Cm
The painted faces congregate
Bb              Cm
In the mating season
    Cm
To second homes
     Cm
They go alone
Bb             Cm
In no rush to leave 'em

[Chorus]
                 Fm
And there's a fountain
         G
And a scimitar
Cm              Fm
Shaped yellow light
                  G
That picks you up
                    Cm
And cuts you down to size

[Instrumental]
Cm  Cm  Cm  Cm

[Verse]
Cm
The people there
Cm
And the furniture
Bb              Cm
Start to seem important
       Cm
And a whole lot more
     Cm
You catch the floor
         Bb        Cm
With a vivid and absorbant

[Chorus]
           Fm
Sharpened arc
        G
Like the scimitar
Cm            Fm
Shaped yellow light
                   G
That picks you up
                     Cm
And cuts you down to size

                        Fm
I had questions for the tap dancer
 Fm
Sat on my lap
              Cm                      Fm
And she had child proof caps on her answers
 Fm            
Stolen blower blow me a stone
     Cm                     Fm
And show me that handsome enhancer
           Fm
She had a rock on her throttle
       Fm
And a brown glass bottle full of
Cm 
Shavings from the sun
          Fm
Although those shoes affect your step
        G
Don't forget, whose legs you're on
Cm

[Chorus]
Fm
And there's a fountain
         G
And a scimitar
Cm              Fm
Shaped yellow light
                  G
That picks you up
                    Cm
And cuts you down to size
