell me how to win
Tell me how to win
Where’s the ocean begin?

I want to write about a mining disaster
Where the good guys don’t win
I want to write about emotion disaster
Then I want to find out
Where the ocean begins

Where’s the ocean begin?
Where’s the ocean begin?
Tell me how to win
Where does the ocean begin?
