Lit up and shivering

An echo of home, on the edge of life

Shot through the veins of an angel
G-AM G
I'm a devil in exile
D F
But if you have forgotten
AM
Your precious mother tongue
G
What do you think your mother
D
Would say of what you've done?
F
And if you can't remember the place
Am G
You call a home, or having trouble placing
D Am G
Who's calling on the phone...

Dip the nose of the car to the sugar lines

Out to the desert

Under cinnamon hills and moonshine

He said 'what can I do to make you mine?'
F C
Kiss out the twang from my lips
G-Am G
On the way to big-time
D F
But if you have forgotten
AM
Your precious mother tongue
G
What do you think your mother

Would say of what you've done?

And if you can't remember the place
Am G
You call a home, or having trouble placing
D Am G
Who's calling on the phone...
