Spring Terror

Capo 2 Intro: Strum the G chord hammer on the G note a few times. G Look at all the steam off the snow Em C Am We listen to the Top 40 country radio blow G Listen to the singer Em C Trying to put my finger on who killed who G When it does linger Em C The sweet nostril-stinger of the springs mildew G Em Was it your will to take his pill orally? C Am Or did you act perfunctorily? G The lamp-shadow dampness The safe world of campus Em The water of your high school eyes C Some stadium Am Some old college tries G There in my stomach the liquor heated With every place I ever trick-or-treated and Em We used to message through the ink of night C Am With skin still young and pink and tight D Em Back when the tongue thrust with all of our young lust Am Bm C Am The dimple-chin brunettes who make simpleton pets of me G And yes, Im a heel G7 But with Peters keel Em C I will cut through the lily-pads Am D The moping mothers and hillbilly dads Em G And the billboard dentist from White Lake to East Lansing Am D With his day-glo halo sentence entrancing G Em The moon makes lake-water out to be a filmy skin C Am Em C But who can begin to tell what skin holds far within G Oh, the bathers G7 Oh, the toweling Em C Your cells are saviors that ring wet bells growling and G You have the black eyes G7 Just holes filled with night skies Em C A saddening sweetness through your kid-sister sighs G Em Where the Sylvan Lake corner is flickering with childhood C Am And the mourner within me feels older than wildwood G Em And if I knew what part of me was wax C Am G Id try to truncate it with a black sopping night axe
