Lyrics
LYRIC GRAVEYARD
by BILL BEACH
VERSE 1:
E
I WENT TO THE LYRIC GRAVEYARD
E
TO KICK AROUND SOME BONES
E
FELT LIKE READING POSTCARDS
E
FROM MY DANGER ZONES
CHORUS:
A
BUT AMONG THE BRAMBLES AND BUSTED MONUMENTS
E
BESIDE THE WORK OF VANDALS WHO ALTER DOCUMENTS
B7
SOMETHING I'D LEFT FOR DEAD THAT I COULD REINVENT
E B7
IN THE LYRIC GRAVEYARD TO SEARCH FOR TESTAMENT
VERSE 2:
E
JUST SCRAPS AND BROKEN PIECES
E
WHAT DID I THINK I'D FIND?
E
JUST BEING HERE INCREASES
E
MY SORRY STATE OF MIND
CHORUS:
A
BUT AMONG THE BRAMBLES AND BUSTED MONUMENTS
E
BESIDE THE WORK OF VANDALS WHO ALTER DOCUMENTS
B7
SOMETHING I'D LEFT FOR DEAD THAT I COULD REINVENT
E B7
IN THE LYRIC GRAVEYARD TO SEARCH FOR TESTAMENT
VERSE 3:
E
ALL THOSE CHISELED EPITAPHS
E
STARTED TO TRANSMIT
E
AN EIRE LAMP TO LIGHT THE PATH
E
SHOW HOW THE PIECES FIT
CHORUS:
A
BUT AMONG THE BRAMBLES AND BUSTED MONUMENTS
E
BESIDE THE WORK OF VANDALS WHO ALTER DOCUMENTS
B7
SOMETHING I'D LEFT FOR DEAD THAT I COULD REINVENT
E B7
IN THE LYRIC GRAVEYARD TO SEARCH FOR TESTAMENT
