Avey Tare - Laughing Hieroglyphic
[Intro]
 C[repeat until lyrics]
[Verse]
DmThe flies in the dark with their ways
Of Cshedding some light, now I've lost all my day
EmI think they are very lucky
With Cinternal parts like illumined sun rays
DmIt's so easy to get
CLost in the mixture
EmWhen forces strike hard
You wear your Clayers or you'll shiver
DmI didn't think you were
CStruggling so long
EmWith all of the wild things
CThat we took so young
DmHow it must have wrapped you up
And Cleft you hanging upside-down
EmWhen I was too busy getting lost in
The Cbig sound, the big sound
[Pre-Chorus]
DmNow I'd trade in all I'd saved
To Cfly to those nights and ask, "How are you lover?"
DmIf we could have just engaged
I'd have Cenhanced my weakness in comforting others
DmBut the words are all jumbled and faded
My heart is a Cnurse, but my tongue's in the blender
DmNow it's become something creative
I Cknow it's not much, but just let it right into your gut
[Chorus]
EmAnd hold me, I've been sad for days
The Dmlight does change its gifts, every hour's devoured
EmBut the same things haunt me, what's haunting Dmyou?
EmLately I've been seeing beings
They Dmlook like they float at the back of my headroom
EmI don't find it strange when I'm talking to Dmyou
EmLion in your dreams
The lion is Dmgood for your dreams, accept the lion
EmThe lion would probably try and come and embrace you Dmtoo
EmAnd when I get fucked up, I'll do the best
To make myDmself not fucked up again, my heart and my lungs too
EmWhy can't I do the same for everyone I love Dmtoo?
EmHow about it'll be Dmyou and me and the leader of the ghosts
EmHow about it'll be Dmyou and me and the leader of the ghosts
EmLately I've been seeing beings
DmThey look like they float at the back of my headroom
EmI don't find it strange when I'm talking to Dmyou
EmLion in your dreams
The lion is Dmgood for your dreams, accept the lion
EmThe lion would probably try and come and embrace you Dmtoo

Avey Tare - Laughing Hieroglyphic

[Intro]

[repeat until lyrics]

[Verse]

The flies in the dark with their ways

Of shedding some light, now I've lost all my day

I think they are very lucky

With internal parts like illumined sun rays

It's so easy to get

Lost in the mixture

When forces strike hard

You wear your layers or you'll shiver

I didn't think you were

Struggling so long

With all of the wild things

That we took so young

How it must have wrapped you up

And left you hanging upside-down

When I was too busy getting lost in

The big sound, the big sound

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'd trade in all I'd saved

To fly to those nights and ask, "How are you lover?"

If we could have just engaged

I'd have enhanced my weakness in comforting others

But the words are all jumbled and faded

My heart is a nurse, but my tongue's in the blender

Now it's become something creative

I know it's not much, but just let it right into your gut

[Chorus]

And hold me, I've been sad for days

The light does change its gifts, every hour's devoured

Em Dm

But the same things haunt me, what's haunting you?

Lately I've been seeing beings

They look like they float at the back of my headroom

Em Dm

I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you

Lion in your dreams

The lion is good for your dreams, accept the lion

Em Dm

The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too

And when I get fucked up, I'll do the best

To make myself not fucked up again, my heart and my lungs too

Em Dm

Why can't I do the same for everyone I love too?

Em Dm

How about it'll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts

Em Dm

How about it'll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts

Lately I've been seeing beings

They look like they float at the back of my headroom

Em Dm

I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you

Lion in your dreams

The lion is good for your dreams, accept the lion

Em Dm

The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too

[Outro]
