Intro ( No chords played, but you can play a B major chord )

As the descent began I got the distinct impression 

Lake Michigan had been frozen for decades 

I conducted the warmth from my metronome sternum 

To our massive jetting vessel billowing plumes of spent fuel 


    B                           D#m
The tundra under us cracked and ruptured
             G#m
To reveal palisades
                  C#m 
Made of blades of gray, gray bristling grass 
    B
And papulose lichen 
D#m
I was so frightened 
      G#m
As my grip on you tightened 
      E
Your skin got slicker 

B                   D#m
I am a deserted bus depot 
           G#m
Though our approach suggested 
   C#m            B
An American hazy sea
               D#m 
Like the one I found inside
      G#m 
After driving you home once 
E
Still half high 

( B    D#m  G#m   C#m,  B  D#m   G#m   E )

B            D#m         G#m    C#m
I-90 through utter desolation
        B                         D#m                   G#m   E
I sense evil at the heart of each far flung well lighted home 
    B                  D#m      G#m       C#m
I close my eyes and see cellar stairways 
B                          D#m       G#m     E
Vermiculated with delicate animal bone 


B                             D#m
Musty rooms house racks of fur jackets 
               G#m
Spattered with plasma 
     C#m
On a bus in Indiana 
   B
I called you and screamed 
      D#m                    G#m        E      B 
Under ceaseless patterns of weeping light
