the sleeping bags on fire

and its getting down to the wire

so grab a sofa spot and settle down awhile

cause its getting hard to think

and my clothes are starting to shrink

and the moon is sagging down like a metal ball

and the world is a holiday

smoking in an old ashtray

they just blow it out their nose and say ok

so lets try to make this last

the past is still the past

and tomorrow is just another crazy scam

(repeat first verse)

Well there aint nobody left to impress

and everyone's kissing their own hands

its 666 on the kichen floor

aint no fire in the pan

stiff as a stick on a board

i get thoughts and dirty socks

piled in the corner

i get lonesome (4x)

I've got a burnt orange peel and a potato stew

I've got work to get done

I've got work to get done

Nobody knows where to run

(up 1/2 step)

I've got a quart of milk and some sound advice

I've got

But they smell so nice

Don't give me the flu

Nobody knows I'm with you

(up 1/2 step)

Back and forth I dodge a fly

Like a feather in the sky

Write me out a check

Give me all your cash

Nobody knows, so let's just go home

there's no	thing to s	ell you.

In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat,

burning equipment, decomposing.

Cool off your jets,

take off your sweats,

I got a funny feeling

they got plastic in the afterlife.

When they want you to cry,

leap into the sky.

When they suck your mind,

like a pigeon you fly.

I know, I know,

it's the positive people

running from their time

looking for some feeling.

do the things you feel

walk around with a broken leg

get yourself a dog

stay up all night gettin' drunk

sleepin' on a hollow log

walk till your restless

sleep till your tired

wake up without thinking

your the one that I desire

stand outside with a suitcase

(there's a forcefield round my neck)

walk around all the while

(and it stands just where I sat)

look at the people driving backwards

(and the stance I took on that)

no particular style

(leaves that forcefield round my back)

don't let it get near you

don't let it get too close

don't let it turn you into

(and the stance I took on that)

the things you hate the most

(leaves a forcefield round my neck)

roll out your silver-dollar coffins

pull out your buckskin gloves

tell them anything you want to

the sound comes from above

Fourteen rivers

fourteen floods

send your body to the heavens above.

Don't get drunk

don't get dry

just bring your money next Saturday night.

Forty miles on a cattle trail

with a happy mule

and nothing on my mind

all my life I've been talking fast

taking all the things

that I should have let pass.

Throw my hat on a coffee mill

put another brick

in the fire place.

Well I don't know about you or me

but some got loose

back on down.

She dangles carrots, makes you feel embarrassed

And their t	ongues will burn in v	ain

	C	F
And everyt	hing will feel the s	ame

There's no patience there's no peace

I have seen the land beyond

Where the gravestones never cease

I have seen the land beyond

Through the troubles of the years

A heavenly apparition appears

And we're haunted by our own minds

And the spirit calls in the skies

From these shores where we belong

I have seen the land beyond

I'll be there and I'll be gone

I have seen the land beyond

Seventeen years in the city

static clinging to the ceiling

never did I think it would come to this

how come it's different than I expected

never did I think it would come to this

how come it's different than I expected

Riot cops cheerleaders

eyebrows painted on their heads

mouthful of rotting cavities

drinking coca cola in the street

(chorus)

Shot in the leg

shot in the leg

my name is a bone

nobody home

my hand is a wire

the sky is on fire

the drums aren't beating

pistols in jeans

laugh at the dead

laugh at the dead

love if you're dead

dead as a fly

guitar tuned down 1/2 step

	A	E
	I wake up and look upon your p	ainted eyelids

	F#	E7
The w	orld is your oyster and the	trash bags are your kids

	A	E
The c	eiling is invisible there's a b	ird sinkin thru the sky

	F#	E7
	And every hour that passes is t	eachin me how to cry

	D7	A
Cuz it's l	onely here in the u	gly part of town

	B7	E7
The b	uildings are all vacant and the t	elephones are down

There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin

The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in

And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris

And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see

So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show

Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own

(Harmonica solo over A-E-F#-E7)

So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair

The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air

Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you

And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream

	A
that ever drifted	by

(repeat)

There hasn't been a change in the atmosphere

(nothing twisted round, burning down, come around)

There hasn't been a change for over a year

(sliding through the water through hiding you)

There hasn't been a change in the atmosphere

(shut it up, roll it up, find a new)
