[Verse 1]
A#m G# F# D#m
I followed her down by the railroad tracks
A#m G# F# D#m
Waited until she couldn't turn back
A#m G# F# D#m
Her clothes in a pile and her blood in a stream
A#m G# F# F E7m
Yeah a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
[Verse 2]
A#m G# F# D#m
Took both her kids and put em in the garage
A#m G# F# E7m F#
And I took off in her car and became a mirage
A#m G# F# D#m
Out in the desert where the air is clean
A#m G# F# Fm D#m
And a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
[Bridge]
F# D#7m Em
An innocent man might take the blame
F# G# F#m A#m G# F# D#m
I'll shave my head, and change my name
[Verse 3]
A#m G# F# D#m
Out in the desert it's as still as death
A#m G# F# D#m
It's as if mother nature mother nature was holding her breath
A#m G# F# D#m
The coyotes howl and the vultures scream
A#m G# F# Fm D#m
And a lullaby don't always turn to a dream

[Verse 4]
A#m G# F# D#m
I guess it started when I was a teen
A#m G# F# D#m
And my parents will never know their little boy is such a fiend
A#m G# F# D#m
I guess sometimes it works out, but you never know what it means
A#m G# F# Fm D#m
Cause a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
F# C# D#m
Naw, a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
