Burn and Shine
     G#m  F#Burn and Eshine, son
     G#mAnd F#keep your Espirit clean
     G#mFor F#this is Enot
     A dress reG#mhersaF#lEb  
Junior Phoenix
With your ash-filled eyes
Who will harbor
Your misfortune
Your G#mmother says your D#father says
He Bdoes not want to tEell you
As G#mif he F#didn't Eknow you
Behind the lighthouse
There's still the hole you made
Better fill it in
Or it will get you
So talcum powder
Is now your closest friend
Smooth and white
And ordinary
Your father says your mother says
She does not want to tell you
As if she didn't know you
BAnd in the dream everyC#one is holding hands
in a Ecircle and you F#heal
Do you remember
The taste of pemmican?
Then say hello
To Hiawatha
She's still frowning
At your puffy face
Overweight
And barely breathing?
No one ever said a word
They did not want to tell you
As if they didn't know you
As if they didn't know you
As if they didn't know you
Burn and shine
You burn and shine...
