Amelia Earhart Vs. The Dancing Bear
From the album Milk And Scissors
[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D G
Amelia, Amelia Earhart,
D G
after her plane was torn apart
A G
and bursting through the trees
D
She remembered picking lemons
G
with William Randolph Hearst
D
and how a spinning plane propeller
G
turned liquid in the sun
[Chorus]
A G
And as the cockpit burned,
A G
her hair filled with sparks,
A G
but when the glass exploded in,
A G
everything went dark.

[Verse 2]
D G
Amelia, Amelia Earhart,
D G
after her plane was torn apart
A G
and bursting through the trees
D
She remembered sipping consomme'
G
with William Howard Taft
D
and a boy with perfect skin
G
who smelled like mustard gas
[Chorus]
A G
And as the cockpit burned,
A G
she couldn't help but smile,
A G
recalling a dancing bear
A G
she'd seen as a child
