A                D
Frozen into coats,
                      Bm
White girls of the North,
G              D
Fire past one, fire the one,
D
They are the fabled lambs,
E
A Sunday ham,
Bm
The ancient snow.             
            A                        D
And they can float above the grass,
               A
In circles if they tried,
 G                    D
A latent power I know they hide,
D
To keep some hope alive,
E                   Bm
That a girl like I could ever try,
           A
Could ever try.



F#m           D                E
So we just skirt the hallway signs,
                F#m
A phantom and a fly,
F#               D              E           
Follow the lines and wonder why

There's no connection.



A                         D
And weakened falling eyes,
                         Bm
In cheap shots from the tribe,
G                               D
And we're often in Marcus’ porch again,
D                                E
Another afternoon with the gold head tunes,
      Bm
And pilfered booze.
             A                   D
We wandered through your mama's house,
                         A
And the milk from the window lights,
           G                     D
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
              D
This is that foreign land,
              E
With the sprayed on tans,
             Bm
And it all feels fine,
               A
Beats circus slime,


F#m            D              E
So, when they tap our mundane heads,
                        F#m
To zombie-walk in our stead,
F#                   D                E
This town seems hardly worth our time,
F#m                D                E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
                  F#m
To fall along in our crime,
F#                     D                 E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,

With no connection.
