Intro

 I lEmisten to a lecture of nonsense till dawn

 By a plBmagiary poet with dark glasses on

 He said "Amhow did you ever dream up that song?

 The oBmne where the bBaby diesEm."

 I said "I'll tEmell you the secret which one's your good ear?

 Yeah, peBmople are made up of water and fear

 If there wAmeren't women present we wouldn't be here

 So lBmets make lBike we're frienEmds"

 And the Empot turned to powder and soured the mood

 And the pBmeople I'd come with were gone from the room

 So I aAmsked like a child "may I be excused?"

 AnBmd disobBeyed them alEml

 Into that lEmate night latrine rain soaking through my shoes

 I tBmried walking backwards to get less confused

 WorAmking off a theory I could never prove

 That it was lBmife itsBelf to blEmame

 And tAmime ruined the woEmrld

 Like a fAmailed revolEmution

 A tAmumor we could not reEmmove

 An old Csus2friend, a coBmnstant, the bEmlues

Em, Asus2, A♯/A♯sus2 x2

 Now my dEmays are distractions, sit wringing my hands

 SoBmlitaire, crosswords, and films on demand

 When you tAmurn from a cartoon back into a man

 You start to sBmmell that huBman smeEmll

 And so I slEmeep with the fan on to drown out the street

 And the nBmoise rising up from the bar underneath

 Well for tAmhat inconvenience all my drinks are free

 So I guBmess it's jBust as weEmll

 Why do I eEmnvy the ending right from the start

 Just Bmget it together to take it apart

 WAmatching the horse as it follows the cart

 I sBmweep up my bBroken speEmll

 And I fAmelt something changing the wEmorld

 Like a nAmew constiEmtution

 A thAmief I would have to pEmursue

 At all Csus2times, at all cBmosts, the trEmuth
