Counterfeit Florida Plates

Steal some sunscreen from the CVS
G       A    D                    A
Use too much and make a great big mess
D                          G       A       
Wait where shadows mask or hide my scent
G                 A       D                     D
So many so-called friends working for the government


                F#m
Dig through the trash
             
Sleep on the grates

And watch for the cars
                             D
With the counterfeit Florida plates


D                       G                A
Scribble cyphers on the library bathroom wall

Can't quite catch them all



Calculate magnetic North

Turn the other way

Wait for the coming disaster

I could do this all day



Dig through the trash

Sleep on the grates

And watch for the cars

With the counterfeit Florida plates



It's seems like everyone's cut me free

And left me to the tender cares of my faceless enemy



Feel so hungry

Probably pass out soon

Look for a tree to lean up against

Whistle a tuneless tune



This may be the night

My point men finally come

Wait for the fog to catch up with me

So I can at least feel numb



Dig through the trash

Sleep on the grates

And watch for the cars

With the counterfeit Florida plates

With the counterfeit Florida plates

With the counterfeit Florida plates
