Rapids

(G)Your mama said, clean out your head boy, don’t lay nothing on my child
Your friends they said, Your heads in a noose boy lay some boogie on our minds
And we (D)stood like the rapids and (C)I was like a new born (G)child.

Your father said, clean out your head boy, go and kick cans along the street
Your father said, clean out your toes rose and go and lick some uncooked meat
And we stood like the rapids and I was like a new born child.

And we stood like the rapids and I was like a new born child.

Your mama said, my babe is not free son, but I’m loose about midnight
Your father said, Your sisters a groove boy, what I said it just ain’t right
But then I stood like the rapids and they were like a new born child.

Gonna drive me wild

Mind that swiftly (A)falls apart,
Sunset groove lid, sharp as a dog paw, pickle pump people,

Dressed in a bayleaf she’s trying to hide

Interstellar Soul

(C) Running around in the (Em) dawn with that (G) hat
I can (Fmaj7) see, I’m no (C) match for you
Doing the foxtrot on your knees, Garbo Girl,
It’s so hard to contemplate you

‘Cos you’re (Em) so (Fmaj7) full of inter(C)stellar soul
(Em) So (Fmaj7) full of inter(C)stellar soul

That rich ditch won’t catch me, girl, but it sculpted you
Silk and Diamond-gilded gauntlet can be weird
But I’m scared, to look like you

‘Cos you’re so full of interstellar soul
So full of interstellar soul

Lean on my head kiss my knee, breathe again
Bumble bee in my ear, I see a tear but it’s solid gold
I don’t want to get like you

‘Cos you’re so full of interstellar soul
So full of interstellar soul
