C
I wake up in the morning and I drink from the fountain.
C
I wake up in the morning with the same unanswered questions.
         F                    G                C
I don't know what's going to cure my unsettled stomach.
C
Street kids collect spare change in a conch shell on the side walk;
C
Their teeth are yellow, their hair is tangled.
         F                    G                     C
Their minds are vapid and they laugh wild in their depravity.
 
 
D               G                    C               F
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
D                      G          C           F
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
C          F
I want to smash them all.
 
 
C
Pony tails swinging back and forth behind beach blonde college girls out for a jog.
       F                      G              C
Saint Augustine, shine your light down on me!
C
Pop hits from the 90's echo out of tourist filled bars.
                                 F                 G                        C
I am met with arms crossed under dirty looks, I am treated like a common thief.
 
D               G                    C               F
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
D                      G          C           F
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
C          F
I want to smash them all.
 
 
Eaves-dropping in on conversation, I wander aimless leering at strangers.
F                         G                       C
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me.
 
Eye-balled with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels,
 
You realize that you're talking to yourself.
F               G
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay.
 
 
D               G                    C               F
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
D                      G          C           F
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
D                 G                  C                 F                
Looking for context and perspective, looking for some kind of distraction.
D                     G           C          F        
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
C          F
I want to smash them all.
