Chalk It up to Chi Lyrics

I am on a train, you are on the road
Ear down to the track feeling out communication
I am on the rail, you are kneeling still
Ear down to the rail for a whale call, elemental communication

You're a sorry black boot, I'm a shiny marble

I am old and stone, you are mossy green
I could be your home, but you've gone and overgrown it
I could be your home, you won't keep it clean
Greedy as a grain in a rainfall, elemental communication

I'm a sorry black boot, you're a shiny marble
I'm a shiny marble, you're a sorry black boot
You lost your marble in your sorry black boot
You shine 'em up, you get your swagger shiny black
You shine 'em up, you get your shiny marble back

[Whistling]

Could we just agree? Chalk it up to chi?
Sing around the roots and I'll sing along the leaf tops
I could be your home, fuck with you for fun
Laugh until it hurts with a friend first, elemental communication

I'm a shiny marble, you're a sorry black boot
You lost your marble in your sorry black boot
You shine 'em up, you get your swagger shiny black
You shine 'em up, you get your shiny marble back
I'm a shiny marble, you're a sorry black boot
You lost your marble in your sorry black boot
You shine 'em up, you get your swagger shiny black
You shine 'em up, you get your shiny marble back

Do doo doo, do doo doo, doo dooo
Do doo doo, do doo doo, doo dooo
Do doo doo, do doo doo, doo dooo
Do doo doo, do doo doo

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
