Intro Cbar D C
EmGot glue in your feathers
EmWhat brought you to this?
CA flightless bird surrounded by
DRed handed kids
Cbar D C Em
In their borrowed black sheep's clothes
CNow evDerybodGy's in on the joke
EmSo practice your boredom
EmLook a thousand times removed
CCause only a freak would sing
DIn a crowded waiting room
Cbar D C Em
They would turn you out in the cold
CBecause evDerybody's Gin on the joke
CAre you missing a stranger
DThat you mGight Cadd9have loved?
CDo you feel that there's something
DYou dGon't Cadd9feel enough?
CThere's a pDerfectly good poison
For the D4perE4fecD4tly Cnumb
CIf you want some
But naming the feeling
It just, it kills the charade
And if flowers should bloom
Upon your wallpaper face
It will follow you everywhere you go
Because everybody's in on the joke
Desire only burns
And envy's always green
A mind can only race
And a heart, it can only beat
There's these towering neon signs
We must uphold
To keep out the blackness
And run with the blue
Now only a fool would sing
As if he's telling the truth
Could you swallow down
That lump in your throat?
Because everybody's in on the joke
Are you missing a stranger
That you might have loved?
Do you feel that there's something
You don't feel enough?
There's a perfectly good poison....
Are you missing a stranger
That you might have loved?
Do you feel that there's something
You don't feel enough?
There's a perfectly good poison....
