(chord progression is Am, C, Dm, E)

I met her on a highway to nowhere,
My mouth was numb and my throat was dry,
Ain't need eyes to see there ain't nothin' left in the southwest,
I was chasin' butterflies and graspin' for the floor,
Lookin' for some cheap whores,

(Chord progression is now Am, C, E)

You'll run forevermore
Dreamin' of crystal shores
In the sands of the Sonora

La Llorona

(instrumental(Am))

(Am, C, Dm, E)

As my spirit floats away in a serpentine daze,
Floatin' towards that godless gray,
I learned to curse the day I was born,
Forlorn above the empty sands,
I can't see my hands as I drift away from these haunted lands,
As bonedust is lifted in the wind

(instrumental(Am))

(lightly palm muted, tremolo strumming Am, C, E)

And I fall into cosmic nothingness,
Weeds growin' tall,
Like the sun burns on,

I once met a cockroach,
He told me to envy the dead,
For we don't got long,

(solo(acoustic)(key of Am))

(Am, C, Dm, E again)

Lookin' back on all my years,
Watchin' my body grow old,
I sing a grave song for my fears,
Creepin' like mold, the end is near,

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Am, C, E, Em, E)

And baby I tell you, you'll run forevermore
Dreamin' of them crystal shores,
In the sands of the Sonora,

Oh, La Llorona.

(fade out instrumental)(Am key)

Play. Forge. Film.

This is the WORST possible place to come to ask for opinions on things that actually matter to you. Just for future reference. But yea they sound pretty good in my head.

All the world's for living when love is what you find
Despair and loneliness you've got to leave them far behind
Tell the clouds to go let the feeling show
It's great when life is full of living

Actually the most impressive thing I've seen on the Flood from a lyrical stand point. I can't really speak for how it may sound as I don't speak music, so those chords are gibberish to me.

It is amazing if you sing it with an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice, and accent.
