Why,
when I was knee -high to a grasshopper,
this black juice came out on a hard -shelled chin,
and they called that tobacco juice.
I used to fiddle with my back feet,
C
music for a black onyx.
G
My tar room absorbed every echo

The music was thud -like
G
The music was thud -like
I usually played such things as rough
neck and thug
Opaque melodies that
would bug most people
Music from the other side of the fence
A black swan figurine
lay on all color lily pads
On a little conglomeration table
of pressed black felt with
same color shadows
and seemed nominees in whatnots.
The long hallway rolled out into oddball odd
Em
A
G
beside the fly -pecked black
Esus4
doorway that
G
Looked closed on the tar -ladder street.
Abm
G
Up a wrought iron fire escape,
rolled out a tiny wooden platform
Em

A
with dark, hard, dark rubber wheels.
G
Rolled squeak, rolled squeaked,

rolled squeaked.
