Em

Am Em
Though by the path I lead
Am Em
The passing of time and the pouring of tea
Am Em
Are all I've lately seen
F G
O my soul
Am Em
Until the temporal bridge be burned
Am Em
Until our anchor stocks hold firm
Am Em
Where the hands of clocks don't turn
F G
O my soul
Am Em
May our lips remain discreet
Am Em
While your traps are beneath our feet
Am Em
But how long before our tails are caught
F G
By our quote free endquote thought?
F G
Sugar in the cane, candles low
F G
Kettle on the flame for the teapot? No
Dm C
I tremble at the thought
F G
Sugar in the cane, candles low
F G
Southside Flats where the upscale go
Dm C
I tremble at the thought!
Dm C
I tremble at the thought!

(palm muted)
Am Em
On the Streets of Mexican Wars

Am
I battle with the memory of a first fight
Em Am
In our contemptible youth

I quoted White Nights
Em
Thinking that'd get rid of you
Am Em
And waited with a stone in my hand

But you were quite right:
Am
Nature had another plan
Em
(& failed to run it by me)
Am
Nature had another plan
Em Am
Some other surrogate self
Em Am
To live in the sediment of so many somebody elses'
Em
Innumerable lives and you were right:
F
It's not a person who dies
G
But worlds die inside us

F G
Sugar in the cane and the candles are low
F G
On the West End Bridge looking down at the Ohio
Dm C
I tremble at the thought of what's often referred to as 'karma.'
F G
The sugar and the candles are gone
F G
You panic like a mouse when the lights go on
Dm C
(I ADMIT, IT WARMS MY HEART
TO WATCH YOUR WORLD FALL APART)
F G
The colorful hills talked me down from the bridge:
F G
To heck with all the drugs my parents did
Dm C
I'd like to meet whoever said the words we print in red
Dm C
With a coin in my teeth on the Mexican War Streets

F * C *
Rivers of sadness and mutual need
Am * Dm *
In the loud desperation of social routine
C ** G *
The rock of salvation, lightly esteemed
Am * Aadd9 *
And distance surging like oceans between us
F * C *
Suspended by strings Over rotating wheels
Am * Dm *
Via magnets and springs Of Carnegie steel
C ** G *
With 'representation' our fashionable theme
Am * Aadd9 *
And unfathomably powerful forces Like oceans between us
F * C *
We have all the signs we need
Am * Dm * C **
Do we decide not to read? My will: And those who precede:
C ** G * Am *
the relation between Is listening beside me
Aadd9 *
At night like some seismic machine
F * C *
While the metal vibrations of petrified men
Am * Dm *
Are etched in translation by pendulum pens
C ** G **
And the movements of underground plates
Am *
Do nothing to bridge or exacerbate
Aadd9 *
Oceans between us
