some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
ain't it hard ain't it hard,

or be left behind

CHORUS
now you've had your fun
under an air-conditioned sun
it's burned into your eyes
leaves you plain and left behind
see them eyes and fall
into the jaws of a pestilent love
you didn't know what to say to
..yourself
love is a poverty you couldn't
..sell
misery waiting in vague hotels
to be a victim
7. Dead Melodies
capo 5th fret, arpeggiating chords
SOL RE DO
where will you go when this day is
MIm MI..over
a gambler's purse lays on the road
RE7MIm
straight to your door
snakes have gone crazy tonight
REm LAm RE RE7winding their way out of sight
a laugh, a joke a sentiment wasted
seasons of strangers they've come
..and gone
doldrums are pounding,
cheapskates are clowning this town
who could disown themselves now
engineer, slow down this old train
cinders and chaff laugh at the
..moon
night birds will cackle
rotting like apples on trees
REm LAm REsending their dead melodies...to
LA7..me

i just found me a bottle of blues
some strange comfort for a soul to
..soothe
ain't it hard ain't it hard,
to want somebody who doesn't want
..you
and i've been waiting for a year,
..a day
some strange weather must be
..blowin' my way
cause i got no mind to go or to
..stay,
or be left behind
FA MI
holdin' hands with an impotent
..dream
FA MIin a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard
..machine
i get higher and lower
RE9 SOL#i get higher and lower
RE9 MIblike a tired soldier with nothin'
..to shoot
FA RE9and nowhere to lose this bottle of
DO..blues
egos drone and pose alone
like black balloons all banged and
..blown
on a backwoods river the infidels
..shiver
in the stench of belief
i tell my momma i'm a hundred
..years late
i'm over the rails and out of the
..race
and the crippled psalms of an age
..that won't thaw
are ringing in my ears
holdin' hands with an impotent
..dream
in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard
..machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere dreams it's a..
bottle of blues
(repeat first verse)
holdin' hands with an impotent
..dream
in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard
..machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere dreams it's a..
bottle of blues
bottle of blues

there's no whiskey there's no wine
just the concrete and a worried

and i don't care if he's decrepit

o maria haven't you known
days so careless
all on your own
'cause everybody knows the circus

and the animals have gone wild
and i've been lookin' for my

but this place is so bright and so

a town of disrespect
REthe trains are wrecked
the night is younger then us
SI7 MInowhere is anywhere else
LAyou keep to yourself
stirring the dregs where i have
..layed
the exit signs are flashing
LA REdead ends they won't come to life
LA..anymore
i pledge the rest
i should have guessed
your love was hanging by threads
tongues tied under the moon,
my love is a room of broken
..bottles
and tangled webs
the misers wind their minds
like clocks that grind their gears
on and on

who you foolin' with the fools are

hard to tell when it pacifies your

leaves you stranded with a broken

lazy desert looks so mangled
let me drown in a convalescent

you've been flunked out of the

delinquent hygienes are so

some distortion that's never been

holy mountains, they look so tired

hear that lonesome whistle blow
no direction to be known
in a senile of revery
a tearful gaze turns away
eroding cold and grey
scented eunuchs clothe our
..wretchedness
(bass comes back in)
looking back at some dead world
..that looks so new
offices and fountains that they
..named for you
so ungrateful to the who's and

terrorist confections look so out
