VERSE:

Captain Video

And his Video Rangers

Drowned on kineoscopes

The bottom of the river

I hear a trumpet blowing Taps

From the Veterans Affairs

And I can’t tell from here if it’s real,

VERSE:

On the wrong side of town

Shouting down the new year

Under dying stars whose

Light is just getting here

All the bars are closed

But I got some

Rosemary-infused Everclear

And I’m looking for a place that’s quiet,

D D

Empty, warm and isn’t here

CHORUS/OUTRO:

Am7 Am

I just want to speak the truth

I have not been able to.

G G A G G G G G G G

I have not been able to-oo.
