[Verse 1]
You know the way you look makes everyone hungry
You got the ways and means to make it all right

Dye your hair suicide blonde
Dye your hair suicide blonde

[Verse 2]
Lose your identity, wander in any direction
Yeah, that’s the road to heaven’s door

Dye your hair suicide blonde
Dye your hair suicide blonde

Been so long since you’re gone
Yeah, you turn me on

[Instrumental]


[Verse 3]
You know the way you look makes everyone hungry
Are you a key to heaven’s door?

Dye your hair suicide blonde
Dye your hair suicide blonde
Dye your hair suicide blonde
Dye your hair suicide blonde

Capo 3rd fret

It’s the second September I have known you
Four years or so ago, I rode a pony, called him “Truth”
We didn`t know the way so it took us till today to get here

And all that time, I felt just fine
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
I was glad to let the whole thing go
It was taken by the wind and snow
And I still didn’t know that I was waiting
For a girl on a slow pony home

I can remember when I first saw you
You said in my photograph I looked more far away
I laughed and smiled and didn’t say “I am a bit afraid to be here.”

And all that time, I felt just fine
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
That I had to let the whole thing go
It was taken by the wind and snow
And I still didn’t know that I was waiting
For a girl on a slow pony home

Setting free the anchor and looking past the shore
It’s a sea of horses on ships with no sails, no motors, no oars

Now we’re cleaning the windows between us two
Funny, you do it once, and then again, and pretty soon
the fingerprints and dust… but I’ve begun to trust the view here.

And all that time, I felt just fine
I held so many people in my suitcase heart
I was glad to let the whole thing go
It was taken by the wind and snow
And I still didn’t know that I was waiting
For a girl on a slow pony home

[Verse 1]
My lover left me, she left me too soon.
I shouldn’t blame her, for the state of my room.
I started stumbling, chasing the bells.
The metal straps upon my knees made this sound when I fell
You heard those words from your peers
I was just your volunteer.

[Verse 2]
We love uncle Georgie, uncle Georgie’s our friend.
He spends his life fishing, washes dishes weekends.
And I tried to say something sincere
Sign me up I’ll volunteer.

[Verse 3]
My Father left us, he left us too soon.
I thought he’d say something, but he waltzed from the room.
All I remember is my hands at my sides.
The face of a woman who once was his bride.
All that he left us was tears
And a couple of lonely volunteers.
All that he left her was tears
And a couple of lonely volunteers.

[Verse 4]
Now we look for sister Mary, sister Mary’s the pale.
She holds her head sometimes and walks close to the rail.
She sings on a Sunday, stands in the stairs.
Haunts me at night time when I’ve forgotten my prayers.
We don’t see much of her here
That winter-weary volunteer.

{Verse 5]
Captains need order it helps them stay sane.
Plumbers hate slaughter, ‘cause it fks up the drains.
Hard hats must be worn at all times on the site.
It makes no difference if you’re lost in the light.
The men here have lost their careers
And they don’t talk to volunteers.

[Verse 6]
How your life cuts me, it cuts to my bone.
We pretend that it’s nothing, when we’re on our way home.
And I wish you’d abandon me here
So I could be your volunteer.

Verse 1
Here lie remains of a ship that sailed to close to the storm
capsized, grounded, washed-up, sounded

Chorus
I hear their voices, sirens singing in the street
I thought they might be calling out for you, for me
I hear their voices, sirens calling out emergency
for you, for me, for you, for you, for you
for you, for you, for you, for me

Verse 2
Here lies the body of a captain
foundered in the waves collected by the sirens
Oh, wise women of the sun
Oh, what have you done
save this frail one left by Poseidon

Chorus
I hear their voices, sirens singing in the street
I thought they might be calling out for you, for me
I hear their voices, sirens calling out emergency
for you, for me, for you, for you, for you
for you, for you, for you, for me
for you, for you, for you, for you
for you, for you, for me

Bridge
I realize the lights of all retreating cars shine red
I realize you will not take back any of those words you’ve said
what did you say?
what did you say?

why didn’t you stay?

Verse 3
Here lie all the photographs
All that I remember taken under, sent asunder
How I drift through history, a small Sargasso sea
rising, sinking, still I’m thinking

Chorus
I hear their voices, sirens singing in the street
I thought they might be calling out for you, for me
I hear their voices, sirens calling out emergency
for you, for me, for you, for you, for you
for you, for you, for you, for me
for you, for you, for you, for you
for you, for you, for me
