Jinxed things ringing as they leak Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk. Scarecrow now it’s time to hatch Sprouting sons and ageless daughters. Those watermelon smiles just can’t ripen underwater Just can’t ripen underwater The men all played along to marching drums And boy did they have fun behind the sea They sang “so our matching legs are marching clocks And we’re all too small to talk to god Yes we’re all too smart to talk to god Yes we’re all too smart to talk to god" ----------------------------------------------------------- 12.) folkin’ around                         (close guess of chords at beginning Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two Where summer’s lasted longer than Longer than we do When nothing really mattered Except for me to be with you But in time we all forgot and We all grew Your melody sounds as sweet As the first time it was sung With a little bit more character for show And by the time your father’s heard Of all the wrong you’ve done Then I’m putting out the lantern Find your own way back home If I’ve forgotten how to sing Before I’ve sung this song I’ll write it all across this wall Before my job is done And I’ll even have the courtesy Of admitting I was wrong As the final words before I’m dead and gone You’ve never been so divine In accepting your defeat And I’ve never been more scared to be alone If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep Then I’m putting out the lantern Find your own way back home ------------------------------------------------------- 13.) she had the world       /             /       She held the world upon a string But she didn’t ever hold me Spun the stars on her fingernails But it never made her happy Cause she couldn’t ever have me      Bm#                  E She said she won the world at a carnival But she could never win me Cause she couldn’t ever catch me I I know why         Faug                    Because when I look in her eyes I just see the sky   When I look in her eyes Well I just see the sky I don’t love you I’m just passing the time You could love me if I knew how to lie But who could love me?

Don’t you remember when I was a bird and you were a map? Now he drags down miles in America briefcase in hand. The stove is creeping up his spine again can’t get enough trash.           He took the days for pageant Became as mad as rabbits With bushels of bad habits Who could ask for anymore? Yea who could have more. (play intro) His arms were the branches of a Christmas tree preached the devil in the belfry. He checked in to learn his clothes had been thieved at the train station. Rope hung his other branch and at the end was a dog called bambi Who was chewing on his parliaments when he tried to save the calendar business. he tried to save the calendar business. He took the days for pageant Became as mad as rabbits With bushels of bad habits Who could ask for anymore? Yea who could have more. (play intro)             The poor son of a humble chimney sweep fell to a cheap crowd So stay asleep and put on that cursive type you know we live in a toy. Paul Cates bought himself a trumpet from the salvation army But there ain’t no sunshine in his song We must reinvent love. reinvent love. reinvent love.   He took the days for pageant Became as mad as rabbits With bushels of bad habits Who could ask for anymore? Yea who could have more. We must reinvent love. reinvent love. reinvent love.
