fig.1
You paint your own T.V. on the wall
fig.1
Carve out insects to feed us all
fig.1                                          A5
Lights flash by and the fast world echoes your    thoughts
      E5         D5         C5        B5
Your compass led you to the edge of a lake
E5                D5        C5           B5
You'll singe your nuts down there if you take
E5         D5            C5           B5
Such bad advice from the love gods of hate
           A5
You'll get    cold
                        E5   D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5      B5          E5       D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5      B5          E5      D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5      B5          A5
You get burned, you get cold
       E5          D5         C5         B5
On the plush green rug in the lime green light
E5        D5           C5       B5
Eyes like white stones in black light
  E5          D5   C5             B5
I promise you everything that you like
  A5
I go
E5 D5   C5   B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5   C5   B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5   C5   B5  A5
Mississippi kite

fig.1
Gloss assails us, then dims
fig.1
Comic book nights, L.A. grim
fig.1                                        A5
The Hollywood martians, lucky stiffs, fucking   win
    E5             D5              C5             B5
You told me enough times you can't give me enough rope
   E5          D5           C5           B5
To hang myself one time but I can always hope
         E5         D5      C5     B5        A5
You come down on me so hard that I choke and go
                        E5   D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5      B5          E5  D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5      B5          E5  D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5      B5          A5
You get burned, you get cold
    E5           D5        C5       B5
Meanwhile I feed you boric acid and air
E5           D5          C5       B5
Lemon drops, snow cream, speckled eggs
    E5          D5           C5            B5
The sweat seeps in through a crack in your head
        A5
And you go
E5 D5   C5   B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5   C5   B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5   C5   B5  A5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5   C5   B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5   C5   B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5   C5   B5
Mississippi kite

On the SPEEDBATH version there is a different intro and this is repeated
several times throughout the song, sometimes with slight variations.
(slides are sometimes audible)
