Standard (EADGBE)
You must be joking I deny
Tears are falling from my eyes
I'm oversensitive, hyper-sensitized
And it makes it me feel like I am alive
And there's nothing to this life
I don't need lies on my push-pipe
My light comes from inside
And it makes it me fell like I'm alive
(skip )
And the winter turns to springtime
Like the springtime turns to summer
We'll discover how we lost another year
Instrumental verse
I saw you at the embassy
We're both crippled socially
No worlds collide when we converse
We're singing love is a disease, love is a curse
And we wrote Pavement on our shoes
We stole our barrow(?) and we paid our dues
We paid our respects, we wrote "Confusion is sex"
And on your shoulderbag I wrote the Silver Jews
And the ice turned into water
And the water turned into gasses
Steamy glasses on a frosty afternoon
And her lips were warm, her hands were cold
I never thought I'd feel this old
Isn't grey hair just the light of a new dawn?
Instrumental verse
