havoc on a      yellow skateboard

         through midday sidewalk

Just when I think he's

999900

foolish and childish

777777

       and I want him to be

Additional verses:

He keeps referring back to school days
And clinging to his child
Fidgeting and bullied
His crazy wisdom holding onto somthing wild
He asked me to be patient
Well I failed
"Grow up!" I cried
And as the smoke was clearing, he said
"Give me one good reason why!"
What a strange, strange boy
He sees the cars as sets of waves
Sequences of mass and space
He sees the damage in my face

We got high on travel
And we got drunk on alcohol
And on love the strongest poison and medicine of all
See how that feeling comes and goes
Like the pull of moon on tides
Now I am surf rising
Now parched ribs of sand at his side
What a strange, strange boy
I gave him clothes and jewelry
I gave him my warm body
I gave him power over me

Chord diagramA augmentedA thousand glass eyes were staring
In a cellar full of antique dolls
I found an old piano
And sweet chords rose up in waxed New England halls
While the borders were snoring
Under crisp white sheets of curfew


        ||||||
        557755
        ||||||
We were newly lovers then   We were


||||||
555555
||||||
fire in the stiff-blue-haired


||||||
099990
||||||
house rules


||||||   ||||||   ||||||   ||||||
999900   777777   557755   555555
