Verse 1
G G 
 
It's all I'm looking for
D D 
 
These moments of opaque-
eyed knocked- out rapture
Helpless as a cow for the capture
G G 
 
Chosen in a frozen instant

Verse 2
G G 
 
Far away from the scabbed- out moment
D D 
 
Far from the flick- flick-
flick of the flatscreen
Far from the poison power of cash

Green cash reeking and heating
the jetstream

Verse 3

Oh, the shop- sweet breath,
she is my daughter

Daughter of the flashing instant
Daughter of watching "Daughters
of Darkness"

On your parents' couch with your
high- school boyfriend

Verse 4
G G 
 
Spinning fevered in a hazy ditch
D D 
 
We daughters of long hard skids
on the 10- speed
Daughters of July rips of the land speed
G G 
 
Semi- freckled eternal thrasher

Verse 5
G G 
 
Feather- haloed floating
D D 
 
hair eye- flasher
Floating like a fire in the distance
Flashing like a flush to the skin
G G 
 
And whispering like the wind
through the rushes

Verse 7
G G 
 
You gotta hoist the high flag
You gotta learn how to hang

with the freaks and the hicks
And the heat of the lot
You gotta learn what is
and what is not
G G 
 
And you learn what isn't is not a lot

Verse 8
G G 
 
To drain a tin beer Streaming
cold in the fields
D D 
 
Sun is up and the heat is relentless
Dropping the rainbow rain on the canvas
G G 
 
Calls her friends in the capital
of cannabis

Verse 9
G G 
 
Where the cops down the block
And they circle and they stop
And they circle and they stop
D D 
 
And they stop and they circle
And they stop,
God help 'cause it's a lot
G G 
 
And may God have mercy

Verse 10

on the polyglot

Oh no, external actor

Verse 11
A million miles across, the starlight
D D 
 
Skip skip skip
A wide long curve of
spacedust melt around a star

Keep shining in the cold

Keep shining in the dark
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
G G
