YESTERDAY SUIT (capo 4)

there’s no sugar in your coffee
there’s no polish in your slide
every taxi is available
because all your friends have died
you can run it up the flagpole
you can offer a salute
they’ll find you in your vacuum
in your yesterday suit

your body’s on the platform
your spirit reaches down
every train is behind schedule
every plane has hit the ground
you can put that in your pipe
you can toss it down the chute
they’re coming to collect you
in your yesterday suit

I’ve been born again i’ve been born again
and born again so many times
i squeezed the beads made my pleads 
and i read between the lines
but am i still in the picture?
these are trying times
i’m constantly on edge ain’t got no parachute
and i’m standing on the ledge in my yesterday suit

 
you got an itchy trigger finger
you got a paralyzed hand
you’re mopping up the ballroom
with your invisible band 
there were voices from the rafters
but now they’ve all gone mute
dressed to the nines in silence 
in your yesterday suit

(chorus)

A DIFFICULT ANALYSIS 

it was a difficult analysis
there will be work to do and time to heal
to overcome said paralysis 
until it all come true and he regain his feel

was there something that you wanted to say? (4x)

it was a difficult analysis
possib-lee someday he’ll stop the sway
but for now  it just goes on like this
the sweat and spin that’s just another day

was there something that you wanted to say? (4x)

was it maybe -- maybe it will be ok? (3x)

(hang on chord...solo...repeat above “maybe...” )

He cant get on the train he can’t get off the train
he cant get on-the train he can’t get off the train

A Difficult Analysis

SHIP GOES IN REVERSE (no capo)

how fast you think that ship goes in reverse?
you got 30 seconds empty out yer purse 
before they split the dock and drain the loch 
and they revert back to that sailor talk
how fast you think that ship goes in reverse?
nobody writes back no-one will converse
you wonder where they went you left to vent
with the other pebbles who can’t make a dent
how fast you think that ship goes in reverse?


if it was up to me id drone away 
id buy the extra scoop id sack the day
id radic-alize i’d shift the shape
and id insist record it straight to tape

but as you see right now my hands are tied
i said id reach out to you but that’s a lie
left to my own device I WON’T resurrect
until i get 1000 genuflects 

but take this with you just in case you need
some little BLACK dots hastily set to a screed
it DON”T LAST too long but see that IS ok
we don’t know how long we got to hear anyway

just know that when you’re down and feeling blue
that you have a paten on your own shade too
what’s done is done until the verse is through
im 1000 over/under you
