Key of A
Intro Ano3
Verse 1
Ano3
Mama died young giving birth to a son in a home for wayward girls
Papa was a sidewalk, soapbox preacher looking forward to the end of the
world
Dno3
Every friday night he'd pick Jesus a fight down at the local pool hall
Ano3
Racking up souls, condemning all those caught behind the eightball
He said "[E]I preach the light, the light shows the way, don't ever trust what
the government say
Ano3 (mute)
we never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's
all in your head"
Verse 2
Ano3
Lucy was a messed up, dressed up waitress with a slightly tarnished heart of
gold
She wasn't half bad for a new step mama, as far as step mama's go
Dno3
Daddy knew she was the one as he baked in the sun in a parking lot preaching
the truth
Up shot her hand and she cried, oh man "I feel it, yes, I feel it, I do"
It's b[E]een revealed to me down deep in my soul there were two shooters on the
grassy knoll
Ano3 (mute)
We never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's
all in your head
Let us sing...
Chorus
[D]It's all interpre[A]tation
to f[G]ind the truth you gotta r[D]ead between the [A]lines
Work o[D]ut your own salva[A]tion[D]
that n[A]arrow path is h[G]ard to define
D A C D A (after 1st Chorus)
Heaven's more than a place it's a state of mind
Verse 3
Ano3
In his quest for truth, Daddy was moved by the spirit to take up a snake
In a moment of doubt the venom turned out stronger than Daddy's faith
Dno3
I'll never forget in his dying breath the last words that he said
Ano3 (mute)
"We never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's
all in your head"
Let me tell ya...
Chorus
[End] A C D A (Repeat & Fade)
