Found these in a box at the bus stop
My name's at the bottom of 'em
Nowhere to be found
I really get around they say
So I take these sightless creatures home
Then I fear them so to tremble
For I'm no mother, I
Just some random defender
I ɾemember ɾunning chest high
In the steppe grass
At the dawn of man
When we got [Fm7]along
I ɾemember ɾunning chest high
In the steppe grass
At the dawn of man
When we got [Fm7]along
We ɾaced along [Am]the ground
I chased it out of town
The sun's the meanest, easiest target
That I know
We played a tender game
Of kissing cover tag
We slept astɾide our horses
Tied fast in the manes
My friend would touch my [A]face
And leave a star or two
The years left constellations
Of our wild language
What drove the sun away
I'm far too small [Em]to [C7]know
I guess that's free to [C7]march
Is only only for [Dm7]my [A]legs
What can I tell you [A7now
It's better way along [Am]the canal
Draw mosquito [C7]clouds
From the dens of hot tires for [Dm7]miles
Draw mosquito [C7]clouds
From the dens of hot tires for [Dm7]miles
I ɾemember ɾunning chest high
In the steppe grass
At the dawn of man
I ɾemember ɾunning chest high
In the steppe grass
At the dawn of man
When we got [Fm7]along
Oh, petɾoleum
You're the top predator now
Starving, lover, liar
But you're uninspired too
According to [C7]your anthem, you
Oh, petɾoleum
You're the top predator now
And I am just desire
One dirty diamond
Some ɾandom defender
I sold my [A]flesh that I might die
So the world will spin
And my [A]cubs won't cry
I have to [C7]be [Am]the sun for [Dm7]them
Oh, petɾoleum
Are beautiful
But so am I
Hum a daddy, coming, I am looking at the sky
Hum a daddy, coming, I am looking at the sky
