[Verse 1]
G D Am7 Hey, my little baby, pointing at the sky's amazing in the lake now. G D Am7 All of this sensation and no space on earth to place it where it's safe now. C C/B Am7 You've got a big day coming. A big day coming now.
[Verse 2]
G D Am7 Gather, crowd, around me, in the gutter where you found me. Help me stand now. G D Am7 My body, it is aching, and my poor old heart is breaking, and I'm so freaked out. C C/B Am7 We've got a big chance coming. A big chance coming now.
[Verse 3]
G D Am7 All the little Sadies and the literary ladies wish me well now. G D Am7 A slob upon a plane that through the air is silver swaying into sun now. G D Am7 I hightail my cool haircut through the turnstiles of the airport on the run now G D Am7 Flip a couple hundred pages; I was turning thirty-eight. I was a horrible sight. C C/B Am7 You've got a bad day coming. A sad day coming 'round. C C/B Am7 I'll wear a white suit and black sunglasses to the last mass now.
N.C.
Okay.
[Bridge]
C C/B Am7 Then give me one last kiss in your pink silk dress, I guess. C C/B Am7 Said, "I have lost all will to," with my face pressed against your breast. C C/B Am7 And I have pilfered the king's pills From the palace medicine chest. C C/B Am7 I cried a quart of crocodile tears onto Allison Anne's pink champagne glass. C C/B Am7 I was escorted from the premises for being a mess.
[Verse 4]
G D Am7 And it's just like when John Howe told me how the Force MDs died. G D Am7 Lou Gehrig's disease laid T.C.D. low. Mercury had a heart attack back in '95. C C/B Am7 And where DJ Doctor Rock went nobody knows.
[Verse 5]
G D Am7 I see my grandfather, T. Holmes "Bud" Moore laid up in his hospital clothes. G D Am7 But I think about Judee Sill dying in some trailer park, out of cocaine and codeine all alone. C C/B Am7 It was a big waste, brother. Such a big waste. Yeah, I know. C C/B Am7 They had some great songs; must have been a great time, so long ago. C C/B Am7 But I didn't open up my mouth just to piss and moan.
N.C.
No way.
[Outro]
G D Am7 All the air is glitter and I went and hit the skating rink alone now. G D Am7 I'll watch the kids all skim across the ice. They look so nice. It was so cold out. C C/B Am7 And then I coughed into my cupped hands across the rink so I could hear the band. G D Am7 Two guitars, a drummer, a chick singer with a Kurzweil on a keyboard stand. C C/B Am7 And I said, "Play that cover," I said, "Play that cover song again."
