Verse 1:

G			       D          			  CAt your house the smell of our still living human bodies and oven gas


You pray to nothing out loud

G		        Em           	     CTwo first names and an ampersand embroidered proudly on a kitchen towel


         G          		D             	   C          DYou're a beautiful and violent work with the skinny neck of a Chinese bird

     G               Din a fading ancient painting.

	Em               C		          GAnd if you're in heaven waiting you made it there fighting

		D				C		Dthe tightest kite string in a bad storm with lightning.


Chorus:

	Em	  G	     C/E               Em/GAnd now these few presidents frowning in my pocket

Verse 2:

G                          DI thought I had a pebble in my sock

Em		     CI pulled it off and shook out a wasp

   G                      DIt stumbled out lost and without a pause

  Em                       Cunstung as I was, still I stomped it.


  Em                               CI thought "There is no paved street worthy

	Em                   Cof your perfect Scandinavian feet."

Em                      CMy crooked chinese fingers groped

Em               C			D  the machinery of your throat.


			EmRepeat Chorus, end on "anywhere."
