G
red visitor
C                            G
can't you read the signs
G
factories and barracks
C                                G
and all the railway cars

       Am                          Am/B
they wanted you here
     C                     G
to see you through the smoke
          Am
holding out her hand
                           G
in a lithographic post

G
androgyny
C                           G
it's written on the walls
G
but this ain't industry
C                                  G
just a holiday of gray

they wanted you here
to see you through the smoke
they may laugh all day
but this is not a joke

G
you may be the same
C                           G
through telegraphs and bars
G
bold and colored wings
C                                G
fly north into the scars


they wanted you here
to see you through the smoke
a blue jean mystery
and hang on to the cold
