Fmi Cmi
Where in hell can you go
C# As
far from the things that you know,
C# As
far from the sprawl of concrete
C# Es
that keeps crawling its way
Fmi
about a thousand miles a day?
Cmi
Take one last look behind,
C# As
commit this to memory and mind.
C#
Don’t miss this wasteland
As Es
this terrible place, when you leave
Fmi
keep your heart off your sleeve.
As Es C#
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes,
As
lullaby me to sleep.
C# As
Keep me safe, lie with me,
Es
stay beside me, don’t go,
Fmi
don’t you go.
Fmi Cmi
Oh, my five & dime queen
C# As
tell me what have you seen?
C#
The lust and the avarice
As Es
the bottomless, the cavernous greed
Fmi
is that what you see?
As Es C#
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes,
As
lullaby me to sleep.
C# As
Keep me safe, lie with me,
Emi
stay beside me, don’t go.
C#
It’s your happiness,
As
I want most of all
C# B Es
and for that I’d do anything at all
Oh mercy me!
C#
If you want the best of it,
As
or the most of all
C# B Es
if there’s anything I can do at all.
Fmi Cmi
Now come on shot-gun bride,
C# As
what makes me envy your life
C# As
Faceless, nameless, innocent
Es
blameless, and free,
Fmi
what’s that like to be?
As Es C#
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes,
As
lullaby me to sleep.
C# As
Keep me safe, lie with me,
Es
stay beside me, don’t go,
Fmi
don’t you go.
