Make Your Own Cross

Make Your Own Cross

Make Your Own Cross


From the album, ” Lights in the Night” 1980


E
She come in many colours
Carbon copy girl
Face of painted virtue
A banner to unfurl
F# 
Solid social breeding
G           A
Aristocratic stock
E                 B
Historical orator
                           E
With one eye on the clock

E
A gardener of theory
Harvester of facts
A sower of religion
Quick to use the axe
F#
She drown herself in questions
G                 A
Of static, past years
E                        B
Is staggered by the answers
E
And blinded by the tears
And deaf in both her ears


 E
Make your own cross
C
Make your own cross
A                           D
Don't sit on someone else
 E
Make your own cross
C
Make your own cross
A                           D
She told him from her cell

C                      C,b
Don't wait to be unburdened
Am                         G
Don't wait to hear the bell
C
Make your own cross
    D                                         E       D E
And make it to the other side of hell

E
She ride the social climate
And charge from left to right
A multitude of heroes
To guide her to the light
F#
By mental acrobatics
G          A 
And living inside out
E                           B
She trailblaze to the doorway
E
In triumph and full shout
And always gets locked out

 E
Make your own cross
C
Make your own cross
A                           D
Don't sit on someone else
 E
Make your own cross
C
Make your own cross
A                           D
She told him from her cell

C                      C,b
Don't wait to be unburdened
Am                         G
Don't wait to hear the bell
C
Make your own cross
    D                                         E       D 
And make it to the other side of hell
 
Em                     D
She makes her own cross and she
C                       B                       Em
Hangs there for all the world to see
Em                     D
She makes her own cross as she
C                                      B
Locks up her mind and says I'm free


Em                   Dm
She cries out from her conscience
C                 D
An everlasting scream
Em                   Dm
The weekend revolution
C                 D
The winner by a dream
F#
She drive herself on edges
G           A
And round the bend as well
E                        B
But if lunacy's a factor
                             E
She'll make it to the other side of...

Make your own cross
Make your own cross
And whistle to the wind
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
The end where you begin
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
She told them all to give
Make your own cross
Make your own cross
Don't die
Before
You live

She makes her own cross and she
Hangs there for all her friends to see
She makes her own cross as she
Locks up her mind and says I'm free

She makes her own cross and she
Hangs there for all the world to see
She makes her own cross as she
Locks up her mind and says I'm free
