Dm
Just nGow I see it so clear
Total shCift in the unconscious
When at the sDmtart it seems like fates
Have set it Gup like so much magic
Just a ruCse to get you in there
Seems like a sDmpell
And all they talk as if it's coGme to fill those spaces
Only yCou can fill those spaces
So when the paFrty goes
It breaks a brittle bGack
They back they back
And they keep on rubCbing in
How a proper chest is clDmean
That ain't it
If it comGes to fill those spaces
Only yCou can fill those spaces
So when the paFrty goes
It breaks a brittle bGack
They back they back
And they keep on ruCbbing in
How a proper chest is cAmlean
That ain't it
Touch a hCand
That ain't it
With a Dmwig on
That ain't it
It's a prAmomise from some lips
When you touch a haCnd
That ain't it
With a wDmig on
That ain't it
Making nAmoise not making songs
When you touch a hCand
That ain't it
With a Dmwig on
That ain't it
It might seem they making songs
Now they reGally making noise
Total shCift in the unconscious
When at the sDmtart it seems like fates
Have set it Gup like so much magic
Just a ruCse to get you in there
Seems like a sDmpell
And all they talk as if it's cGome to fill those spaces
Only yoCu can fill those spaces
So when the paFrty goes
It breaks a brittle bGack
They back they back
And they keep on rubCbing in
How a proper chest is cDmlean
That ain't it
If it's coGme to fill those spaces
Only yoCu can fill those spaces
So when the paFrty goes
It breaks a brittle bGack
They back they back
And they keep on ruCbbing in
How a proper chest is cAmlean
That ain't it
Touch a hCand
That ain't it
With a Dmwig on
That ain't it
It's a prAmomise from some lips
When you touch a haCnd
That ain't it
With a wDmig on
That ain't it
Making nAmoise not making songs
When you touch a hCand
That ain't it
With a Dmwig on
That ain't it
It might seem they making songs
Now they reGally making noise
Total shCift in the unconscious
You'll trip Dmup again
You'll trip Gup again
Go get Cup again
You'll trip Dmup again
You'll trip Gup again
Go get Cup again
You'll trip Dmup again
You'll trip Gup again
Go get Cup again
You'll trip Dmup again
You'll trip Gup again
Go get Cup again

Just now I see it so clear

Total shift in the unconscious

When at the start it seems like fates

Have set it up like so much magic

Just a ruse to get you in there

Seems like a spell

And all they talk as if it's come to fill those spaces

Only you can fill those spaces

So when the party goes

It breaks a brittle back

They back they back

And they keep on rubbing in

How a proper chest is clean

That ain't it

If it comes to fill those spaces

Only you can fill those spaces

So when the party goes

It breaks a brittle back

They back they back

And they keep on rubbing in

How a proper chest is clean

That ain't it

Touch a hand

That ain't it

With a wig on

That ain't it

It's a promise from some lips

When you touch a hand

That ain't it

With a wig on

That ain't it

Making noise not making songs

When you touch a hand

That ain't it

With a wig on

That ain't it

It might seem they making songs

Now they really making noise

Total shift in the unconscious

When at the start it seems like fates

Have set it up like so much magic

Just a ruse to get you in there

Seems like a spell

And all they talk as if it's come to fill those spaces

Only you can fill those spaces

So when the party goes

It breaks a brittle back

They back they back

And they keep on rubbing in

How a proper chest is clean

That ain't it

If it's come to fill those spaces

Only you can fill those spaces

So when the party goes

It breaks a brittle back

They back they back

And they keep on rubbing in

How a proper chest is clean

That ain't it

Touch a hand

That ain't it

With a wig on

That ain't it

It's a promise from some lips

When you touch a hand

That ain't it

With a wig on

That ain't it

Making noise not making songs

When you touch a hand

That ain't it

With a wig on

That ain't it

It might seem they making songs

Now they really making noise

Total shift in the unconscious

You'll trip up again

Go get up again

You'll trip up again

Go get up again

You'll trip up again

Go get up again

You'll trip up again

Go get up again
