Em C F
I've been habitually rubbing the sleep from my eyes,
F G Em Am
I see the rain does not respect state lines, why should you?
Em C F F G Am
And I've seen dirt dry fires arise by pissing boy fountain statues
C Em F Dm F G Em Am
And they say electricity, can travel up your piss stream
F G Em Am
Oh am I too concerned with the burn of scrutiny?
F G Em Am
Cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race
Dm Am Em Am
Will I gain weight in later life?
Dm Am Em Am F F C
And when will someone swing a scythe against me?
Dm Am Em Am
Dm Am Em Am F
C F
Out of every woman on earth, who will I mate with?
F Dm F
Or will I spit empty threats, until all that's left, is a million zeros
G Em Am
printed on a roll of ticker-tape?
F G Em Am
And one last echo of the final tiny wave in my wake?
C F F G Em
Will all my unused seed collect like mercury, in some kind of afterlife for
Am
halves?
C Dm F G Em Am
Should I offer up my lats and pecs as stakes in death?
C G Dm Am (Dm F G Am)?
Whatever the will of the people shall be, Ohio and me
F G Em Am
Oh am I too concerned with the burn of scrutiny?
F G Em Am
Cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race
Dm Am Em Am
Will I gain weight in later life?
Dm Am Em Am F F C
And when will someone swing a scythe against me?
Dm Am Em Am
Dm Am Em Am F
C F Dm
Oh I'd rest in peace on a freshly cleaned and steamed plush carpet for sure,
F G Em Am
In the vacant third floor of a department store
C F
Or be hung with four nails on the projection wall
F G Em Am
In an empty convention center banquet hall
C F
That's right, I'm like everybody else is
Dm F G Em Am
Ashamed of sleep, I lie when a phone call wakes me
F G Em Am
But am I too concerned with the burn of scrutiny?
F G Em Am
Cold chased on run and covered like a horse before the race
Dm Am Em Am
Will I gain weight in later life?
Dm Am Em Am F F C
And when will someone swing a scythe against me?
Dm Am Em Am
Dm Am Em Am F
