[A]
Oh, oh, oh, brother totem pole I saw your legends lined up and I never felt more [Bm] natural
Part, [F#m] [G#m] I just can't [Bm]
[F#m] Part, [A] please, please, please, sister Socrates
You always answer with a question Show some kindness to a petty [Bm] thief
[F#m] Forgive, [G#m] you did, [Bm]
[F#m] forgive And [D] watch the migrants smoke [E] in the old orange
grove [A] And the red rocket blaze [D] over Cape Canaveral
You've been a father to me, you're [E] 1960s [A] speak Give me comatose joy like [D] we run TV
While [Bm] the mountainside was shining, wild colors of [A] my destiny
I [Bm] watched your face age backwards, changing [F#m] shape in [A] my memory
You [Bm] taught me victory sweet, weaving deep in [A] the cheap seeds
[Bm] [F#m] [Bm] [D]
[F#m] [A] Hey, hey, hey, mother interstate Can you deliver me from evil?
Make me honest, make me [Bm] wedding cake
[F#m] I told them [Bm] I will [F#m] Wait, [A] wait, wait, mighty outer space
All that flying saucer terror made me lazy drinking [Bm] lemonade
[F#m] Waste, [Bm] you just went [F#m] to waste [D] Like the free on the [E] cold out the hotel [A] door
Or the white rocket [D] fade over Cape Canaveral
You've been a daughter to me, [E] you're buried shoebox grief
[A] I felt your poltergeist [D] love like Savannah heat
[Bm] While the waterfall was pouring crazy symbols of my [A] destiny
I [Bm] watched your face die backwards, little baby in my [A] memory
You [Bm] taught me victory sweet, weaving deep in the cheap [A] seeds
[D] And you [F#m] don't judge me, [D] that's not [E] your style
[D] But I [F#m] wanna see you [C#m] for a little while
[F#]
[D] And there's [F#m] no worries, oh [D] lord, who's [C#m] got time?
[D] Are [F#m] these changes gonna [E] fill your mind?
[D] Like the citrus glow [E] off the old orange grove
[A] Or the red rocket blaze [D] over Cape Canaveral
It's been a nightmare for me, some [E] 1980s greed
[A] Gives me parachute dreams [D] like old war movies
While [Bm] the universe was drawn perfect circles for infinity
[A] I [Bm] watched the stars kiss smaller tiny diamonds in my [A] memory
[F#m] [A] I [Bm] know that victory's sweet, weaving deep in the cheap [A] seeds
Oh, oh, oh, brother totem pole I saw your legends lined up and I never felt more [Bm] natural
Part, [F#m] [G#m] I just can't [Bm]
