Intro Cbar D5 C5

E5
Got glue in your feathers
E5
What brought you to this?
C5
A flightless bird surrounded by
D5
Red handed kids
         Cbar     D5        C5        E5
In their borrowed black sheep's clothes
C5             D5         G5
Now everybody's in on the joke

E5
So practice your boredom
E5
Look a thousand times removed
C5
Cause only a freak would sing
D5
In a crowded waiting room
           Cbar     D5   C5       E5
They would turn you out in the cold
C5                 D5             G5
Because everybody's in on the joke

C5
Are you missing a stranger
D5                 G5    C5
That you might have loved?
C5
Do you feel that there's something
D5            G5    C5
You don't feel enough?
C5                      D5
There's a perfectly good poison
        D5 E5 D5  C5 
For the perfectly numb
C5
If 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....
