A                       F#m      
Ragged robbins for the curtain 
     D
call
A                         F#m    
Wrapped in ribbons on the trailer
        D
 door
A                       F#m
Carved initials in a concrete 
              D
footstall
A                 F#m          D
On the imitation marble floor
A                     F#m    
We're the boxtop admissions and 
       D
their throwaways,
A               F#m     D
Strewn across tobacco roads
A                    F#m         
With their wormwood shots and 
    D
their snake oil plots
A                  F#m            
Drunk sheepshank con men and their 
D
sycophants


A F#m D
And I
A        F#m              D
I often wonder if I've already died

[GUITAR DROPS OUT; Only bass/drums 
play for a frame]


A               F#m         D
Out at elbows by the encore

A                    F#m      D
But there's a citadel inside
A                          F#m   
Where I'll go and shape my heart 
        D
like yours,
A                  F#m      D
As you shape yours like mine
A                          F#m   
Where we're the spiraling arms of
         D
 all galaxies
A                      F#m       
And we're the microscopic sand
    D

A                         
Suffering from delusions of 
     F#m         D
ungrandeur on middling display
A                    F#m         
Beside the Cardiff giant with the
     D      A F#m D
 alabaster eyes


A         F#m            D     A
I often wonder if I've already 
 F#m D
died
A        F#m              D
I often wonder if I've already died,


[BRIDGE]: repeat 4x

A
Or if the 'I'
A
if the 'I'
A           D
is an unintelligible lie

[OUTRO]:

A
Off we flew like swarms of hornets
F#m              D
'Woken up' from winter's rest
A
To colonize with plastic pulp
      F#m               D
Our neighbor's perfect paper nest
A
While all year round potter wasp
      F#m          D
Has buzzed her unhinged song
A
You can hear its creaking in our 
floorboards
F#m                  D
Megalomania's only mania if you're 
wrong
