[Intro]

B Em

[Verse 1]

I never thought I would be this clever,

but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I got some glue, filled my arms with feathers

and jumped off the roof of my house.

I met this man in an abandoned cellar,

with some worn out shoes, made of battered leather.

Said he knew a thing or two about the weather.

Then he told me this was a show.

[Pre-chorus]

C Am

He said you’ve got no imagination

B Em

to choose the oldest known fixation.

B Em

Then he sellotaped his own eyes shut,

to keep the darkness in.

[Chorus 1]

It’s gonna be alright,

Just close your eyes,

You’re gonna be just fine.

I never meant to hurt you mother.

I forgot to say “see ya” to my brother.

[Verse 2]

Ring a Ring o’ Roses,

the dark side of the Earth creeps.

The Sun is just a showpiece,

the harvest that the dope eats.

We’re dancing to a broke beat,

so Bangkok feels our toes and feet.

Our ankles stomping blown leaves,

is far enough from holy.

[Pre-chorus]

C Am B

And I’m not looking forward to having no consciousness,

but I’ll give it a go.

[Chorus 2]

It’s gonna be alright,

Just close your eyes,

You’re gonna be just fine.

I never meant to hurt you mother,

Am B

I forgot to say “see ya” to my brother again.
