the intro isn't chord for chord but i'd hope you get the idea.


                                    
I'm pushing pins through the pavement.
                             
I'm adding days to the week.
                                      
I feel the city sidewalk shake beneath me

while everyone sleeps.

INTRO RIFF AGAIN
                            
I'm spiking punch and Judy send offs
                            
with silver dollars I stole
                                              
from Michael's dresser somewhere back in Brooklyn
                          
while he was out digging holes.

I wrote the horse you rode in on a letter
                                      
to keep the focus off me, and make it stay there,
                                                     
to keep you guessing while the shift change splits the streets,
                   
but I still can't sleep.
