Lungs

Won't you lend your lungs to me?	Em
Mine are collapsing	D Em
Plant my feet and bitterly	Em
Breathe up the time that's passing.	D Em
Breath I'll take and breath I'll give	D Em (D)
Pray the day's not poison	D Em
Stand among the ones that live	Em D Em
In lonely indecision.	Em D Em

Fingers walk the darkness down	Em
Mind is on the midnight	D Em
Gather up the gold you've found	Em
You fool, it's only moonlight.	D Em
And if you stop to take it home	D Em (D)
Your hands will turn to butter	D Em
Better leave this dream alone	Em D Em
Try to find another.	Em D Em

Salvation sat and crossed herself	Em
And called the devil partner	D Em
Wisdom burned upon a shelf	Em
Who'll kill the raging cancer	D Em
Seal the river at its mouth	D Em (D)
Take the water prisoner	D Em
Fill the sky with screams and cries	Em D Em
Bathe in fiery answers	Em D Em

Jesus was an only son	Em
And love his only concept	D Em
But strangers cry in foreign tongues	Em
And dirty up the doorstep	D Em
And I for one, and you for two	D Em (D)
Ain't got the time for outside	D Em
Keep your injured looks to you	Em D Em
We'll tell the world that we tried	Em D Em
