[Bb] [F]
Burn up with the water, the [Bb] floods around [F] the plains, all the planets in a row, [C] who knows
what they contain?
And [F] my brain is like an orchestra,
[Bb] playing on [F] insane, [C] we rush like you want me [Bb] in,
and you're [F] everywhere, mom and dad in violence, [Bb] on the [F] countryside, the needle stopped the
ticking, [C] clothespins on the floor, and my [F] heart is playing hide and seek, [Bb] the wait is
count to four, will you [C] love me like you loved me and I'll never ask you, [F]
what did you tell
me, Mary, when you were there so sweet and [F] very, from the fields and stalls you carried
all the time, oh [C] in the heavens when you looked at me, your eyes were like machinery, [Bb] your
hands were making [F] artifacts in the corner of my mind, [Bb] on the staring, on the crawling,
on the milling, machining, [F] on the downing, rings and better bones, marching ups and downs
and [Bb] we carried them, and smiling, she took dark [F] and bright, the falling butterflies,
the fighting tenderness, the [C] sweetest sad and the play, my mind is fortified, we felt them
constantly, [F] the lips should rush, the constant nudge, the pushing of the water, [Bb] blush, the
marching band, and the crawling, bugs flying, [C] pushy, all in a jiffy, with the tired, wiry,
friendly [Bb] look, and we go around Mary, [F] and you play the story book, we overcome the sirens,
we [Bb] look both left and [C] right, [F] and I can feel [D] the numbness, [C] accompany my cry, and I know
[F] that someday soon, I'll see you, [Bb] but now you're out of [F] sight, and you'll kiss [C] me, like you
used to [Am] in the [Bb] January [F] night, [C]

what did you tell me Mary, when you were [F] there so sweet
and very, full of fields and stalls you carried all the time, oh in [C] the heavens when you looked
at me, your eyes were like machinery, your [Bb] hands were making artifacts in the [F] corner of my mind,
I'm [Bb] on a staring, on a crawling, moon machine, [F] and all the diamond rings, and the marching
hips, and now [Bb] to the dark, and planning, high and smiling, she took dark [F] and bright, the
falling butterflies, the fighting tenderness, the [C] sweetest sad and the play, my mind is fortified,
we felt and felt, the strangle and the sugar rush, the constant rush, the pushing of the
water [Bb] gush, the marching band, running through a [F] ramble, rugs flying, [C] push your way, she
didn't take the whip, the tired, wiry, friendly [Bb] look, and we go around Mary, and you play the story book.
