AStyrofoam cup of mud in my goodAb* hanAb*d,
ADisembodied voice of God in the trash can
EEyes in the ashes, feeling for the future
ESleeping through the stakeout, researching the rumor.
AA mile, a motor, a mattress, a meAb*moryAb*
AFirst you were embarassed, but how could you not be,
ETangled in teenage, her mom at the EbmovEbies,
EYour voice ran out out of words,
It was awkward and hC#*oly. F# F# B A B A
AGospel in your belly, the ache a little lower,
ABack into the breach, you spoke as it's owner.
EA syndicated sermon you sang from the rafters
EAn Anchor in you pocket, holding down the laughter.
ATearing up your mind, your lust and your ego,
AA screenshot reminder to speed your libido,
EThe parish grows to jelly, blissful and wasted,
E C#* F#F# B A B A
Your Vishnu eye slips open, them pictures of you naked

ABrother, can you spare your alms or your arrows?
AThunder clap's arising, I think that I should go
EHome to the basement back on Jumel Street
E1996 and your waiting there to tell me,
AI didn't die, you dreamt it, you dreamt it,
AI'm as alive as your best good intentions.
ESorry that I tricked you, you had to focus
E C#* F#F# B A B A
Put yourself together, clear out the garbage.
