Sirens

F C F C F The good people built those houses with their hands C And taught their daughters to play on tin drum sets F While an old man put a grandkid on the piano C And they played chopsticks until their hands went dead F C And cats were thrown off the backs of trucks and ambled up the yard to us F Singin' all I want is a bed to lie in lovin' arms for me to die in Bb And the garbage man took the cans he can with Mrs. Van Holzer C If he wants to no he can't, no he can't 'cus he's a married man Bb And if Mr. Van Holzer found out, with his short temper C You know what he will do? F And she was singing true but the garbage man's the only one can dance real blue F And pretty soon the fire trucks and ambulance were singing too F C They were singin ooo... F C They were singin ooo... F C So if you move out west it's best to keep a very close eye on your kids and pets F Cus big birds have been known to dive C And carry those precious things to heavy heights F And drop them in a field C F While sad sisters all come down to kneel and hold their hands to their hearts C They've learned to lock all of the things they love up Bb Yeah they were cryin C They were lyin in the fields Bb C They were singin from the places where they kneeled C Yeah they were singin C They were singin F C They were singin ooo... F C They were singin ooo... Bb Someone in my head said when all you have is land things C with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat Bb C All you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat Bb C When all you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat Bb C When all you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat C And the garbage men, and the ambulance F C Oh lovin sisters, tin drum sets C Married women and their men C They all were singin F C They were singin ooo... F C They were singin ooo...
