Split Boulders

by Mike Moxcey

Manhattan, NY October 1974

hard rock beat A-part:

G / / C /A / | C / / G / Bb/A/G|
G / / C /A / | C / / G / / |
D / / / G

A: Split boulders fallen apart
see them and I see my mind.
Cool water drips, lichens grow
old patterns rip, dear friends go.
We all fall apart in time.

A: Dead trees laying on the ground
decaying just like my mind.
Green fungus grows, mushrooms come,
time stops to pose, feelings numb.
We all fall apart in time.

B: We can waste our money on a real cheap high.
We can waste it on a rainy day.
We can waste our lives working nine to five,
we can waste it wasted away.

chorus:
Blotter acid shift my gears
grind away the rust.
High speed think in a low gear world
body will not adjust.
Time fabric sheds in overdrive
I see us in the dust.

B: We can waste our lives trying to change the world,
we can waste it trying to hide.
We can waste our souls searching for a god,
we can waste it searching inside

chorus

A: Old bodies getting tired
see them and I see my mind.
Joints weaken, cancer grows
secrets leaking, eyesight goes.
We all fall apart in time.
