Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
I gotta lot of people telling me I smell like the dead
Apparently they cannot see that I'm already walking 'round without a head
I gotta problem with the object of the ongoing game
Set the self upon the shelf and drag your shell through the day
But look at all the stars, we've come so far
Even if we don't know where we are, it's gotta be somewhere great
Or am I just too tired to wink?
I've seen a thousand towns without an ounce of hot irony
It leaves me begging for aesthetics
Please offend someone sweet in front of me
I'm sloughing brains, I'm sloughing brain cells everyday
Smearing the globe my lobe frontally frayed, hey 'eh!
Look at all the stars, we've come so far
Even if we don't know where we are, it's gotta be somewhere great
Man, I don't even know what you're saying
But I can't wait for more of this to come my way
'Cos you take what you get and you try not to think
Or am I just too tired to wink?
I store a cyclops for a week with hard-tack in the clink
If ever he would bat a lid I thought it was a wink
But the world is flush with monocular mush and dingbats to despise
You find they're not thinking, just narrowly blinking
But never quite cleaning their eyes
(chords in the chorus can be played over the solo)
We've come so far, even if we don't know where we are
It's gotta be somewhere great
Man, I don't even know what you're saying
But I can't wait for more of this to come my way
'Cos you take what you get and you try not to think
Or am I just too tired, or am I just too tired to wink?
