A# D# A# D#
I have a friend, he's mostly made of pain
A# D# A# D#
He wakes up, drives to work and straight back home again
A# D# A# D#
He once cut one of my nightmares out of paper
A# D# A# D#
I thought it was beautiful, I put it on a record cover
F A# D#
And I tried to tell him that he had a sense
F A# D#
Of color and composition so magnificent
D# F D# F
And he said thank you, please, but your flattery
D# F D# F
It is truly not becoming me
D# F D# F
Your eyes are poor, you're blind, you see
D# F D# F
No beauty ever could have come from me
A# D#
I'm a waste
A# D#
Of breath,
A# D#
of space,
A# D#
of time
A# D#
A# D# A# D#
I knew a woman, she was dignified and true
A# D# A# D#
Her love for her man was one of her many virtues
A# D# A# D#
Until one day she found out that he had lied
A# D# A# D#
And decided the rest of her life from that point on would be a lie
F A# D#
She was grateful for everything that had happened
F A# D#
And she was anxious for all that would come next
D# F D# F
But then she wept, what did you expect?
D# F D# F
In that big old house with the car she kept
D# F D# F
And, "Such is life," she often said
D# F D# F
With one day leading to the next
D# F D# F
You get a little closer to your death
D# F D# F
Which was fine with her, she never got upset
D# F D# F
And with all the days she may have left
D# F D# F
She would never clean another mess
D# F D# F
Or fold his shirts or look her best
A# D#
She was free
A# D#
To waste
A# D#
away
A# D#
alone
A# D#
A# D#
A# D# A# D#
Last night my brother he got drunk and drove
A# D# A# D#
And this cop pulled him off to the side of the road
A# D# A# D#
And he said, "Officer, officer, you've got the wrong man
A# D# A# D#
No, no, I'm a student of medicine, a son of a banker, you don't understand"
F A# D#
The cop said, "No one got hurt, you should be thankful
F A# D#
Your carelessness, it is truly something awful
D# F D# F
And no, I can't just let you go
D# F D# F
even though your father's name is known
D# F D# F
Your decisions now are yours alone
D# F D# F
You're nothing but a stepping stone
A# D#
On a path
A# D#
To debt,
A# D#
to loss
A# D#
to shame
A# D#
A# D# A# D#
The last few months I've been living with this couple
A# D# A# D#
Yeah, you know the kind who buy everything in doubles
A# D# A# D#
Yeah, they fit together like a puzzle
A# D# A# D#
I love their love, and I am thankful
F A# D#
That someone actually received the prize that was promised
F A# D#
By all those fairy tales that drugged us
D# F D# F
And still do me, I'm sick, lonely
D# F D# F
No laurel tree, just green envy
D# D# F
Will my number come up eventually?
D# F D# F
Like love's some kind of lottery
D# F D# F
Where you scratch and see what's underneath
A# D#
It's sorry,
A# D#
just one cherry
A# D#
I'll play again
A# D#
get lucky
A# D#
A# D# A# D#
So now I hang out down by the train's depot
A# D# A# D#
No, I don't ride, I just sit and watch the people there
A# D# A# D#
They remind me of windup cars in motion
A# D# A# D#
The way they spin and turn and jockey (or jerk each other off) for positions
F A# D#
And I want to scream out that it all is nonsense
F A# D#
And their life's one track and can't they see it's pointless?
D# F D# F
But just then my knees give under me
D# F D# F
My head feels weak and suddenly
D# F D# F
It's clear to see it's not them but me
D# F
Who's lost my self-identity
D# F
And I hide behind these books I read
D# F
While scribbling my poetry
D# F
Like art could save a wretch like me
D# F
With some ideal ideology
D# F
That no one could hope to achieve
D# F D# F
And I'm never real, it's just a sketch of me
D# F D# F D#
And everything I've made is trite and cheap
A# D#
And a waste
A# D#
Of paint
A# D#
of tape
A# D#
of time
A# D#
A# D#
A# D# A# D#
So I park my car down by the cathedral
A# D# A# D#
Where the floodlights point up at the steeples
A# D# A# D#
Choir practice is filling up with people
A# D# A# D#
I hear the sound escaping as an echo
A# D# A# D#
Sloping off the ceiling at an angle
A# D# A# D#
When the voices blend they sound like angels
A# D# A# D#
I hope there's some room still in the middle
F A# D#
But when I lift my voice up now to reach them
F A# D#
The range is too high way up in heaven
D# F D# F
So I hold my tongue, forget the song
D# F D# F
Tie my shoes, start walking off
D# F D# F
And try to just keep moving on
D# F D# F
With my broken heart and my absent God
D# F D# F
And I have no faith and it's all I want
A# D#
to be loved,
A# D#
and to love
A# D#
and believe
A# D#
In my soul
A# D# A# D# A# D# A# D#
in my sooooooo oh oh ooooh oh oh ooooul
A# D# A# D# A# D# A# D#
in my sooooooo oh oh ooooh oh oh ooooul
