Lyrics from http://www.hairnet-paradise.com
G
Now that I’m alone I feel the lonely brokeness
D
Of all the wicked avenues I’ve ever sold my love on
Em
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
D
In the outright abandon of this orphan child
G
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace
D
I guess I’m waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse
Em
And to wake up half empty
D
Only to be filled again with mourning
G
He’s my evil shadow dove
D
My black Palamito Can’t break him like a diamond skull
Em
I can’t seem to do so Can’t just rob him out like the
D
mob used to do so Like memories of porno and tearstains
G
and tobacco O its a miny disastro
D
Bigger than the ice age don’t know if baby dinosaurs
Em
Maybe could live through it, or indians and butterflies
D
What’s crushed is my spirit, O I fear it is too fragile
Like fall leaves burn like paper
G D
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
Em
No one would understand me
D
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals
G D
Spend all my time amongst the animals
Em D
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals
G
Oh I’m just a fill leaf something simple and shy like that
D
That’s how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk
Em
Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons
D
I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul
G
His name still lingers maybe lactates on my tongue
D
Perhaps I’m just teel him for a foreign fallen destiny
Em D
Miserable but mine I look like his mother
G
Or Sophia Loren in a old fashioned movie
D
Slow motion motion I cling to my child desperate for love
Em D
On day soon my brother died made me remember all the
Subordinate feelings I cast aside
G
Maybe I had lied when I said I was ok
D
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say
Em
“Wild willow, windy winter won’t you blow through me
D
My who eternity”
G D
I always knew I would spend a lot of time alone
Em
No one would understand me
D
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals
G D
Spend all my time amongst the animals
Em D
And on the tracks I would go they lead to the sea
To be amongst the animals
