              C                   G
No picnic no barbecue out in the back
            C                           G
A yard for parked cars left to rot and forget
                C                    G
For chained-up mad dogs for garbage to sit
              F   G           C
Get lost get lost a part from it

Chorus:
               Am
I can't see through it
               G
But I can see past
                C
With me with me always
              Em F Am G
Without going back

Just people and buildings
Not city or town
Great lake crooked river
Flat land water burns
The air not smoke
It tears the eye
Home is where you live
Home is where you'll die

Chorus

In a glacial slide
Over ice mirrored glace
In a slip and past times
Are in the future brought back
Reflected reflected reflected
Every footstep

No walk in the park
No there i nowhere
No place can replace
What a clear eye reveals
Soft and hard shaped like a wheel
Made me of rubber made me of steel

Chorus
