A D
Frozen into coats
Bm
White girls of the North
G D
Fire past one fire the one
D
They are the fabled lambs
E
A Sunday ham
Bm
The ancient snow
A D
And they can float above the grass
A
In circles if they tried
G D
A latent power I know they hide
D
To keep some hope alive
E Bm
That a girl like I could ever try
A
Could ever try
F#m D E
So we just skirt the hallway signs
F#m
A phantom and a fly
F# D E
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection
A D
And weakened falling eyes
Bm
In cheap shots from the tribe
G D
And we're often in Marcus porch again
D E
Another afternoon with the gold head tunes
Bm
And pilfered booze
A D
We wandered through your mama's house
A
And the milk from the window lights
G D
Family portrait circa ninety-five
D
This is that foreign land
E
With the sprayed on tans
Bm
And it all feels fine
A
Beats circus slime
F#m D E
So when they tap our mundane heads
F#m
To zombie-walk in our stead
F# D E
This town seems hardly worth our time
F#m D E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme
F#m
To fall along in our crime
F# D E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky
With no connection
A D E
Ooooh-uh Ooooh-uh Ooooh
