Winnebago Skeletons
From the album Milk And Scissors
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G C G
There's a fish in my stomach a thousand years old
G Em C D
Can't swim a full circle, the water's too cold
Em C G F#/G Em
Burnt out cars in my fingers, conveyor belts flow,
C Am C D G
right angles and steam whistles, nothing can grow
[Verse]
G C G
A big-antlered deer stepping into the road,
G Em C D
A beautiful woman with her head in the stove
Em C G F#/G Em
The skyscrapers crumble heavy with rats
C Am C D G
The wind's full of beer cans and whiffle ball bats
[Chorus]
D C G
The endless sea of traffic lights never make a sound
D C G
Like Ben Franklin's electric kite crashing to the ground
C Am C D G
and the Winnebago skeletons beneath this bankrupt town
[Solo]
G C G Em C G F#/G Em C Am C D G
[Verse]
G C G
This fish in my stomach wears a full length mink,
G Em C D
But his teeth float in sherry in a jar by the sink
Em C G F#/G Em
He's the withered remains of Rin Tin Tin
C Am C D G
Taking his new Cadillac out for a spin
[Chorus]
D C G
The endless sea of traffic lights never make a sound
D C G
Like Ben Franklin's electric kite crashing to the ground
C Am C D G
and the Winnebago skeletons beneath this bankrupt town
[Coda]
C Am C D G
