Make Nice
Song A Day #1563

G   D
Push the rock up the hill
G   C
A little further each day
G  D  C
And remember you're an animal
If you feel like these
Are steps you've retraced
It's because you have been here before 
In the shining morning
And the warm dark night
You won't find any relief from impatience
The tree is hollowed out
And it's sending smoke signals
And the only ones that see them are aliens 

Em     C
I heard you're headed back to rehab my friend
Em    D
It's our lot in life as women and men

 
G D G C G Em D 
To make nice

When the turning of the earth
Is making you dizzy
Just revel in your miscalibration
The changing of the seasons
Is making you hazy
The moon sleeps low never waking
You fell off your bike
And you lost your thumb
They put it back on unopposable
Now you're a mutant
Sniffing up crumbs
Trying to know the unknowable

00 I heard you got a job ringing them bells
It's our lot in life as clusters of cells

You are ok 
and not ok
You hold in your brain these contradictions 
No single heart
Can satiate 
You never shut up to listen
It's the bones that we carry
That aren't really ours
It's the endless supply of medicine 
I'm shedding my skin
And dropping these bones
All of my instincts jettisoned 

I heard you were in closets, sucking up ghosts
It's our lot in life as parasite hosts
