Bm A If we were all born C#m Bm With a pylon between our eyes Bm A Would we notice the grass C#m Bm Through metal bars and siren cries? [Chorus 1] G A Bm I'm running on highways and dust G A Bm I've never been home but I know I must [Verse 2] Bm A If I am a mouth C#m Bm That bit the hand that gave me life Bm A Then I'll kiss a chord C#m Bm Suck from melody, my fertile wife [Chorus 2] G A Bm I'm having some trouble thinking straight G To put it in words A Bm A G I hate to put it in words [Instrumental] Bm A Bm A Bm [Verse 3] Bm A To long for the lark C#m Bm A fickle wish, a fleeting wing Bm A But she won't be caught C#m Bm Tethered down, and forced to sing [Chorus 3] G A Bm I'm having some trouble seeing clear G A Bm I'll never get home I fear [Verse 4] Bm A And I must be left C#m Bm For a little while, to walk my road Bm A The ways back are shut now C#m Bm And I'll be left to tread alone G I want to go home
