    Verse 1
    Dig 
    around 
    in 
    the 
    garbage 

    Save 
    up 
    some 
    halibut 
    bones 
    in 
    a jar 

    Scrape 
    a 
    winter's 
    worth 

    of salt 
    deposits 

    From the 
    rusty 
    frame 
    of 
    my 
    car 

    Ask 
    the 
    ex
    perts 

    Maybe 
    they'll 
    know 


    Verse 2
    Call 
    up my 
    teacher 
    in 
    Cambridge 

    See 
    what he 
    remembers 

    Throw 
    white phosphorus 

    in the 
    fireplace 

    Look for 
    clues 
    in the 
    embers 

    Call 
    the 
    hotline 

    Give them 
    a phony 
    last name

    Try 
    to find

    strychnine

    Verse 5

    Time's 
    running 
    short 

    Always 
    seems 
    to 
    run 
    shorter 

    Have 
    some supplies 
    sent 

    From 
    up 
    just 
    past 
    the northern 
    border 

    Keep 
    a line 
    out 

    To the 
    people 
    who 
    take 
    the 
    long 
    view 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    Only 
    share 
    my 
    research 

    With 
    sick 
    lab 
    rats 
    like 
    me 

    Trapped 
    behind 
    the 
    beakers 

    And the 
    Erlenmeyer flasks 

    Cut 
    off from 
    the 
    world, 

    I 
    may 
    not 
    ever 
    get 
    free 

    But 
    I 
    may 

    One 
    day

    Verse 9
    So 
    many 
    suffer
    ing 
    from 

    the same 
    affliction 

    Coming 
    up 
    on 

    a breakthrough 

    The clock's 
    ticking 

    Dig 
    down 
    amongst 
    my 
    calculations 

    Check 
    my 
    map 

    Up 
    there 
    on 
    the surface 

    Everybody's 
    getting 
    ready 

    for 
    the 
    bloodbath 

    Stem 
    the tide, 
    stem 
    the tide 

    They're 
    calling 
    down 
    for 

    reinforce
    ments 

    Verse 10

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
