  PARAKEET

  

  Bm	               Em

  You wake up in the morning

      Bm	             Em

  And fall out of your bed

  Bm	      Em

  Mean cats eat parakeets

      D          C      B

  And this one's nearly dead.

      Bm	                       Em

  You dearly wish the wind would shift

      Bm	           Em

  And greasy windows slide

  SBm	     Em

  Open for the parakeet

        D	      C	     B

  Who's colored bitter lime.

  

  Em	     C

  Open the window

      Am	           B

  And lift into your dreams

  Em	C

  Lately, baby

      Am	       B

  You can barely breathe.

  

  A broken wrist an accident

  You know that something's wrong

  You fold the leavings of your past

  No one knows you've gone.

  The sunspot flares of the early

  Nineties light up your wings.

  And scan the short-wave radio

  It's tracking outer rings.

  

  The tectonic dispatcher shifts

  To smooth the ocean floor

  And flattens out to warmer winds

  Of Brisbane's sunny shore.

  Where buddhas tend to mending wrists

  A tea made from the leaves

  Of eucalyptus fragrances

  And coriander seeds.

  

  You wake up in the morning

  To warm pacific breeze

  Where mean cats chew on licorice

   And cannot climb the trees.

  

  Open the window

  And lift into a dream

  Baby, baby

  Baby starts to breathe.
