[Verse]
GHey I found a Emwhistle that Changs like a Emcharm
   GAnd when my Emnoose is tied I could Cblow it and Dfall down into your
BmArms. fifteen Acenturies of Bmdissolution and F#7grief
to reGturn a yellow Dtrickster and a Cthief
[Verse]
Yeah I found a whistle that works every time
that's when the trail escapes to nowhere
and the flood erases the crime
such conviction
to paint all the wall with the blood
of the young and the faithful and the good
Hey I found a whistle as thin as sheet
to split the dumbness of a vision
between s asleep and a sleep
tiny axes
repeatedly raising the flag
all ignored, real emotion's such a drag
Yeah I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart
and on dark nights when the moon is right
I could show you
the head attached with a scarf
aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates
when it's gone, has it gone all the way?
[Verse]
This time I found a whistle that works every time
Yeah I found a whistle that works, hangs like a charm
I found a whistle that works every time
Yeah I found a whistle that works, closes my eye everytime
A whistle, I forgot it, I forgot it this time
