GmThere's something wrong here where the best ones want to go
GmParker, Lautreamont, Monroe they held it just to throw
GmThe world away who were its grace before they left
EbTo choose Fto have a Gmpoint of view obliviEbous that leaves the Frest of us beGmreftD  D  D  D  
[Chorus 1]
GmThere I Fsee the piercing eyes that Eblook through all until they Dsee their back
GmThere where any thought will Fthink about itself and Ebthat's the Donly fact
GmThere a man has Fleft just death, delerEbium, and drugs, or Dfeel the Gmlack

[Intro]

Gm Gm Gm Gm

[Verse]

I see the passionate who killed themselves with drink

Or drugs or speeding cars in order not to think

They must have felt like there just nothing was to do

Eb F Gm Eb F Gm D D D D

Oh why hast thou murdered those who see the most in search of a true thrill or clue

[Break]

Gm Gm Gm Gm

[Verse]

There's something wrong here where the best ones want to go

Parker, Lautreamont, Monroe they held it just to throw

The world away who were its grace before they left

Eb F Gm Eb F Gm D D D D

To choose to have a point of view oblivious that leaves the rest of us bereft

[Chorus 1]

Gm F Eb D

There I see the piercing eyes that look through all until they see their back

Gm F Eb D

There where any thought will think about itself and that's the only fact

Gm F Eb D Gm

There a man has left just death, delerium, and drugs, or feel the lack

[Break]

Gm Gm Gm Gm

[Verse]

The air is cool today the time is drawing near

My walls are white and so's my brain afloat in self-made fear

A banal feeling of the sort "I ain't insane"

Eb F Gm Eb F Gm D D D D

No fate worse than to never leave yourself and it's as well the most repulsive pain

[Instrumental]

Gm F Eb D

Gm Gm Gm Gm

[Verse]

The air is cool today that whistles through my ribs

My skull is full of sand that dribbles down upon my bib

I call out "Baby" but her face looks like a clock

Eb F Gm Eb F Gm D D D D

Tick tock, alive, triumphant victims so surprised we can't recover from the shock

[Chorus 2]

Gm F Eb D

Me, I like a joke as much as anybody else but some are rough

Gm F Eb D

Yeah when the joke's on you though you're the joker too you've had enough

Gm F Eb D Gm

Then though there is no one there, because there's nothing there, you call your bluff
