Biography:
Mark Eitzel (born January 30, 1959) is best known as lead singer of the San Francisco band american music club. He was voted Rolling Stone's Songwriter of the Year in 1991.
Eitzel's first solo album was the (now elusive) cassette-only 'Mean Mark Eitzel Gets Fat' (1982), which pre-dates his AMC work. He released a solo live album, songs of love live in 1991, featuring raw and emotional acoustic versions of his best AMC songs. His first solo album proper was 1996's 60 Watt Silver Lining, a highly personal, jazz-inflected work.

[Verse 1]
Am F
The carpenter went to his dark place again
Em F
Mouth full of gravy and turkey and truth
Am F
Only hears you when you say amen
Em F
Can't hear a thing from under his burden of proof
Am F
Said all his enemies he outfoxes
Em F
And he's got so many important things to say
Am F
So many carpenters carving little boxes
Em F
In the faded glory USA
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
When you look at me
Fmaj7-5
I look away
Em
I look away
[Verse 2]
Am F
I told him well I guess in my role
Em F
As a professional singer and ham
Am F
Instead of a cane I’ve got a broken soul
Em F
And it’s with the deaf and dumb I stand
Am F
God bless your coldhearted causes
Em F
Your cartoons and curses are a bore
Am F
Your eyes aglow like stolen watches
Em F
Tell me why are the righteous always eager for war
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
When you look at me
Fmaj7-5
I look away
Em
I look away
[Verse 3]
Am F
Your god’s a good chance to get stupid
Em F
It really really brings up the blood
Am F
It will make you as dizzy as Cupid
Em F
Or Like a broken doll left after a flood
Am F
You always make me feel the noose tightening
Em F
Though I know I lean melodramatic
Am F
The soundtrack for everything I see
Em F
Is played by those hacks from the Titanic
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
When they open fire
Fmaj7-5
We look away
Am F
The carpenter went to his dark place again
