They [D] were hiding behind hay beds.
[G] They were planting [D] in the fog.
They had given all [Bm] they had for something [G] new.
[A]
[D] But the light of day was on them.
[G] They could see the [D] thrashers coming.
And the water shone like [Bm] [D] diamonds in [G] the dew.
[A]
[G] And I was [A] just getting up, [D] hit the road before [G] it swept.
From the catching [A] hour on [D] the sun.
[E]
[G] When I saw those [A] thrashers rolling by,
[D] looking more than two [Bm] lanes wide.
[Em] I was feeling like [G] my day had just [A] begun.
[D] Where the evil flies descend.
[G] There's an ancient [D] river bending.
Even timeless forges [F#m] of changes.
[G] Where sleeplessness [A] awakes.
[D] I searched out my companions.
[G] They were lost in crystal canyons.
When the aimless blade [D] of science
[G] slashed the pearly gates.
[A]
[G] Just then I knew [A] that I'd had enough.
[D] Earned my credit card [G] for a few.
Headed out to [A] where the pavement [D] turns to sand.
With [G] a one-way ticket [A] to the land of truth.
[D] And my suitcase in my hand.
[Bm] How I lost my friends, [G] I still don't [A] understand.
[D] They had the best selection.
[A] They [G] were poisoned [D] with protection.
There was nothing that they [Bm] needed.
[G] Nothing left to [A] find.
[D] They were lost in rock formations.
No [G] pecan, carpet, [D] mutation.
On the sidewalks and in the [Bm] stations.
[G] They were waiting.
[A] Waiting.
So I got [A] bored and left them there.
[D] They were just dead weight [G] to me.
Whatever down [A] the road,
[D]
[G] brings back a time
when I was eight or nine.
I [D] was watching my mama's [F#m] TV.
[D] It was [Em] that great Grand [G] Canyon Rescue [A] episode.
[A] [D] Where the full-shared lives descended.
On [G] the asphalt highway [D] then.
[A] Libraries and [Bm] museums.
[D]
[G] Galaxies and stars.
Down [D] the windy halls of friendship.
To [G] the rose clipped by the [D] boat.
The motel [A] of lost [Bm] companions.
Waits [G] with heated pools [A] and bar.
[G] See I'm not [A] stopping there.
Got [D] my own.
Got [A] my [D] own road left to go.
Just another [A] line in the field [D] of time.
When [G] the thrasher comes I'll [A] be stuck in the sun.
Like the [A] dinosaurs in [Bm] shrines.
[D] But I'll [G] know the time has come.
To give [A] what's mine.
