the sleeping bags on fire and its getting down to the wire so grab a sofa spot and settle down awhile cause its getting hard to think and my clothes are starting to shrink and the moon is sagging down like a metal ball and the world is a holiday smoking in an old ashtray they just blow it out their nose and say ok so lets try to make this last the past is still the past and tomorrow is just another crazy scam (repeat first verse) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3.

Burnt Orange Peel

^BI'm on the run with things to be (we're on the road/we're on the run) I've got a garden hose and a color tv I've got t^A#ime o^F#n my h^Bands I've got t^A#ime o^F#n my h^Bands ^ENobody cares^G# ^Bwhat I do

I'm on the run with things to do (we're on the road/long ago) I've got a burnt orange peel and a potato stew I've got work to get done I've got work to get done Nobody knows where to run (up 1/2 step) I've got a quart of milk and some sound advice I've got But they smell so nice Don't give me the flu Nobody knows I'm with you (up 1/2 step) Back and forth I dodge a fly Like a feather in the sky Write me out a check Give me all your cash Nobody knows, so let's just go home ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5. CYANIDE BREATH MINT Tune guitar down one full step

^A Definitel^Fy, this is the w^Drong place to ^Gbe there's b^Flood on the f^Cuton, there's a k^Eid drinkin' f^Aire. Goin' down to the s^Fea, they got p^Deople to m^Geet, shakin' h^Fands with thems^Celves,

lookin' o^Eut for thems^Felves. ^Gb ^C When they a^Fsk you for c^Gredit, g^Five them a b^Cranch. ^C When they w^Fant you to g^Get it, c^Fhew on the g^Crass. I k^Enow, I k^Fnow 'cause they t^Dold me to t^Gell you there's no^Fthing to t^Cell you, there's no^Ething to s^Aell you.

In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat, burning equipment, decomposing. Cool off your jets, take off your sweats, I got a funny feeling they got plastic in the afterlife. When they want you to cry, leap into the sky. When they suck your mind, like a pigeon you fly. I know, I know, it's the positive people running from their time looking for some feeling. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6.

Don't get drunk don't get dry just bring your money next Saturday night. Forty miles on a cattle trail with a happy mule and nothing on my mind all my life I've been talking fast taking all the things that I should have let pass. Throw my hat on a coffee mill put another brick in the fire place. Well I don't know about you or me but some got loose back on down. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 11. ASSHOLE tune guitar down 1 1/2 steps (C E A)4x

CHORUS

^FShe'll do anything ^EShe'll do anything ^AShe'll do anyth^Cing to make you feel like an asshole

Call her name, she looks the same as you question mark stretched across the skin She dangles carrots, makes you feel embarrassed to be the fool you know you are (Chorus) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 13. I'VE SEEN THE LAND BEYOND tune down 1/2 step

^FFrom these shores where we belong I have s^Ceen the land b^Feyond

Where the lord is strange and strong

I have s^Ceen the land b^Feyond There's no ^Bbtelling who'll be d^Fead When the p^Cale horse is turning ^Fred And their t^Bbongues will burn in v^Fain And everyt^Ching will feel the s^Fame

There's no patience there's no peace I have seen the land beyond Where the gravestones never cease I have seen the land beyond Through the troubles of the years A heavenly apparition appears And we're haunted by our own minds And the spirit calls in the skies From these shores where we belong I have seen the land beyond I'll be there and I'll be gone I have seen the land beyond ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 13.

GIRLS DREAMS tune guitar down 1 1/2 steps

You're just the g^Airl of my dr^Ceams But it s^Geems my dr^F#eams never c^Come t^Drue ^G

^AI wake up and look upon your p^Eainted eyelids The w^F#orld is your oyster and the ^E7trash bags are your kids The c^Aeiling is invisible there's a b^Eird sinkin thru the sky ^F#And every hour that passes is t^E7eachin me how to cry Cuz it's l^D7onely here in the u^Agly part of town The b^B7uildings are all vacant and the t^E7elephones are down

There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own (Harmonica solo over A-E-F#-E7) So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream

that ever drifted ^Aby ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 16. ATMOSPHERIC CONDIDTIONS

^DThere's nob^Eody there's no mo^Guntain there's no tunnel you can't get from there to ^Dhere you can't g^Eet from here to t^Ghere

(repeat) There hasn't been a change in the atmosphere (nothing twisted round, burning down, come around) There hasn't been a change for over a year (sliding through the water through hiding you) There hasn't been a change in the atmosphere (shut it up, roll it up, find a new)
