A three-piece suit on me

A tutu on you

In an empty airplane hangar

At a table for two

Dm/A

A pregnant pause

Em/B

A thought exhaled

C/G

In the jowls of the work-week

Spare me the details

[Chorus]

And if you ever did

Spy a giant squid

C/G

With your lazy eye

With its drooping lid

F G

We're in this together

[Verse]

Well, Vern sunburns himself

For to peel the old him off

To find the red him underneath

The redder him, more raw

Dm/A

Scooping out his brains

Em/B

With a rusted grapefruit spoon

C/G

Drinking his own urine

In the executive washroom

[Chorus]

And if you've ever been

An unconvincing spokesman in

A seminar and telling jokes

Naked and forgot your notes

But if you ever died

Or ever genuinely tried

Or if you ever were denied

Your relevance or sense of pride

If you sputtered and you stuttered

And you tied yourself in knots

And under your breath you muttered

Something someone else forgot

And if you ever have

Missed your flight to Leningrad

Semen running down your leg

That pampered quarterback

Oh, he don't know how to act

Oh, he don't know how to throw

I want my fucking money back

Em7

Oh, I want to think without

A7/E

Hearing my mind's mouth talk

Be neutered and lobotomized

And pushed out of a truck

And if you ever were

Somewhere where you never were

Inside someone else's skin

Stealing someone's self from him

G A

We're in this together
