On Avery Island Album

And the first one tore a picture Of a dead and hanging man Who was kissing foreign fishes That flew right out from his hands And when I put my arms around him Felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks And an eerieness surrounded When his tongue began to speak And he said, "Oh, boy, you are so pretty, Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string" And when I finally kissed him The whole world began to ring Lost like a bell that's tipping over With two cracks along both sides And I knew the world was over So I took a look outside And watched the fires that were reaching Up to the weather vanes and the tops of trees And the waiting scene and the Sunday dream - They're all waiting here for me Deli markets with their flower stands Their pretty girls and their burning men Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays And I took out my tongue, twice removed from my face Across a bridge and across the mountains Threw a nickel in the fountain To save my soul from all these troubled times And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take to soothe my mind So I'm always sober Always aching Always heading towards Mass suicide, occult figurines And wasted gas-station attendants Attending to their jobs And a nice drive in the country Finds a nice cliff to drop off Oh, when this life just gets so grating All the grittiness of life But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you You're too wonderful to die And the last one tore a picture From the pornographic page And all the pleasure points attacking All the looks of love were staged And it's a lie that you've been given That just hurts you every day So why should I lie here naked When it's just too far away From anything we could call loving - Any love worth living for? So I'll sleep out in the gutter You can sleep here on the floor And when I wake up in the morning I won't forget to lock the door 'Cause with a match that's mean and some gasoline You won't see me anymore ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You've Passed (thanks to Liam Fletcher) Use a Capo on the 1st fret to make this easier Intro

to fade But I gave everything to A lie and a farce and a fake Always in life we all must make this mistake And so I go it alone And the pressure is great I hold on to my own Oh please oh don't go away I'd like to see you when all of these angry days blow away ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone Is Waiting Someone is waiting To swallow all the halos out of you As your face blows through my windows Sending pieces flying all around the room And I love you, and I want to Shoot all the superheroes from your skies Watch them bleeding from your ceiling As their empty anger falls out from their eyes All alone... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Baby For Pree Blistering Pree, all smiling and swollen Makes babies to breathe, with their hearts hanging open All over the sheets, as soft as beets in some brown Dresser drawer And with bees in her breath and the rest of her ringing, they'll Sting through her chest with a force hard and beating till Wonderfully wet she will get until she's soaked inside Her clothes, and there is no sorry to be sorry for For a roll around the floor Some afternoon so sound and soft It made her swallow all her sweat With every bit of breath she coughed And when the day it came to pour All her babies all across the bathroom floor She will be swimming in them all forever more ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marching Theme is the main chord in this song. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where You'll Find Me Now All I perceive is wasted and broken Silvery streams, sacred when spoken Slam into me and into the ditch of debris And you smoke in the park and sleep in the greenery Everyone barks and they are all still believing To tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me But I let you down And swollen and small is where you'll find me now With that silver stripping off From my tongue you're tearing out And you'll never hear me talk Your teeth believe that teeth are for tearing Tear into me and the scent of you sweating Smells good to me As long as we keep in our clothes And out in the dark the world is still rolling Kids in their cars, cigarette smoking And all that they are just reeks with the sweetest belief But I let you down And swollen and small is where you'll find me now With that silver stripping off My tongue you're tearing out And you'll never hear me talk And all I could want is silver and spinning Out from your arms and into the pretty Pit of your heart, so simply and softly we'd flow But I let you down And swollen and small is where you'll find me now With that silver stripping off My tongue you're tearing out And you'll never hear me talk, Glow Into you I will glow Into you ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Avery

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gardenhead / Leave Me Alone There are beads that wrap Around your knees that crackle into the dark Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead, this time We ride roller coasters into the ocean We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world And I guess it's worth your time Because there's some lives you live And some you leave behind It gets hard to explain The gardenhead knows my name Leave me alone For you know this isn't the first time In fact this is twice in a row That the angels have slipped through our landslide And filled up our garden with snow And I don't wish the taste of your insides Or to call out your name through my phone For the glory boys at your bedside Will love you as long as your something to love Will love you as long as your something to love Follow me through The city of frost covered angels I swear I have nothing to prove I just want to dance in your tangles To give me some reason to move Or to take on the world at all angles Requires a strength I can use So I'll meet you up high in your anger Of all that is hoping and waiting for you Of all that is hoping and waiting for you ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three Peaches (thanks to HipsterDoucheba) There is no dream So wake up run your lips across your fingers till you find Some scent of yourself that you can hold up high To remind yourself that you didn't die On a day that was so crappy whole and happy you're alive And you seem so bruised and it's beautiful As it's reflecting off from you as it shines And you're in the bathroom carving holiday designs into yourself Hoping no one will find you but they found you And they took you And you somehow survived There is no dream So wake up and if the holidays don't hollow out your eyes Then press yourself against whatever you find To be beautiful and trembling with life Because I'm so happy I'm so happy I'm so happy I'm so happy That you didn't die ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naomi Your prettiness is seeping through Out from the dress I took from you, so pretty And my emptiness is swollen shut Always a wretch i have become So empty Please don't leave me I'm watching Naomi, full bloom I'm hoping she will soon explode Into one billion tastes and tunes One billion angels come and Hold her down They could hold her down Until she cries I'm tasting Naomi's perfume It tastes like shit and I must say She comes and goes most afternoons One billion lovers wave and love her now They could love her now and so could I There is no Naomi in view She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls And if she only really knew One billion angels could come and save her soul They could save her soul until she shines Until she shines Until she shines Until she shines So pretty So pretty So pretty So pretty And please, please don't leave me ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 8th (Thanks to Liam Fletcher) e|---------------------------------|

E|---------------------------------| Crawl across toward your window I'm calling softly from the street Always a lonely widow Half awake and sleeping on my feet I'm of age but have no children No quarter phone booth calls to home Just late television Inside my bedroom all alone There is no use in waiting Offer up your steps so I can climb Show me all your figure paintings Etched in the middle of the night Let me stretch upon your carpet Let me hear the rain tap on your street Knowing I am safe on the inside Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep
