[C] [G] [F]
[Cm] [G] [Dm] [Am]
[C] Upside [G] down and inside [Dm] out, a [F] memory like a funnel web, like a black fly on [C] the seam.
[C] backwards across
[C] down, [G] over the shops and the cars and the crowds
[C] And [G] this is the moment, [F] this is [Am] exactly what she was born to be.
[C] This is what she [G] does and [F] this is what she is.

[C] Upside [G] down and inside [Dm] out, a [F] memory like a funnel web, like a black fly on [C] the seam.
[G] Skinny white [Am] haunches high and skyward in a black oily gash, crawling [C] backwards across
the carpet to smash all [F] over everything.
Wet black fur against the sun going [C] down, [G] over the shops and the cars and the crowds
and the town.
[C] And [G] this is the moment, [F] this is [Am] exactly what she was born to be. _ _

[F] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Her _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] eyes [G] that look at me [F] through her rainy [Am] hair, two round holes where the air buckles
[C] and rushes in.
Her [G] body moon [F] blue as a jellyfish.
And I'm breathing deep and I'm there and I'm also not there.
[G] I'm spurting [F] ink over the [Am] sheets but she remains completely [C] unexplained.
Or maybe I'm just too tongue tied to drink it [G] up and swallow back the pain.
[F] I thought slavery had been abolished, how [E] come it's gone and her head is ugly head again. _
[C] _ [G] And this [F] is the moment, [Am] this is exactly what she was born to be. _
[C] And this is [G] what she [F] does and this is what she is. _ _ _

[C] And this is the moment, this is [G] exactly what she was born to be. _
[F] And this is what she does and [Am] this is what she is. _ _
[C] Now [G] she's jumping up [F] with her leaping [Am] brain, stepping over heaps of sleeping children,
[C] disappearing and further [G] up and [F] spinning out again.
Up and further up she goes, up and [C] out of the bed, up and out [G] of the bed
and [F] down the hall [Am] where she stops for a moment and turns and says,
are [C] you still here?
And [G] then reaches [F] high and dangles herself like a child's dream [C] from the room of sorrow.
