Back in

I was watching a TV show

When the glowing screen went blank,
Bm
I looked out of my window
G
Em
G
I saw 27 crows perched
Bm
Am
And a glass of familiar face appeared
Bm
Cause that mother's milk

When you're a little baby

Then in December of 81,
Em
I saw my dear old friend John
Bm

He was fall down drunk
at the Christmas parade
Bm
With his children looking on
G
Bm
Em
His wife, she lost her mind
G

she was committed for a time,
when they set her free

Death is dark and strange
Am
It's the near and worrisome
voice you hear
Bm

forever calling out your name.
As I was walking down the street
D
Em
last week in Portland, Oregon,
Bm
Am
I found the last of many keys I lost.
Bm
I picked it up and I grinned
Em
G
Cause sometimes them crows take flight

If you consume from your brain
Bm
Am
You will find yourself in the nick of time

Stranger candy
When I went out with my
second album,
Em
I was still getting used to the idea of being a rock star,
you know?
And I had to talk a band
into coming out with me
and I said, yeah, you get to meet lots
of beautiful women.
And then we went to the show
and it was like 93 %
Am
50 -year -old alienated men
who go to sleep normally.
You're all mostly asleep
by this time, right?
And then I realized something
that there is a marketing strategy in this in that if I could attract
the 40 -year -old unmarried women,
then I could start a sort of musical
matchmaking service
because the 40 -year -old women
would come
and the 50 -year -old men would be there,
and there would be a vast disproportionate amount,
and the women
would be almost guaranteed
to come home with some loser or another,
which is what they're all looking for,
right? I'm sorry to say.
See, this is what I do.
This is what I do.
It's really sad.
I will win your love,
and then I stab you.
I've done this all my life
and I'm really trying not to do it anymore,
in my personal life anyway.
