Standard (EADGBE)

 Crude little wooden idols and aviator shades

 The trinkets and the treasures we brought back from the crusades

 Some guy in an Impala shakes his head when he rides by

 But I remember when we shared a vision, you and I

 Worked hard to build this altar we made it earn its keep

 The cracks across its surface spiderweb while we're asleep

 The sacrificial stains all spread out and soaking through

 But I remember when we kept it pretty, me and you

And high above the water

the eagle spots the fish

Every martyr in this jungle is gonna get his wish

Stockshots, stupid stockshots from the Pamona mall

 Set up like unloved icons gathering dust up on the wall

 From films no one remembers they call down silently

 But I remember when their names were dear to you and me

Pennies on the dollar everything's gotta go

 The things that we can't even give away I don't wanna know

Try to see if secrets burn when you hold them up into the light

I remember when we loved each other day and night

And high above the water

the eagle spots the fish

Every martyr in this jungle is gonna get his wish
