[Verse]
Dsus4
Toward the tail-end of the age that's almost finished
Dsus4
Where the highway starts to crack and nobody fixes it
Dsus2  (add6)
I was wandering through an undeveloped tract
D
Out near the ocean
Dsus4
One-hundred acres, we will build to suit
Dsus4
See what there is to see before it's gone
Dsus2
Somebody's always just about
Dsus4                 D
To put some kind of awful plan in motion


G
Eastern red cedars, and the pines
G
And suddenly an elevated stone slab
G                                   D
In what must have been a clearing once

G
Try to recognize the signals and the signposts
             G F# Em D
My curiosity
Em   D                    Asus4      A
Will likely always get the best of me


D
It's like that one thing
                      E
My Dad kept trying to tell me
       G
As the twilight
                         D
Inched its way on up his body
D        E        G        D
Get out, get out, get out, get out

Dsus4
Well of course I climbed atop the slab and I lay down on it
Dsus4
I am a child
Dsus4
I had my face toward the sky
Dsus4                                    D
Lying there in the sun with both my eyes closed

Dsus4
Woke up in near darkness
Dsus4
What the hell is wrong with me
Dsus4
Volunteer pines in their hundreds in the dusk like military tentpoles


G
Let my eyes adjust
G
Try to read the markings on the slab
G                                                          D
Weird alphabets I felt sure I hadn't seen, just before I passed out
G
Stars growing brighter
G
Me looking up
       G      F#     Em          D
Like a lobster in a cage down in the depths
                              Asus4
Beneath the bottom of a glass boat


               D
And I heard a voice
                              E
From somewhere out beyond the free fall
       G
Like a captive soldier
                             D
He's just trying to warn his brothers
D        E        G        D
Get out, get out, get out, get out
