Blackbird Chain - Beck

Give me traces of your lifeblood flowing

In a loving cup

And tell me I’m dream dream dream dreaming

And I’ll never wake up:

A keepsake in a dresser drawer

From who-knows-where

A symbol of your exegesis

And a full-length mirror

I’ll never never never never never never refuse you

I’ll never never never never never never refuse you

My blackbird chain

My blackbird chain

My blackbird chain

My blackbird

Chain

An SOS from an outpost there

And a common air

Now I could read you a brief account

Of a last frontier

We could come to understand what’s wrong

As right as rain

At rock bottom of a hollowed ground

Restake your claim
