Biography:
Frog Eyes is an indie rock band from Victoria (British Columbia, Canada), The quartet is led by singer/guitarist Carey Mercer and is known for their highly idiosyncratic songs, which pit Mercer's unhinged, melodic vocals against a swirling mass of guitar, keyboards, and drums. Drummer Melanie Campbell (also Mercer's wife) notably uses a 'found object' as part of her drums set, the so-called "dinger." This object was only used on their first three albums and has since been disposed of in favour of a normal ride cymbal.

[Verse 1]
Dm
Rejoinders in a storm, and just a need to s-stay warm,
Dm
Defiance is alright, let's go and ride up to the pier and fly a future on its kite,
Am Dm
Drink up the wine from your best friend's eyes, wobble down to Gary's on your best friend's thighs,
Dm
An idiotic dance, the crowds will likely dance,
Dm
They're gonna drown you out in bells, a penny for to have thrown down the well,
Am
A swallow, oh a swig, for a tree trunk or a twig
Dm Bb
All from out the mouth of the sweetest melody alive
[Chorus]
Bb C F Bb
And Mary, I'll run to you
Bb C F Bb
And Mary, I'll run to you, to you
Bb C
And Mary, I'll run...
[Verse 2]
Dm
Kiss the yellow mouth of a man who is in the sun,
Dm
The yellow of his eyes and from the mouth of a man betting tomb of sun,
Am
The sand hits the rocks, and the waves steal my socks,
Dm
I wake up, oh the morning, and his catalog fell,
Dm
Shot around the bend, shakes will leave your hand,
Dm
Cry for days, undone, laugh at the way your cookie crumbs into some pun,
Am
Fandom shall come, but only for the sun,
Dm Bb
And for the father, nothing but the sweetest melody alive
[Chorus]
Bb C F Bb
And Mary, I'll run to you, to you
Bb C F Bb
And Mary, I'll run to you, to you
Bb C
And Mary, I'll run...
[Bridge]
F Eb
Note the welt on your right rib side,
F Bb
Fish shaped and deluded to your time, oh no-oh-oh,
F Eb
See when your dancing till the morning time,
F Bb
Dance on the mantle like you did a dance in twelve year old,
F Eb
And if you dance before the rains arrive,
F Bb C
You shall dance into the mansion with the green glass glow,
Gm C
When she's dancing on the dancer's lonely stairs, oh no no no no no no
Gm C
See, when she's dancing on the dancer's lonely stairs, oh no no no no no no
Gm C
See, when she's dancing on the dancer's lonely stairs, oh no no no no no no no
[Outro]
Dm
And leaves...
Dm
And leaves...
Am Dm Am Dm
Oh no no no no no no no
Am Dm Am Dm
She leaves...
Am Dm Am Dm
And
Am Dm Am Dm
leaves...
