[Intro]
D…….
[Verse]
D..Meet me out by the fire escape
It’s been forty nights and forty days
GAnd I’ve become uncertain in a cosmic way
I chewed my fingers to the bone today
[Pre-Chorus]
DOh, won’t you come around and meet me by the fire escape
GUntie this tied tongue tie
What’s it that I wanna say, what’s it that I really wanna say?
What are the words I’ve been choking on, hoping someone will articulate?
[Chorus]
D..Oh no, that’s some murky water
AAlright, we’re in the trenches now
I don’t know when the party’s over
GAll I know’s I’m getting out somehow
DOh, what a fever dream
[Verse]
DMeet me out by the fire escape
Join the procession down the alleyway, oh
GOur freedom’s a joke and we’ve got debts to pay
How many waves until the levee breaks?
[Pre-Chorus]
DOh, won’t you come around and meet me by the fire escape
GUntie this tied tongue tie
What’s it that I wanna say, what’s it that I really wanna say?
What are the truths we’ve been choking on, hoping someone will articulate?
[Chorus]
D..Oh no, that’s some murky water
AAlright, we’re in the trenches now
And I don’t know how the story ends
GBut the pages just turn over and then turn over again
[Bridge]
And redemption’s always outta sight and just around the bend
DAnd the outcome doesn’t match with what it is that I intend
Like a stack of books grows and gathers dust beside the bed
AOr the disconnect between what people Do and what they’ve said
And I wanna read the news maybe without losing my head
DOh, what a fever dream
[Interlude]
D A G………
[Outro]
D..Meet me out by the fire escape
It’s been forty nights and forty days
GAnd I’ve become uncertain in a cosmic way
DI chewed my fingers to the bone today….
