[Verse 1]
CmI can Cthink of nowA#here
CI would rather bA#e
CReading morning paA#pers
CDrinking morning tA#ea
She Gclutches the tray
A#nd then we talk just like aD kitchen sink play
Nothing A#ventured, nothing gFained
GLiving so close to danger
DEven your friends are strangers
A#Don't count upon their companFy
[Verse 2]
CThis is for the fingerA#s
CThis is for the nailsA#
CHidden in the kitcheA#n
CRight behind the scales
GWhat do I care
I'm wasting fingers like I Dhad them to spare
Plugging A#holes in the ZuiderzFee
GPunishing Paul for Peter
DDon't ever trust those meters
A#What you believe is what you sFee

[Bridge]
In my Gtown, there is a Draincoat under a Ctree
In the Gsky, there is a Dcloud containing the Csea
In the Gsea, there is a Dwhale without any Ceyes
In the Gwhale, there is a Dman without his rainCcoat
[Bridge 2]
In another country A#m
With aCnother name
A#mMaybCe things are different A#m
MayCbe they're the same

[Verse 3]
GBack on the trail
The seven soldiers read the Dpapers and mail
But the A#news, it doesn't cFhange
GSwinging about through creepers
DParachutes caught on steeples
A#Heroes are born, but heroes dFie
GJust a few days
A# little practice and someD holiday pay
We're all A#sure you'll make the gFrade
GMother of God, if you care
DWe're on a train to nowhere
A#Please put a cross upon our eFyes
[Outro]
GTake me
I'm nearly ready, you can Dtake me
To the A#raincoat in the sFky
GTake me
My little pastry mother Dtake me
There's a A#pie shop in the sFky
