Cold Canary Gaslight

He reads like a bible, acts just like a birdcage,
                                               G
Roars like an engine, dying out on burnt rage,
Em
You can blow out all the candles and fire up the lime light,
                                                    G
She looks through him with the cold canary gaslight.

   G                                        Em
Oh sister, don't you look at what I've done.
   G                                         Em
Oh sister, don't you look at what I've done.

Em
Father's at the front door, dusting off the floor mat,
                                                        G
Brittle like his thick bark and tired like his old hat,
   Em
He used to wonder how a young boy travels to a grown man,
                                                     G
Said he walked on water he was dancing on quicksand.

G                                           Em
Oh father, don't you look at what I've done.
G                                           Em
Oh father, don't you look at what I've done.

And you see me tearing up the floor boards, white sheets covered you,
                                                   G
fire in my eyes and water pouring through the roof.
Em
And you heard I found a mine shaft, digging past midnight,
                                                      G
I crawled into the dark with the cold canary gaslight.
    Em N.C.
And I tried to throw a rope down and didn't feel it pull back,
N.C.                                            G
dead canary chirping now, cold blood in pitch black.
