[Verse 1]
E C#m A E
O fraudulent mirror, O rank rainbow toad
E C#m A B
I'd break apart too if I knowed what you knowed
A F#sus2 B7/A Aadd9
I'd fall from the wall, I'd leap from the road
E C#m A E
You take cover in the clover, you don't shoulder the load
[Verse 2]
E C#m A E
Wagner and wife, drama and strife,
E C#m A B A F#sus2 B7/A B
Their syphilitic friend Dionysus is wise not to ask, "Where's Sunstroke House?"
E C#m A E
Where's a crow on the far fence? Where's a mill by the pond?
[Chorus 1]
E G#m7 B6 Aadd9 E G#m C#m B
Pale with horror I saw you when your bird flew
E G#m7 B6 Aadd9 E G#m C#m B
Now who in the whole low world has been kind to you?
E G#m7 B6 Aadd9 E C#m A E
Save for a kindly, ugly few? Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do
E C#m A E
Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do
[Verse 3]
E C#m A E
From the wind in the winter, no mercy, no quarter
E C#m A B7
From the summer no mercy and little goes well
A F#sus2 B7/A B
That's where you'll live, that's where you'll live
E C#m A E
Till a gale rips ya sails, till a will kills ya mill
[Verse 4]
E C#m A E E C#m Aadd9 B
Where have you been, my heat, my shadow? How well did you like the song?
A F#sus2 B7/A B
I filled it so full of nonsense and unrule
E C#m A E
You feel like there's something forgotten or fell
E C#m A E
You feel like there's something forgotten or fell
[Chorus 2]
E G#m7 B6 Aadd9 E G#m C#m B
Pale with horror I saw you when your bird flew
E G#m7 B6 Aadd9 E G#m C#m B
Now who in the whole low world has been kind to you?
E G#m7 B6 Aadd9 E C#m A E
Save for a kindly, ugly few? Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do
E C#m A E
Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do
E C#m A E
Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do
[Verse 5]
E C#m A E E C#m B
Pink lipped bub, golden haired sitting, portraits of withering roots
A F#sus2 Aadd9 B E C#m A E
Petty diversions, pointless excursions, pleasant distractions, underground mutes
