Crane Your Neck

The picking is a bit tricky to convey in tablature, so check out a live performance to get an idea of how it's done. The main thing is getting the rhythm right with the quick mute, and lifting your finger on and off the string during the chord. I've also been working on a powertab version in case anyone is interested in that. I'll probably edit this with a link to the file once it's done.

raindrops in a bucket I used to have a pretty nice spine but I neglected to give it a name So each time I tried to straighten it, I couldn't get its attention And I placed my palm upon your collarbone and I wished to fall asleep deep in your marrow As gently as a mouse curled up in a ball as gently as a mouse until tomorrow

included all our jewelry And we ran hand in hand back when you brought out the beast in me The parts that are dormant, I wish to set them free And in the clarity of this night I make myself believe I can sleep easily alone But there's a hunger under my skin and its gripping at my bones There's a hunger like a lion's and it's ripping right through my bones

goddamn joke how we can hurt even in the sun For a heart beats the best in a bed beside the one that it loves Yes, a heart beats the best when in a head, death becomes irrelevant Cause if you're dreaming about dying, then you're not really living darling You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it And if you're crying by the moon, in the sun you better lift up that chin
