B
As the descent began I got the distinct impression

Lake Michigan had been frozen for decades

I conducted the warmth from my metronome sternum

To our massive jetting vessel billowing plumes of spent fuel


B                               D#m
The tundra under us cracked and ruptured
             G#m
To reveal palisades
                  C#m
Made of blades of gray, gray bristling grass
    E
And papulose lichen
B
I was so frightened
      E
As my grip on you tightened
      E
Your skin got slicker

B                   D#m
I am a deserted bus depot
           G#m
Though our approach suggested
   B7/D#      D#7  E
An American hazy sea
               C#m
Like the one I found inside
      E
After driving you home once
E
Still half high

I-90 through utter desolation
        B                         E                      B      E
I sense evil at the heart of each far flung well lighted home
    B               E               B      E
I close my eyes and see cellar stairways
B                     E                   G#m7 E
Vermiculated with delicate animal bone

B                             D#m
Musty rooms house racks of fur jackets
               G#m
Spattered with plasma
     C#m
On a bus in Indiana
   E
I called you and screamed
      B                     E        E
Under ceaseless patterns of weeping light
