D G

Like silence she stands

D

Like laughter she falls

G

From a castle of sand

D

Like a memory she calls.

G

And the mocking birds scream

D

'Cause they can't make her cry

A G

They'll soon start t'believe

D

That the lady has died.

Aw what it all goes to show Take your Tinkerbell lies

It ain't may job to say And your weary desires

For who am I to know Take the tears in your eyes

Why She's Actin' This Way And your cup full of fire

Aw once again turn away Aw give your lover a call

If you're sure that it's done If your legs start to fail

Tell your prophets to pray And he'll come break your fall

Tell your bandits to run With a bed full of nails.

Take your eyelids of stone No need to glance back again

They won't do you no harm There ain't nothin' to see

Take your cross made of bones Just this drunken old man

And your flypaper arms. And this woman and me.

And when everything's placed And you've made it quite plain

In your coffin of gold That we're just waistin' time

Throw a scarf 'round your face And you say it seems strange

'Cause the subway gets cold That I'm stayin' behind.

Pack up your sunflower smile But don't worry 'bout me

And your bandana blues I can make it alone

Take your worthless denials 'Cause I got no place to be

They're all you got left to loose. And I ain't far from home.
