fig.1
You paint your own T.V. on the wall
fig.1
Carve out insects to feed us all
fig.1 A5
Lights flash by and the fast world echoes your thoughts
E5 D5 C5 B5
Your compass led you to the edge of a lake
E5 D5 C5 B5
You'll singe your nuts down there if you take
E5 D5 C5 B5
Such bad advice from the love gods of hate
A5
You'll get cold
E5 D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5 B5 E5 D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5 B5 E5 D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5 B5 A5
You get burned, you get cold
E5 D5 C5 B5
On the plush green rug in the lime green light
E5 D5 C5 B5
Eyes like white stones in black light
E5 D5 C5 B5
I promise you everything that you like
A5
I go
E5 D5 C5 B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5 C5 B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5 C5 B5 A5

fig.1
Gloss assails us, then dims
fig.1
Comic book nights, L.A. grim
fig.1 A5
The Hollywood martians, lucky stiffs, fucking win
E5 D5 C5 B5
You told me enough times you can't give me enough rope
E5 D5 C5 B5
To hang myself one time but I can always hope
E5 D5 C5 B5 A5
You come down on me so hard that I choke and go
E5 D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5 B5 E5 D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5 B5 E5 D5
You get burned, you get cold
C5 B5 A5
You get burned, you get cold
E5 D5 C5 B5
Meanwhile I feed you boric acid and air
E5 D5 C5 B5
Lemon drops, snow cream, speckled eggs
E5 D5 C5 B5
The sweat seeps in through a crack in your head
A5
And you go
E5 D5 C5 B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5 C5 B5
Mississippi kite
E5 D5 C5 B5 A5

On the SPEEDBATH version there is a different intro and this is repeated
several times throughout the song, sometimes with slight variations.
(slides are sometimes audible)
