I've been Ambiting down my Gtongue all through the Cafternoon
But now thFere's fractures in the Fmglass around the Csnake pit
Cos while Amyou gave your monolGogues about Caiming for the moon
I found some Fobvious flaws F#7in your sGpaceship
And though I Ehate to blow the Amfoghorn, the Gpoint is Cmoot
There's a Fthin man Capproaching in a Gsuit and leather Eboots
AmFor all the times he Cwarned ya and you Fdidn't Cstop
FYou're gonna be Amtaken out for E7all it is ya gFot
AmBabe, you're next in Cline or Fhad you Cforgot?
That he's Fmemorized the Amnumbers right Gabove your letterFbox

And when he comes baby, he won't knock
[Instrumental]

AmGiggling Galong on your CSunday dream
Since Fwhen did you Fmstart acting like you Cowned us?
Cause you Amchange your Gdisquisitions by the Chour, it seems
And your Fparading around F#7is makin' me nGauseous
You better Edrown your despeAmration in a GMoloCtov
But you can't Fsupplicate the Cscratching at your Gback door Ebecause
AmFor all the times he Cwarned ya and you Fdidn't Cstop
FYou're gonna be Amtaken out for E7all it is ya Fgot
AmBabe, you're next in Cline or Fhad you Cforgot?
That he's Fmemorized the Amnumbers right Gabove your letterFbox

Swilling Fmartinis like Fmyou're not locked inside the Cdoghouse
And though you Amdecorate your Gdays with a Cfair and equitable grace
You're simply Fswine in a F#7suit playing Ghonest
But that Ethin man's Amapproaching in his Gheavy leather Cboots
And he's Fwaiting on the Cmoment when he Ggets a hold of Eyou
You can Amkick and Cscream and you can Fwail all you Cwant
