Bb------------------------------------------C The siren’s tongue turns blue as a lover. Bb------------------------------------------------C She’ll hang from the neck until she has said. Bb------------------------------------------------C What privilege succeeds a muse for a mother. --------------Bb----------------------C And we’ll all hang while she reflects. Ab------C Black dogs. Ab-----C Dull claws. -------Ab---------C You juggle sensations. --------Ab--------------C They eat what you drop. Bb --------------------------------------C Calliope comes. A cruel demonstration. ------Bb----------------------------------------C For girls who might sing in voices too large. -------Bb-----------------------------------------C Now magpies abound, from Naples to Athens. -------Bb------------------------------------C And Thessaly learned just who’s in charge. Ab--C Big crown. Ab-------C Comes down. ------Ab------------C------------------------------------Ab---------C And leaves you blind and deaf and mute after one look around. F----------------------Ab Quite. Dressed in white. ----------C---------------Bb------------F I’m just whistles and copper and pins. F-----------------Ab Stone. Marble skin. ---------C-------------Ab----------F Music rolls do the work I just sit. Ab And if you find a song I hope you sing. Bb----------------------------------------------------C Push steam from your throat to hypnotize children. ------Bb---------------------------C You carousel god, riverboat theme. --------Bb------------------------------------------------------C What Linus had loved, when your voice was still silken, ----Bb----------------------------------------------------C is coarsened and rough. There’s dust in your screams. Ab----------C No one expects. ----Ab----C Or genuflects. -----Ab-------------C We make this in secret. ------Ab---------C You have no effect. |
