Lyrics

(CN.C.)I was a (D)quick, wet boy div ing too (Bm)deep for coins.

All of your (G)street light eyes wide on my (A)plas tic toys.

Then when the (D)cops closed the fair, I cut my (Bm)long ba by hair and stole me a (G)dog eared map, called for you (A)ev ’ry where.

Have I (D)found you,

(Bm)flight less bird?

(G)Jea lous,

(A)weep

A (Bm)me ri can mouth.

(G)Big pill

(CN.C.)Now I’m a (D)fat house cat, nurs ing my (Bm)sore blunt tongue.

Watch ing the (G)warm poison rates curl through the (A)wide fence cracks.

Piss ing on (D)mag a the zine pho tos, those (Bm)fish ing by lures and thrown in the (G)cold and clean blood of Christ (A)moun tain stream.

Have I (D)found you,

(Bm)flight less bird?

A (Bm)me ri can mouth.

(G)Big pill

(A)loom
