Picasso Moon

Soft B on Intro

South of Market in the land of ruin
YOU'LL FIND ALL manner of action (breathe)
Tinsel tigers in the metal room
Stalking satisfaction

They got them packaged up for love and money 
Tattooed tots, chrome spike bunnies
Pop on my mirrored shades, THE BETTER to see
Roll on in, come on let's roll in it, honey but

I get a feeling like when big things collide
Like the crack before the thunder, like I really ought to hide
Here comes metal angel, she looks ready to ride
What's that she's tryin' to show me?
What's that she's tryin' to show me?

Picasso moon, shattered light
Diamond bullets tearing up the night 
Picasso moon, liberate me, oh ya C#

 

Ah, life's infinite diversity, oh ya
Great, amazing, majesty, oh ya
And it's bigger than a drive-in movie, oo-wee
And it's bigger than a drive-in movie, oo-wee
Soft B

VERSE 2
Hanging ten out on space and time
Redefining distance
The next skull on your necklace is mine
Cheap for such assistance

I had a job TRADING bits for pieces
We'd make wrinkles, advertise them as creases
Please find my resignation enclosed
Roll with it, come on let's roll with it, honey but

Dark angel, what's bothering you
So strange, you do me all that you do
Dark angel, you're making me blue
I guess it doesn't matter
I guess it doesn't matter, hey!

Picasso moon, blinding ball
I feel the quickening, I hear the call
Picasso moon, fill the sky, oh yay C#


Amazin blazin mystify
With-the lunar wind, I want to fly
And it's bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my
And it's bigger than a drive-in movie, oh my
Soft B

VERSE 3
Come the morning, the atomic dawn
Scramble back to cover
Quick, pop your mirror sunglasses on
My little leather-winged lover

I see your face printed on my money
Your brazen ways really move me, honey
Heart of darkness, yeah, yeah oooh
Why am I laughing, sure ain't funny 

Dark angel, now just don't start
You'll break my spirit, you'll wreck my heart
You must have a license for practicin that art
I don't presume to imagine
No I, I don't presume to imagine hey

Picasso moon, fractal flame
Blazing lace filling every frame
Picasso moon, wheels within wheels, ya C#


The bells are ringing, it's way unreal oh ya
Trying to tell y'all about just how it feels oh ya
And it's bigger than a drive-in movie, for real
And it's bigger than a drive-in movie, for real

QUICK!

Picasso moon, shattered light
Diamond bullets tearing up the night
Picasso moon, liberate me oh ya  C#

Picasso moon, blinding ball
I feel the quickening, I hear the call
Picasso moon, fill the sky, my my C#

Picasso moon, fractal flame
Blazing lace filling every frame
Picasso moon, illuminate me oh ya, C#
Illuminate me

Intro Am7  Bdim

Am7Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the morning's door.Bdim
AmSee the sun! CSparkle in the reeds, Amsilver beads, Cpass into the sea.Bm       D

DShe comes from a town where they call her the woodcutter's Adaughter,
AShe's brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her Dwater, and
DShe bears it away with a love that the river has Bmtaught her.
AmLet it flow!   Let it flow,  Cwide and clean  Em2

Am7Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed Bdimfield,

Am7Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the Bdimbarley meal,

AmBroken ground! COpen and beckoning AmTo the spring, C
Black dirt live again!Bm       D

DThe plowman is broad as the back of the land he is Asowing,
AAs he dances the circular track of the plow ever Dknowing
DThat the work of his day measures more than the planting and Bmgrowing
AmLet it grow!  Let it grow, CGreatly yield. Em2

Em2What shall we Bsay, shall we Gcall it by a Em2name,  CAs well to count the Gangels dancing on a Bmpin.
Em2Water bright Bas the Gsky from which it Em2came,  And the Dname is on the earth that takes it Ain.
We Gwill not speak but G/F#stand inside the Emrain.Em7
