Play Me Chords
You can drag me by the heels
All the way from here and there...
You can sandwich what you feel
Inside the confines of your lair...
Shoving money up loose cracks...
Prepping bags for future vaults...
...But there's something so elusive
Making chimes a nighttime waltz
And the boy with brown skin knows it,
While the girl he's courting comes...
To be swallowed in the darkness
Where their cosmic pining runs...
Play me chords to ride tomorrow
When night glass is lashed by rain!...
Play me chords that defeat sorrow
And remove the heavy strain
Of this burden, and it's cousins
With their multitude of gills
That deprive a man of breathing
'til he's free of earthly ills...
You can send your thugs of torment
To come down upon my head...
You can summon me to trial,
Taking care my rights are read...
All the legions of your lesions
Only manifest in droves....
...They'll return whipped to a foment
That will massacre your pose...
Look no further to the future...
There's a testament that's right
Opened, as it floats by sunset
Level with the birds in flight...
Play me chords to wear tomorrow
When night glass is lashed by rain!...
Play me chords that defeat sorrow
And remove the heavy strain
Of this burden, and it's cousins
With their multitude of ills
That deprive a person passage
By catastrophe and spills...
As all prophesies play out
From the teensy to the tall
We are led to this arena
Where set dominoes may fall,
But the guards they've got patrolling
Fall to spells from time to time...
...We will rise, and make a motion
As the pregnant sun declines...
We just need a toothy soundtrack
That can gather fallen toys...
It requires an alliance
With our earthly flesh and void...
Play me chords to wear tomorrow
When night glass is lashed by rain!...
Play me chords that defeat sorrow
And remove the heavy strain
Of this burden, and it's cousins
With their multitude of ills
That exhaust a woman's breathing
'til she's free of earthly ills...
