Standard (EADGBE)

I left a trail of myself

every place that I have been through ,

And going bald is the most manly thing

that I'm ever gonna do.

I tell the ear th, "thanks for the hair,

thanks for the skin, thanks for the bone" ,

Though I now sl owly give it back

I still appreciate the loan.

Just te ll me that you like me

in the same sentence as a mountain side.

'Cause it would be

such a relief to be objectified.

'Cause who s ays it's so important

to sort through these thoughts of ours .

Maybe be that's w hy we love to try

to see ourselves from the outside

In photographs and videos and diaries and mirrors .

'Cause i t would be

such a relief to be objectified.

And the c losest that I ever got

still seems to l eave a lot to go,

but the h orizon seems to be a place

that nob ody can know.

Lo oking forth and looking back,

our v ision can't extend

bey ond the quaint vanishing points

our b odies' recommend,

and I'll h elp you move some furniture

so mewhere it's never been before,

but the r oom's so small the dresser drawer

won't l et us get back out the door.

Just t ell me that you like me

in the same se ntence as the building.

It would be such a rel ief to see

I'm just a natural thing.

We're only boats ,

And the boats are only empty

And you can't bl ame an empty boat

that's on a river to the sea .

You can't bl ame a billion boats

without a sail, without a sailor .

And that's h ow we look

in photographs, and diaries, and mirrors .

And the pl ants turn into ants,

and the an ts turn into plants,

And childr en are clumsy people,

and old pe ople are rotting Children.

And I sti ll don't have a cell phone,

but this sea shell gets Reception,

And the oc ean won't stop calling,

and I wa nt a restraining order.

Just t ell me that you like me

in the same se ntence as a building.

It would be such a rel ief to see

I'm just a natural thing .

We're just a natural thing .

Just like anything .
