DbmYou're a man of impeccable taste
And you Eknow when the AbX marks the Dbmspot
DbmWe all need a map for the trail of your thought
Where to Ego, well, the AbX marks the Dbmspot
AYou seem to have a misDbmgiving
Hell yeah, you make a Eliving
Don't add bricks to what we're Abheaving
AWe would so much
GbRather the Dbmenjoy beach, beer and a fire
CmYou think something somewhere
Has a copyright for the world
And you've Ebsigned where the GX marks the Cmspot
CmYou join a cult, fill the void that you've got
Deep withEbin where the GX marks the Gmspot
AbThere you stand n' talk and Cmholler
How dark are all your Ebcolors
When you paint another Gsunrise
AbYou leave Ebout the CsuBbn
BbBirds like you fly straight to Fheaven, Cheaven
BbOr they slowly float away...
DbmHow well do you know those you're calling your own?
I mean..E. come on dude! AbX marks the Dbmspot
DbmYour starving soul in your house of skin and bone
You're an Eisland, the AbX marks the Dbmspot
GThere you stand n' talk and Bmholler
How dark are all your Dcolors
When you paint another Gbsunrise
