If God wills this time tomorrow, bound for Boise via plane

(willful mispronunciation of my destination’s name)
A G A Bm
I’d like to write a sequel to “the State That I am in” [sic]
[Verse 2]
Bm G
If God wills this time tomorrow in the early morning rain
Bm G
I’ll unpack the boots I borrowed and turn back the way I came
A G A Bm
I’d like to write a sequel to “the State I am in”
A G
And I’d like to call the song New Wine, New Skins

Em Em7 (4x)
[Verse 3]
Bm
Come, unfastening android limbs
A
In the moonlight through translucent skin
G
Now we’ve both been there and back again
Em7 A
To the state that I’m no longer in
Bm
With carbon fiber lips whereby
A
Came thought reflex personified
G
Now a scorpion in the sky, harmless as a butterfly
Em7 A
You can pin and mount me likewise!
Bm
If you fail first, some warm, bright day
A
I’ll unperform at your unmarked grave
G
And you can tell me what those eyes have seen
Em7 A
But for now the Creek-don’t-rise routine
Bm
With churning engine, fix my head
A
Up north in the Gold Fork riverbed
G
From the misuse of intelligence
A G
And all I wish I’d said pours out
Em7
New wine, new skins
[Chorus]

“God’s will” or “come what fortune gives”

Or is this truly how you’d choose to live?

G
Is this truly how you choose to live?
