Lyrics

The secret codes, the marigolds
The twisted subway lines
The cheap motels, the dinner bells
The buzzing neon signs
The candy stores and filthy whores
The rotting picket fence
Somehow all this folderol 
Is starting to make sense

The splintered rope, the microscope
I thought I had it all figured out
The magazine, the TV screen
The faces burned with doubt
It swirled and twirled, this tiny world

Until it somehow all made sense  
This apple tree epiphany
This fleeting glimpse of common sense

    And now I抦 screaming on the crowded streets
    I抦 telling everyone I meet
    But no matter what try to I say, I抦 only whispering

The fire codes, the one-way roads
The government conspiracy
The thin fa鏰de, the red man抯 god
It all just seems to clear to me
The foreign places with the hungry faces
The broke-down Chevrolet
The race to see the ending
Past the stops on the way

    And now I抦 screaming on the crowded streets
    I抦 telling everyone I meet

    But no matter what I try to say, I抦 only whispering
    But no matter what I try to say, no one is listening

All I got抯 this same old plot
And a rusty set of strings
I抣l rehearse this same old verse
Until there抯 nothing left to sing

    But no matter what I try to say, I抦 only whispering
    But no matter what I try to say, nobody's listening
    But no matter what I try to say, I抦 only whispering

This song is one of those that I keep wishing I could get some sheet music for. I can't play the guitar, but I play other instruments, and I would love to know how to play this song.
