Hairshirt

I am not the type of dog

That could keep you waiting

For no good reason

Run a carbon-black test on my jaw

And you will find it's all been said before

G A7 I can swing my Cmegaphone and long arm tAmhe rest

Am It's easier and better

C TCo just beat it from the chest

Of desire G

I could walk into this room

And the waves of conversation are enough

To knock you down in the undertow

So alone so alone in my life

Feed me banks of light

And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung

It's a beautiful life

And I can hang my hairshirt

Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest

Or bury it at sea

All my life I've searched for this

Here I am here I am in your life

It's a beautiful life

My life

It's a beautiful life

Your life

(Untitled) - Pieces printed in the 1988 fan club holiday card

C This world is big and so-awake

G I stayed up latCe to hear your voice

C This light is here to keep you warm

G This song is here to keep you strong

I made a list of things to say

But all I really want to say

All I really want to say is

Hold her and keep him strong

While I'm away from here

Hold her and keep her strong

While I'm away from here
