Em C F
i’ve been habitually rubbing the sleep from my eyes ,
F G Em Am
i see the rain does not respect state lines , why should you?
Em C F F G Am
and i’ve seen dirt dry fires arise by pissing boy fountain statues
C Em F Dm F G Em Am
and they say electricity , can travel up your piss stream
F G Em Am
oh Am i too concerned with the burn of scrutiny?
F G Em Am
cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race
Dm Am Em Am
will i gain weight in later life?
Dm Am Em Am F F C
and when will someone swing a scythe against me?
Dm Am Em Am
Dm Am Em Am F
C F
out of every woman on earth , who will i mate with?
F Dm F
or will i spit empty threats , until all that’s left , is a million zeros
G Em Am
printed on a roll of ticker – tape?
F G Em Am
and one last echo of the final tiny wave in my wake?
C F F G Em
will all my unused seed collect like mercury , in some kind of afterlife for
Am
halves?
C Dm F G Em Am
should i offer up my lats and pecs as stakes in death?
C G Dm Am ( Dm F G Am ) ?
whatever the will of the people shall be , ohio and me
F G Em Am
oh Am i too concerned with the burn of scrutiny?
F G Em Am
cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race
Dm Am Em Am
will i gain weight in later life?
Dm Am Em Am F F C
and when will someone swing a scythe against me?
Dm Am Em Am
Dm Am Em Am F
C F Dm
oh i’d rest in peace on a freshly cleaned and steamed plush carpet for sure ,
F G Em Am
in the vacant third floor of a department store
C F
or be hung with four nails on the projection wall
F G Em Am
in an empty convention center banquet hall
C F
that’s right , i’m like everybody else is
Dm F G Em Am
ashamed of sleep , i lie when a phone call wakes me
F G Em Am
but Am i too concerned with the burn of scrutiny?
F G Em Am
cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race
Dm Am Em Am
will i gain weight in later life?
Dm Am Em Am F F C
and when will someone swing a scythe against me?
Dm Am Em Am
