E
[Verse 1]
EF#
Well I can see my teenage father standing straight on a desolate corner,
ABE
In the shadow of tentacle towers by the red light of America, oh.
F#AB
I imagine how his mother felt when she heard that her husband was dying,
EF#A
And that underground heroes of the tarmac shooting smack were blowing up worlds
BE
And damned out loud.
F#B
Hey, can you tell me how does it feel?
[Chorus]
AEB
Yeah, tell me, Can you imagine, for a second,
EA
Doing anything that you don't have to?
EB
Well that's what I'm accustomed to so hooray for me.
[Verse 2]
EF#
When I slept with stony faces on the riverbank.
ABE
My angeldevil reveller shook me desperately in dying.
F#B
I don't exactly want to apologize for anything.
EF#
And now we're all mad,
A
And tangled,
B
In secret rooms,
E
With roman candles,
F#B
On an endless graveyard train,
[Chorus]
AEB
Yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second,
EA
Doing anything just 'cuz you want to?
EB
Well, that's just what I do so hooray for me
[Verse 3]
EF#AB
I was dreaming through the howzlife, yawning, car black in my mind,
EF#AB
when she told me mad and meaningless as ever.
EF#AB
And a song came on my radio like a cemetery rhyme,
EF#BA
For a million crying corpses in their tragedy of respectable existence.
[Chorus]
EB
Can you imagine, for a second,
EA
Trying half the things, you ever wanted to?
EB
Well, that's just what I do so hooray for me.
AEB
Oh, yeah, I'm unrespectable, never sensible,
EA
Maybe incredible, so damned irascible.
EB
And I like the things I do so hooray for me
E
And fuck you.
