C#m                          C 
    At the refreshment stand 
C#m                            C 
    A boy throws out his hands 
C#m                             C 
    As if to feed the starlings 
C#m                              C 
    But really he throws nothing 
D                                G 
    It's just to watch them jump 
D                         G 
    See the people coming 
C#m                               C 
    They're moving over the grass 
C#m                                C 
    To squeeze into plastic chairs

C#m                           C 
    Three notes, a bugle call 
C#m                         C 
    A black man in overalls 
C#m                            C 
    Arrives to empty the trash 
C#m                           C 
    Hauls it to a metal hatch 
D                      G 
    A doorway opens up 
D                     G 
    To the underworld 
C#m                            C 
    The boy throws empty hands 
C#m                        C 
    And the starlings jump
