Should never’ve left the crystal lake

The party’s full of folks who flake
Dm
Italian leather winter games

Retired by the duraflames
C5
The crystal lake it only laughs

It knows you’re just a modern man

Shining like a chandelier

Shining somewhere far away from here

Intro riff

Verse:
Should never’ve left the crystal lake
For areas where trees are fake
The dogs are dead with broken hearts
Collapsed by the coffee carts
The crystal lake it only laughs
It knows you’re just a modern man
Shining like a chandelier
Shining somewhere far away from here

Chorus
