Intro REm
REm LA
when we hid out behind the risers at the high school,
SOL REm
working bitter calculations with a slide rule.
REm LA
the grim particulars of poisoning the swimming pool,
SOL LA
well you looked me in the eye,
REm SOL
ready to die.
REm LA
we were becoming what we are,
REm
collapsing stars.
REm LA
when we chewed up pseudoephedrine like bubble gum,
SOL REm
til our hearts were beating as deep and rich as kettle drums
REm LA
we knew if we waited long enough the change would come.
SOL LA
and then the day did come and at last
REm SOL
hold tight. hold fast.
REm LA
catch lightning in a jar,
REm
collapsing stars.
SOL REm
I told you to load up on provisions,
SOL REm
because we wouldn't be back for a while.
SOL REm
pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
SOL LA
turn toward the camera and smile, smile, smile.
REm LA
when we ditched the plan to poison all our enemies,
SOL REm
stuffed our weapons in a clearing, and covered them with leaves,
REm LA
we are going to come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves
SOL LA
one day, and we are on our way.
REm SOL
you can look, but you won't find
REm LA
another love like ours,
REm
collapsing stars.
