[Am]Sit back, [C]no song is written, [G]nothing you thought of your[Am]self.
[Am]It's just a ghost [C]that came unbidden to this [G]house. [Am]

>[F]This infection grows [Em]stronger every [Am]year,
>[F]this seed inside the [Em]water of your [Am]tear.

>[C]There is n[G]o escaping [F]it.[Em] [Am]

?[Am]This seed blooming [C]in the water of your [G]tear [Am]
?the [Am]way an unborn [C]baby's [G]ear unfolds in your [Am]belly.

?>[F]This infection grows [Em]stronger every [Am]year,
?>[F]this direction of a [Em]tear rolling [Am]down your cheek,

?>[C]there is no[G] escaping [F]i-[Em][Am]t
>[C]There is no[G] escaping
>th[F]e thing that is making its home in your radio.

[Am] [Em] [F] [Em] [G]

?[Am]Bless this tiny alley we have [C]fallen from tall buildings
?we have [Em]fallen through the air into a ga[F]rden sweetly s[G]melling of the

?[Am]softest sleeping flowers now they [C]sit under the sidewalk
?now they're [Em]waiting for the shining of some [F]future sun to [G]show us

?[Am]all that brings you beauty and [C]all that gives you pleasure
?I could [Em]sigh into your hide and say "I [F]hope I'm here for[G]ever

?but black [Am]sheep boy with your lovers with your [C]list of favorite pillows
?with your [Em]list of missing children with the [F]wall where you drew [G]windows

?over[Am]looking hidden gardens cut a[C]part by jagged mountains
?climbing [Em]up into the air and crumbling [F]down into [G]fountain

?where the [Am]water waits forever like a [C]quiet distant treasure
?when you [Em]rise up to recover when you [F]leave this tiny [G]alley

?when you [Am]meet me in the garden with your [C]horns all hung with cedar
?all these [Em]spirits brushing past me brushing [F]past them in the [G]ether

?screams 'all [Am]this is window dressing all you [C]are is flimsy curtains
?you will [Em]flame up with a word from us and [F]won't know that you're [G]burning.' "
