about

GUITAR: DADGBE NO CAPO

lyrics

DROP ME SLOW
DOWN WHERE THE ANGELS GLOW
WHERE THE BIG FISH GLIDE
WITH THEIR BIG DISH EYES
AND THEIR TEETH LIKE KNIVES
THEY CAN PICK MY BONES UNTIL THEY SHINE

LET ME GO
WHERE NO OTHER LIFE CAN GO
WHERE THE DEAD THINGS FALL
AND THE BLIND THINGS CRAWL
AND THE BIG THINGS CALL
THEY CAN SING IT OUT UNTIL THE RISING TIME

THE SUN CAN SMILE, THE MOON CAN SMILE
EVERYBODY ON THE WHOLE DAMN STREET CAN SMILE
I'M GOING DOWN THAT MURKY MILE
WHERE THERE AIN'T NO SMILES TO SEE

OH LET ME LIE
DOWN WHERE THE MONSTERS FLY
WHERE THERE AIN'T NO DAWN
WHERE THE MOON WAS BORN
WHERE THE NIGHTMARES SPAWN
THEY CAN SWIM AROUND IN THIS OLD SKULL OF MINE

THE STARS CAN CRY, THE LEAVES CAN CRY
EVERY DAMN WINDOW ON THE STREET CAN CRY
I'M GOING DOWN WHERE THE OLD WRECKS LIE
THEY WON'T WEEP NOR CRY FOR ME

SO DROP ME SLOW
DOWN WHERE THE ANGELS GLOW
WHERE THE BIG FISH GLIDE
WITH THEIR BIG DISH EYES
AND THEIR TEETH LIKE KNIVES
THEY CAN PICK MY BONES UNTIL THEY SHINE.
