As your Ebody floats down Third Street With the burn-smell factory closing up A
Yes it's Esad to say you will roB/D#manticize All the Athings you've known C#mbefore
It was Anot not not so C#mgreat It was Anot not not so F#mgreat
And as you Etake a bath in that beaten path There's a pounding at the door B
E Well It's a mighty C#mzombie talking of some E/Blove and posterity A
He says "The Egood old days never B/D#say good-bye If you Akeep this in your C#mmind:
You need some Alo-lo-loving C#marms You need some Alo-lo-loving arms" F#m
E A F#m F#m -> B
And as you fall from grace the only words you say are
E Put your E/G#hand inside the E/C#puppet E/Bhead
Put your E/G#hand inside the E/Apuppet headE/F# E/B
Put your Dhand inside Put your F#mhand inside
Put your Ehand inside the E/D#puppet heaC#md A
EAds up in the C#msubway are the work of E/Bsomeone Trying to please their bosAs
And though the Eguy's a pig we all know B/D#what he wants Is just to Aplease somebody elseC#m
If the Apu-pu-puppet headC#m Was only Abu-bu-busted in F#m
E A F#m F#m -> B
It would be a better thing for everyone involved And we wouldn't have to cry
Chorus
Memo to myself: do the dumb things I gotta do
Touch the puppet head
B B -> C -> B
Quit my
Ejob down at the C#mcarwash Didn't have to E/Bwrite no-one a good-bye noAte
That said, "The Echeck's in the mail, and
I'll B/D#see you in church, and Adon't you ever change" C#m
If the Apu-pu-puppet headC#m Was only Abu-bu-busted in F#m
E A F#m F#m -> B
I'll see you after school
Chorus 2x
