From the recording Out of Print
Lyrics
Saving Grace (capo on 2nd fret in B)
G D
I buy a woman’s smile served with a coffee drink.
G C
Southbound lane traffic blurs, each face a ghostly blink.
Home is a virtual place on a memory drive.
Nike Synch tells me that I’m barely still alive.
Refrain
D C G
Each corner has a bar and we all plug in.
My seat’s like a parking place.
I lock it up tight but roll the windows down
D C D G
And try to find my saving grace.
True Love is by the dock smoking a cigarette.
Rock bands are network geeks trying hard to forget.
YouTube has no applause ringing in your ears.
Where is that dope perfume calming all our fears?
Refrain
I run up the escalator. Can’t talk now. Call me later.
Reboot and update now. Boss screaming Holly Cow.
White sharks of data swim. Daydreaming’s the new sin.
Screen Savior hear my prayer. I’m coming up for air.
Refrain
