Verse I:

A minorAm                          C majorC
A augmentedA bright-night-kitchen moth and the washcloth that I use
C#C#   D(no5)
For the refuse
    Fmaj7Fmaj7         E minorEm
That is littering all of your clues
A minorAm             C majorC            C#C#    D(no5)
Orion is dead and gone but something in it still be-longs to me
  Fmaj7Fmaj7     E minorEm
The bright night I see
A minorAm
High hot-time all the braggarts drag
   C majorC           C#C#
Their boats down to the water
D(no5)
She dragged down to drown each and every
Fmaj7Fmaj7       E minorEm
Brown rag I bought her
A minorAm
The silverfish they ditch their skins as
  C majorC           C#C#
The Saturday air raid beg-ins
D(no5)
Pitching exoskeletons
Fmaj7Fmaj7       E minorEm
Revolting in their molting
A minorAm
Dont you know Im just like that?
C majorC               C#C#
You can tell where Ive been at
D(no5)
On every doormat I have sat
 Fmaj7Fmaj7    E minorEm
A augmentedA relic so an-gelic
DmDm
Oh the once hard-biting night
  D MajorD                Fmaj7Fmaj7 E minorEm
Now ruthlessly a toothless sight to see

Verse II:

A minorAm                      C majorC
A augmentedA shot down Telegraph with a hot laugh as we cruise
C#C#     D(no5)
Through the sinews
Fmaj7Fmaj7         E minorEm
Connecting all of your clues
A minorAm
The blinds they clap for the
      C majorC
The napping overheated tangles
D MajorD
Daytime may climb high until the dusk sucks out

All that it mangles
A minorAm
Melting with the blacktop moms
   C majorC           C#C#
On a bed of palms and psalms
D MajorD
Immersed in the universe
  Fmaj7Fmaj7       E minorEm
Of off-ramp proms and sitcoms
DmDm
Sylvan Lake and in between
D MajorD             Fmaj7Fmaj7
Perpetually like Halloween
   E minorEm
I saw you
A minorAm                C majorC
In the dormitory with the warming glory
       C#C#
Of the harvest
D MajorD
The pilings of the night are whiling out
      Fmaj7Fmaj7     E minorEm
Where their forms are the largest

FF
Feeling about half as vicious
E minorEm           A augmentedA
As all the silverfishes crawl
FF
If I truly am a coward
E minorEm
Memory-fueled and fear-powered
A augmentedA (A augmentedA) A/C#A/C#
Ill be damned

FF  E minorEm
But if I were
   C majorC    D MajorD
That gorgeous blur
DmDm E minorEm
Id be
A minorAm
Sure

Verse III:

A minorAm                          C majorC
A augmentedA bright-night-kitchen moth and the washcloth that I use
C#C#   D(no5)
For the refuse
    Fmaj7Fmaj7         E minorEm
That is littering all of your clues

A minorAm
Tripped up on the alley-weed
C majorC              C#C#
Through which I elbowed and kneed
  D MajorD
The bottle of my beer emptied
  Fmaj7Fmaj7     E minorEm
And I was warm and fluid
A minorAm
The body is a bottle, I guess
C majorC               C#C#
That I would like to throttle, yes
D MajorD
Mottled skin and spilling sin
   Fmaj7Fmaj7    E minorEm
And a holiness so stupid
  DmDm
The heaven that I long to see
  D MajorD
The undone linearity
  Fmaj7Fmaj7 E minorEm
Ive pro- ven
DmDm
Is all the love Ive tried to show
D MajorD
Buried where those buildings glow
  Fmaj7Fmaj7 E minorEm (Riff)
And ruined?
