Biography:
Mark Eitzel (born January 30, 1959) is best known as lead singer of the San Francisco band american music club. He was voted Rolling Stone's Songwriter of the Year in 1991.
Eitzel's first solo album was the (now elusive) cassette-only 'Mean Mark Eitzel Gets Fat' (1982), which pre-dates his AMC work. He released a solo live album, songs of love live in 1991, featuring raw and emotional acoustic versions of his best AMC songs. His first solo album proper was 1996's 60 Watt Silver Lining, a highly personal, jazz-inflected work.

[Verse 1]
G# A#
My clothes are ripped and torn
C C
I keep falling on my knee
G# A#
Like a butterfly to chloroform
C C
I'm Praying to be free
[Verse 2]
G# A#
The sidewalk gets high off my blood
C C
It chews and chews it like gum
G# A#
Without hunger, without love
C C
Even after all the flavor’s gone
[Chorus]
Cm
Threw all my change in the oceans
G# Gm
Worn-out Dixie cup
Cm C7sus4
To take my prayer up to the mountain
A# Gm
Where it goes Please don’t trip me up
Cm C7sus4 Cm C7sus4
Just let me go
[Verse 3]
G# A#
Once I had a house made of stone
C C
And I lived high above the dirt
G# A#
Now I stumble down a road made of bone
C C
From those who just could not be hurt
[Chorus]
Cm
Threw my fortune at the feet
G# Gm
Of the beautiful soak
Cm
All he does is drink and eat
G# Gm
Every word and every note
Cm Csus4 Cm Csus4
Let them go Let them go
[Chorus]
Cm Csus4
Throw away all you have
G# Gm
For the dream that takes you down
Cm Csus4
All your trash, all your cash
G# Gm
For the dream that takes you down
Cm Csus4
There’s nothing behind the disguise
G# Gm
But untouchable grace
Cm Csus4
You think the pretty picture
G# Gm
Wears your pretty face
Cm Csus4
Just let it go
