New Wine New Skins

Bm                                        G
If God wills this time tomorrow, bound for Boise via plane
Bm                               G
(willful mispronunciation of my destination’s name)
    A               G              A              Bm
I’d like to write a sequel to “the State That I am in” [sic]

Bm                                     G
If God wills this time tomorrow in the early morning rain
Bm                                        G
I’ll unpack the boots I borrowed and turn back the way I came
   A               G               A           Bm
I’d like to write a sequel to “the State I am in”
   A                    G
And I’d like to call the song New Wine, New Skins

                              (“God’s will” or “come what fortune gives"...)

Bm
Come, unfastening android limbs
       A
In the moonlight through translucent skin
         G
Now we’ve both been there and back again
       Em7               A
To the state that I’m no longer in
     Bm
With carbon fiber lips whereby
     A
Came thought reflex personified
       G
Now a scorpion in the sky, harmless as a butterfly
Em7             A
You can pin and mount me likewise!
Bm
If you fail first, some warm, bright day
    A
I’ll unperform at your unmarked grave
            G
And you can tell me what those eyes have seen
       Em7                   A
But for now the Creek-don’t-rise routine
    Bm
With churning engine, fix my head
   A
Up north in the Gold Fork riverbed
        G
From the misuse of intelligence
    A              G
And all I wish I’d said pours out
Em7
New wine, new skins
