F Bb Gm C F Bb F Bb C
In care of his contraption mad camp hill rail operator woman
F Bb C
Is she speaking from the heart?
F Bb C
Maybe blasting from another world?
Am Bb C
Or just the emissary of a higher court inside the body of a girl?
F Bb C
Does she want to take control?
F Bb Gm C
When her eight track breaks down will she take my bus home?
F Bb Gm C F Bb F Bb C
In care of his contraption mad camp hill rail operator woman
Is this some sort of reverie for the
One woman Jan and Dean heading for the crash?
Is she half who she ought to be
Or a overdue prodigy
Whose unsolicited view of your present's confused with her past?
At a table by the door
Of my moment but she can't sit still,
And when I crash upon the floor she'll come across the stage
and finish out the bill,
She throws one switch and all trains are in space
What she lays on those tracks you can't ever erase
F Bb Gm C F Bb F Bb C
In care of his contraption mad camp hill rail operator woman, yeah
HOMEFRONT CAMEO
Capo 3rd Fret
F E7 Am
Everything is better the boss has made a cameo
F E7 Am
He has seen the infidel army like a prince of old
Am D
Listen to him twist her faith, he's been out there all day
C E Am G F
Sleeping on the laurels of a face from long ago
Am D
As matters complicate, it's a terrible thing to wait
F E7 Am
Everything is better the boss has made a cameo
F E7 Am
He has seen the infidel army like a prince of old
Dm Bb F
She's made the bed three times today
Each a masterpiece in its own way and takes his name in vain
From this vantage point she is making her plans
Kiss good-bye to this your century map
She calls her future back ,takes his wine from the rack
He wants a glass of water but she sweetly mouths her no
Then like an arrow she's let go, Arcing from he poison beau
Everything is better the boss has made a cameo
She has seen the infidel army like a prince of old
SPIN MY WHEELS
D G A G G/F# Em
You run away with my sleep and I'm stuck in here so deep
D G Em G G/F# Em Em/D A
I had a terrible dream and I can't wake up it seems
G Bm G F#m
In my parallel field, what's imagined is real
G E D G G/F# Em Em/D A
For you I conceal, all that I feel and girl you spin my wheels
D G A G G/F# Em
I've got a terrible mind, maybe desperate or unkind
D G Em G G/F# Em Em/D A
Thinking of ways to dispose of the ones we say we love the most
G Bm G F#m
I want to carry you home, I want to see you alone
G E D G G/F# Em Em/D A
For we will never show all that we feel and girl you spin my wheels
MY BEFORE AND AFTER
Capo 1ST Fret
D G A
She picked me out of the millions
F#m
Thumbing an OED
G Em A
Dressed me down to civilian
F#m G
Cracked the code on the Rosetta Stone
F#m G
Said the word for alone is "alone"
A Em A D
My before and after her
D G A
We found that R Mutt was truly
F#M G Em A
some work of genius she helped my best friends see through me
F#m G
Said the church of his holiness lied
F#m G A
This world's no dead end it's park and ride
A Em A D
My before and after her
F#m G
Now I'm dangerously reprogrammed man
F#m G A
Like that guy in the Manchurian
A Em A D
My before and after her
PRIVATE RUTH
She used to love me and that was such an obstacle
Running around in the bad hand-me-downs of someone else's girl
She's pulling my name and making a face
As if to say all that you've been has been erased
Private Ruth, you hate
She's tired of loving the ones she knows she's better than
Moving the men on a chessboard full of all her so called friends
Or maybe she just wants me a drone
Proclaiming edicts from the queen bee in her cone
Private Ruth, you hate
VEGETABLE ROW
G D C
I hear when you talk that not much goes on
G D C
And now I think you might be the dark right before my dawn
G Gsus4 C
And the clouds have made a fissure I've arranged that for you mister
C C/B C/A
So that you can go ahead and prematurely start the process of preserving
You look so afraid and I can see why
You just turned your back on a very dangerous guy
And the bells ring with a vengeance as we witness your ascension
To a land where they can things better than all the "Bells of Rhymny"
On vegetable row, vegetable row. On vegetable row, vegetable row
Think of us in your new haunt
They must have let classes out early those days
And I bet you were the funniest clown at the front of the hip parade
Now you shadows swirl around us take us back to where you found us
Crawl back underneath you couch and tell us things are a little bit skewed
On vegetable row, vegetable row. On vegetable row, vegetable row
I'm thinking of a place where times your boss
And now you just can't wait
To turn in your only key, pass your baton to me,
Sell yourself penny cheap and never stop to total up the cost
Some people give up on the third or fourth try
And some can make a career out of just trying to say good-bye
They've been holding your place someone's here to fill that space
And it's a mighty act of grace you won't have me around
To check you vital signs On vegetable row... Think of us in your new haunt
