                             STRUCK MATCHES - Bop English
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EStruck matches filling corners of a window sill
Born camp with the sickness leaning perfectly still
Against a Ddead moon kill
Bound Aby the desires that I feel along the way of the great big hell
ENow I seen you talk down from a borrowed throne
Oh if you had a nickel for every chance that you’d blown
You’d set Dout for a week on the sea for a leaving A  
fresh company
EI like to imagine a killing spree 
Where every victim is me and all the jokers you see 
on the scrDeens the machines they’re reviving the scenes and the Ameans for you
many fabric conflicts
DI see a walking Edisaster
DOnly just fade aEway
DI see a walking Edisaster
DWhat’s he going to have to Esay?
DWhat’s he going to have to Esay?
EBuilt you a filter that you keep in your room 
under a box or a mattress with a golden spoon
You press Dholes in your gloom and breathe in all the fumes 
Getting dAeeply in tune and waiting the next wave of attack
ENow you’re digging in the icebox for something to have
wrapped in tin foil and shoved way in the back 
sits a Dmemory of ten dozen laughs
SAomebody’s suggesting you got the kind of hunger that you just can’t feed
EI like coffee and you like tea
We want to make a little money but you can’t sell me
There ain’t Dnothing free that can cause somebody something but Awe
we all already all knew that
DI see a walking Edisaster
DOnly just fade Eaway
DLookie here a walking Edisaster
DWhat’s he going to have to Esay?
DWhat’s he going to have to Esay?
DWhat’s he going to have to Esay?
DWhat’s he going to have to Esay?

STRUCK MATCHES - Bop English

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Struck matches filling corners of a window sill

Born camp with the sickness leaning perfectly still

Against a dead moon kill

Bound by the desires that I feel along the way of the great big hell

Now I seen you talk down from a borrowed throne

Oh if you had a nickel for every chance that you’d blown

D A

You’d set out for a week on the sea for a leaving

fresh company

I like to imagine a killing spree

Where every victim is me and all the jokers you see

D A

on the screens the machines they’re reviving the scenes and the means for you

many fabric conflicts

D E

I see a walking disaster

D E

Only just fade away

D E

I see a walking disaster

D E

What’s he going to have to say?

D E

What’s he going to have to say?

Built you a filter that you keep in your room

under a box or a mattress with a golden spoon

You press holes in your gloom and breathe in all the fumes

Getting deeply in tune and waiting the next wave of attack

Now you’re digging in the icebox for something to have

wrapped in tin foil and shoved way in the back

sits a memory of ten dozen laughs

Somebody’s suggesting you got the kind of hunger that you just can’t feed

I like coffee and you like tea

We want to make a little money but you can’t sell me

D A

There ain’t nothing free that can cause somebody something but we

we all already all knew that

D E

I see a walking disaster

D E

Only just fade away

D E

Lookie here a walking disaster

D E

What’s he going to have to say?

D E

What’s he going to have to say?

D E

What’s he going to have to say?

D E

What’s he going to have to say?
