Chords I’ve Known
1996
[Apple Music / iTunes]-
She laid her head
On my chest
As the sun burned
Down the west
There’s one thing we still got
This one last dance in this parking lot
Oh yeah I
I got a heart
Of darkness
Oh yeah I
I got a heart
Of darkness
Then she woke up
Into the fire
And the flames kept
Dancing higher
Satan would laugh at her screams
Then she woke up from her dreams
Oh yeah I
I got a heart
Of darkness
Oh yeah I
I got a heart
Of darkness -
Fourth of July night
Fireworks show bright
And I almost lost my mind
Yes I almost lost my mind
In the traffic jam
Sweaty big Ford can
And I almost lost my mind
Yes I almost lost my mind
Fourth of July night
Fireworks show bright
And I almost lost my mind
Yes I almost lost my mind
In the traffic jam
In the traffic jam -

There is a dead opera star
Floating in the Great Dismal Swamp
And he was wearing a dress with watermelons on it
And he stuffed his bra with Spanish moss
Dead opera star
Dead opera star
Dead opera star
Floating in the Great Dismal Swamp
Black tupelo
Where all the planet’s neon goes to die
The air hangs thick with dead electricity
He was chased by ball lightning
Went crazy from sleeping under the moonlight
And the soul of an unbaptised infant
Who swims the waters upsetting boats
Dead opera star
Dead opera star
Dead opera star
Floating in the Great Dismal Swamp -
There’s too much confusion today
Look in eye and it’s sure to shy away
And he blew his brains out with a pistol they say
To cover his ass or make a point someway
Meet me on
Lonely Street
Meet me on
Lonely Street
Yeah
To stab me in the back you know she threw a hatchet
It buried in my chest when I turned to catch it
And my lucky days are stuck in quarantine
I thought I got some kind of warranty
Meet me on
Lonely Street
Meet me on
Lonely Street
Meet me on
Lonely Street
Meet me on
Lonely Street
