Blue Arrangements

I see you gracefully swimming with the country club women
E                                  C#m    B
in the Greenwood southside society pool.
A                                  E
I love your amethyst eyes and your protestant thighs
         B                 F#
you're a shimmering socialite jewel.

From the Carbon Dioxide Riding Academy
E                  B                           C#m    B
to the children's crusade marching through the downtown.
A                                          E
Well I think I'd die see, if you just said hi to me.
               B                            F#
When something breaks it makes a beautiful sound.

Sometimes I feel like I'm watching the world
and the world isn't watching me back.
But when I see you, I know I'm in it too.
               B
The waves come in and the waves go back.
E
The kids in the corner all covered in dirt.
Caught trespassing under the moon.
My father came in from wherever he'd been
              B
and kicked my shit all over the room.
             A
All over the room
             E
All over the room.

The room is dark and heavy with what I want to say.
      A                                      E
I see murals in the radio static and on your blue blue jeans.
B*                                       Ebm*
What would you say if I asked you to run away?
          A                           E
It's been done so many times I hardly know what it means.
  E                                Ebm*
I took these blue arrangements and threw them in the sea
     A                            E
when older waves from older caves brought them back to me.
  B*                               Ebm*
I took these blue arrangements and stored them on a shelf.
     A
With change on the mantle and time in a candle,
             E
in the end a boy raises himself.
