[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[C]Baby's ball

[Verse 1]
[G]all blood
[C]red of flayed [G]pigs
And silk [C]soft little [G]things
Fill a [C]house hung from [G]strings
And I [D]fly out on my silver,
[C]scissor[G]ing wings
(with the [D]other sardines)
Over [C]cities of [G]things
mom[C]mies need
Light as [D]gas, and [C]half-assedly [G]free,
Like I [D]was in nine[C]teen [G]ninety three.
[C]Over the ru

[Verse 2]
[G]ins like we're
[C]staggering [G]apes.
What we [C]get is what we [G]take
In a [D]split open place where
[C]a man can [G]get kinged
In a [D]palace of [C]panic and [G]flames
Where [C]nobody gets [G]blamed
By [D]the tired, and [C]broke down, [G]an d beat.
In sunken [D]gardens where
[C]there was a [G]street.

[Verse 3]
[G]
[C]West over wa[G]ter I [C]rambled and [G]paced,
And [C]the blood river [G]raced like
[C]the sweat down my [G]face.
And the [D]stadium roared.
And [C]the warriors em[G]braced.
And the [D]golden shore groaned
Beneath the [C]weight of my [G]tastes.
And I [C]blazed
In the [D]last orange [C]hours of the [G]day,
Until the [D]dust hazed and [C]hid us [G]away.

[Verse 4]
[G]So, little [C]baby, be [G]brave.
I see [C]your dad riding [G]over the [D]rise,
[Bm][D]
Crashing his [C]whole caval[G]cade
through [C]the crowd.
Watch them [G]run on all [D]sides.

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][D][C][G][C][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 5]
And the neon white [G]branches,
And the carrion fly
On a con[C]gressman's [G]eye
I have [D]wrapped up for you in
some [C]old autumn [G]leaves,
And left [D]under a rock out on
Rock[C]-Rockaway Beach,
[G]Beach,
Beneath the trees.
[C]

[Verse 6]
I [D]have laughed my best hiss to the
[C]whistling [G]breeze.
There's a [D]hole in my throat.
You can [C]note my last [G]wheeze
if you [C]need.
And then take [D]hold of the [C]rope
Down [G]we scream.

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G]
