G                                 C
   Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
   G
   Moonlight spills on comic books
       Bm            C
   And superstars in magazines
     G                                       C
   An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
        G
   Her plane takes off from Baltimore
        Bm             C
   And touches down on Bourbon Street

      G               C
   We sit outside and argue all night long
    G
   About a god we've never seen
       Bm             C
   But never fails to side with me
   G                C
   Sunday comes and all the papers say
   Bm
   Ma Teresa's joined the mob
        C
   And happy with her full time job

   G
   Do do do do doo do
      G          C
   Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
        G
   Does summer come for everyone?
       Bm           C
   Can humans do as prophets say?
        G         C
   And if I die before I learn to speak
        G                           Bm
   Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
        C
   But half asleep?

   G
   Do do do do doo do x 2

     G                  C
   A life is time, they teach us growing up
       G
   The seconds ticking killed us all
     Bm              C
   A million years before the fall
        G                 C
   You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
       G
   You swim like lions through the crest
        Bm               C
   And bathe yourself on zebra flesh

   G
   I've been downhearted baby,
   I've been downhearted baby,
                  Bm     C
   Ever since the day we met

(repeat)

As always, this is an interpretation of O'Connor's brilliant song. Corrections, btab,
are welcome.
