Ashamed of our bodies in the stream

I said, "Abigal the shore is frozen!"
G F#m
Our tar trails, they're all bulldozen now

Your bygone sounds are cidada-bound,

They're so shrilling, and night-smoke tarry,
A A/G [Riff 1] D Cadd9
You should spill them into the starry,
A A/G [Riff 1] D
They are children, and no one's sorry.
