Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth v1 Primitive Radio Gods
[G]Jan lays down and wrestles in her [C]sleep
[G]Moonlight spills on comic books
And [Bm]superstars in [C]magazines
An[G] old friend calls and tells us where to [C]meet
Her p[G]lane takes off from Baltimore
And t[Bm]ouches down on [C]Bourbon Street
We [G]sit outside and [C]argue all night long
A[G]bout a god we've never seen
But [Bm]never fails to [C]side with me
[G]Sunday comes and [C]all the papers say
[Bm]Ma Teresa's joined the mob
And h[C]appy with her full time job
[G]Do do do do doo do
Am [G]I alive or [C]thoughts that drift away?
Does [G]summer come for everyone?
Can [Bm]humans do as [C]prophets say?
And i[G]f I die be[C]fore I learn to speak
Can m[G]oney pay for all the days I [Bm]lived awake
But h[C]alf asleep?
[G]Do do do do doo do x 2
A [G]life is time, they [C]teach us growing up
The [G]seconds ticking killed us all
A [Bm]million years be[C]fore the fall
You r[G]ide the waves and [C]don't ask where they go
You [G]swim like lions through the crest
And b[Bm]athe yourself on [C]zebra flesh
[G]I've been downhearted baby,
I've been downhearted baby,
Ever since the [Bm]day we [C]met
(repeat)
As always, this is an interpretation of O'Connor's brilliant song. Corrections, btab,
are welcome.

"If I die before I learn to speak
Will money pay for all the days
I've lived awake but half-asleep"
