[Fm] Burn it with the water
[Bb] The clouds are high on [F] the plains
The planets and the roads
Who [C] knows what they contain
And [F] my brain is like an orchestra
[Bb] Playing in a one [F]-string
[C] We love me
Like you love me
In [Bb] January [F]
rain
Mom in bed and violin
[Bb]
Song of country [F] silence
The needle [Fm] stuck the key
[C] The clothespins on the floor
And my [F]
heart is praying
Hide and seek
[Bb]
Awaiting chance [F] of four
[C] We love me
Like you love me
[Bb]
Never ask [F] for more
[Bb] What did you tell me, Barry
When you were growing so [F] sweet and dairy
For the building stars you carried all the time
Oh, [C] in heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your [Bb] hands were making [F] artifacts
In the corner of my mind
[Bb] Man is staring at a problem
We machine it [F] up
Diamond rings and water bombs
Marching up and dancing
The [Bb] garden planet, I am smiling
Shhh, dark and bright
A cull of butterflies
The father tenderness, the sweetest silence
[C] The clay you find is fortified
We felt and hope you stayed in line
The sugar rush, the constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
The [Bb] marching band running for air
Made you bogus flying
Push [C] your old Jim Jacob
With the tired, wiry, dandy look
[Bb] Here we go around, Barry
And [F] you're gonna show me
We overcome our sirens
[Bb] We look both left [F] and right
And I can feel the numbness
Accompany my flight
[C] I don't [Fm] know [F] what else to do
[Bb] But now you're out of [F] sight
[Am] And you kiss [C] me
Like you used to in the [Bb] gym
And I'm missing you every [F] night

[Bb] What did you tell me, Mary
When you were so sweet and [F] hairy
Through the fields and stalls
You carried all the time
[C] Holding heavy machinery
[Bb] I hate the [F] artifacts in the corner of my [C]
mind
[Bb] Man is staring at a problem
We machine [C] it up
Diamond rings and water bombs
Marching up and dancing
The [Bb] garden planet, I am smiling
Shhh, dark and bright
A cull of butterflies
The fire underneath
The sweetest silence
The cave you find is fortified
We felt some focus fade the line
[F] The sugar rush, the constant hush
The pushing of the water [Bb] gush
The marching band, we're never in [F] review
Bogus flying, [C] push your old Jim Jacob
With the tired, wiry, dandy [Bb] look
Here we go around, Barry
[F] And you're gonna show me Thank [Cm] you
