Standard (EADGBE)

Wont you lend your lungs to me

Mine are collapsing

Plant my feet and bitterly

Breathe up the time that's passing

Breath I'll give and breath I'll take

And pray the day's not poison

Stand among the ones that live

In lonely indecision

The rest of the verses follow the same progression with variations/ repetitions of

the intro in between them.

Fingers walk the darkness down

Mind is on the midnight

Gather up the gold you've found

You fool it's only moonlight

And if you try to take it home

Your hands'll turn to butter

Better leave this dream alone

Try to find another

Salvation sat and crossed herself

And called the devil partner

Wisdom burned upon a shelf

Who'll kill the raging cancer?

Seal the river at its mouth

Take the water prisoner

Fill the sky with screams and cries

Bathe in fiery answer

Jesus was an only son

Love his only concept

Strangers cry in foreign tongues

And dirty up the doorstep

And I for one and you for two

Ain't got the time for outside

Just keep your injured looks to you

We'll tell the world we tried
