[Verse 1]
E G#m
January 1979 saw a terrible crash
E
(and I couldn't help but laugh) My ear pressed against the past
G#m
Like a glass on a wall of a house in a photograph
E
My forehead no longer sweet
G#m
With holy kisses
E
Worthy of your fiery lips I was floating in a peaceful sea
G#m
Rescued by a sinking ship
[Chorus]
F# G#m
If I could become the servant of all
F#
No lower place to fall (I could be your servant)
F# G#m
If I could become the servant of all
F#
No lower place to fall (If could be your servant)
F# G#m
If I could become the servant of all
F#
No lower place to fall (I could be your servant)
F# G#m
If I could become the servant of all
F#
No lower place to fall (If could be your servant)
[Verse 2]
E G#m
You watch me like a ten car highway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity
E
This looking down on the tops of the hats
G#m
Of us passersby from your seventh floor balcony
E
And from such a height you missed
G#m E
Creatures too small for sight carry on covert conversation
G#m
As the misguided insects crown me their grasshopper king with a dance of
celebration
[Bridge]
E B
E Emaj7 E Emaj7
B G#m B
[Verse 3]
E
After years with their crown on my head
G#m
I've grown overfed, unconcerned
