Intro

Am G

(x4)

We were martyred in the homes of our friends

on a hard drinking decade of weekends

convinced that we were firing

our lasers to the surface of the moon

retreat to all the noise, out to the places that

we would go

pound that pussy, bloody swollen cyst off with a

weather-treated two by four

praying for the singularity

C G

coming for to carry you home

one-time hero forgotten how

C G

to carry your given load

F Am G Dm F

Hey, hey, Doris Day send my love for me now

F Am G

please, please, Glen Shirley, say hello for me now

Dm F Dm F Am G Am G

Chico the American taught me to drink clear

which ushered in the Age of Gin and lead to the Gimlet Years

When he lobbed that crystal tumbler through the glass cooler door

past the blues band in the strip mall with a barrel-chested roar

it was just as funny but less blood

C G

than the ‘62 Dakota war

praying for the singularity

C G

coming for to carry you home

F Am G Dm F

Hey, hey, Jon Benet send my love for me now

F Am G

please, please, Dom de Louise say hello for me now
