[Verse]
Here Ewe are now where are we?
It's like nothing I've ever seen
We Egot horse throated huckster's whispered gimmicks
Rubbernecking all the curious cynics
And headlong walkers, one born every minute
Do I plug it in or do I sBtick it in it?
[Chorus]
Well, AI don't know what came Gover me
IA'm too dumb for worGds
Well, AI didn't think I'd lGike it here at all
But I sBwear, I swear I'm on the Everge
[Verse]
Here Ewe are now who are you?
The long lost queens of some hoodoo?
WeEll, we're the last of the big time penetrators
Playing dead to fuck the undertaker
The movie'll come out a little bit later
The Men, The Legend, The GBoat, The Saytr
[Chorus]
Well, AI don't know what came Gover me
IA'm too dumb for worGds
Well, AI didn't think I'd lGike it here at all
But I sBwear, I swear I'm on the Everge
[no chords] play solo riff
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
[Verse]
EHere we are now don't ask how
The time to leave was kind of now
WelEl, don't cry, baby, there's no cause for grief
Deadheading's never going to kill the chief
It's an empty road without relief
And I'm a highway romance milBking thief
[Chorus]
Well, AI don't know what came Gover me
IA'm too dumb for worGds
Well, AI didn't think I'd lGike it here at all
But I sBwear, I swear I'm on the AvergeG  
IA'm too dumb for worGds
Well, AI didn't think I'd lGike it here at all
But I sBwear, I swear I'm on the Everge
[same solo riffs, anyone
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge

[Verse]

Here we are now where are we?

It's like nothing I've ever seen

We got horse throated huckster's whispered gimmicks

Rubbernecking all the curious cynics

And headlong walkers, one born every minute

Do I plug it in or do I stick it in it?

Well, I don't know what came over me

Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all

But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

[Verse]

Here we are now who are you?

The long lost queens of some hoodoo?

Well, we're the last of the big time penetrators

Playing dead to fuck the undertaker

The movie'll come out a little bit later

The Men, The Legend, The Goat, The Saytr

Well, I don't know what came over me
