[Verse 1]
AmPale horse songs of a slow decline
FSideshow words if the songs don't mind
CG-d gave Noah the rainbow sign
FNo more water, is the H-Bomb next time?
AmPale horse vows in a grave I-do-yes-definitely reply
FSmile for the camera at a 'church' nearby
CThrew a mute curse at the Boise sky
For my Ffucked up Napoleon-of-St.-Helena-hairline
AmBlack horse leaping when the frogs withdrew
The Fparable of the plums where the olives grew
CClouded rearrangement of sounds we knew:
An FIdaho sunset for my own private Waterloo
AmPale horse songs of a slow decline
FSide show words if our moms don't mind:
CCloud gave no one a rainbow sign--
FSix-point starred ink flag next time?

[Verse 3]
With imAmperial crowns we were 'sent'
Riding out Fconquest-bent
Daylight is breaking
CWielding the sanctified sword
For the army of the FScarecrow Lord
Daylight is breaking
AmBalancing scales at our feet
Measuring out Ftwo pounds of barley, six pounds of buckwheat
CBeasts of the Battersea Shield
At the opening of the Ffourth seal
The Amsky, I'd been told
Would roll up like a scroll
As the Fmountains and islands moved from their place
And the Csun would turn black
As a dead raven's back
But there's Fnowhere to hide
From the Judge's face
After which Ammessage-less birds take flight without cause
To the Fsilence they've heard in the absence of laws
Or Cimperial crowns: Unsent, unsigned C F
[Verse 4]
AmThe other night I dreamt I was finally out of college
In my Fown pair of sandals, I had turned into my father
CWhistling our tune about the Rio Grande
Like an Fanchorite in June I took hold of my own hand
And Amstarted on the Abrahamic joke we knew
About Fapostrophes and pronouns and you-remember-who
"But let's Ckeep that silly punchline between me and you
FLittle Haroon
And the man in the moon."Am
[Outro] (one strum per chord)
