[Verse 2]
Vibrations rose in Gwaves
From a sea of discoDntent
Dad used to talk about for Gdays

Your carcass on the Gground
Brought vultures to their Deyes
My frontal lobe is shutting Gdown
I bet you hear it all the Dtime
[Verse 5]
DTo which shepherd’s Gfield did which angels deDscend?
Or is blessedness reGvealed to those of us who best prDetend?
Some counterfeit idGeas form ideas all their Down
I watched them spread for Gyears to my unsuspecting Dbones
And the nights my heart was Gtired you sang your saccharine Dsong
But when your mouth was Gquiet was the sweetest sound of Dall
"Soon our ransomed Gsouls will leave this age Dbehind
For streets of solid Ggold", I hear it all the Dtime
[Bridge]
DOn a West Virginia Groad
DOn a West Virginia Groad
DOn a West Virginia Groad
CI Gdid just as I was Dtold
[I did just as I was told...]

[Verse 1]

D G

To which shepherd’s field

Did which angels descend?

And what’s this about eternal non-existence at the end?

D G

A stranger’s face appeared—

They say he lost his mind

(Or too much found his mind?)

I hear it all the time

[Verse 2]

Vibrations rose in waves

From a sea of discontent

Dad used to talk about for days

I finally tasted what he meant

Your carcass on the ground

Brought vultures to their eyes

My frontal lobe is shutting down

I bet you hear it all the time

[Verse 5]

D G D

To which shepherd’s field did which angels descend?

G D

Or is blessedness revealed to those of us who best pretend?

G D

Some counterfeit ideas form ideas all their own

G D

I watched them spread for years to my unsuspecting bones

G D

And the nights my heart was tired you sang your saccharine song

G D

But when your mouth was quiet was the sweetest sound of all

G D

"Soon our ransomed souls will leave this age behind

G D

For streets of solid gold", I hear it all the time
