Tenuous at best was all he had to say when pressed about the 
A5
rest of it, the world that is
     C5                            
from proto-Sanskrit Minoans to porto-centric Lisboans
      A5 
Greek Cypriots and and Hobis-hots
                                   C5
Who hang around in ports a lot, uh huh. 
                 A5

C5
Here's where things start getting weird
                                                  A5
While chinless men will scratch their beards, uh huh
C5                                                                
To their minds a sharpened axe while 
                               A5
brushed up on the Uralic syntaxes
G5
Love of hate acts as an axis
                               F5
Love of hate acts as an axis, oh oh
                             C5
First it wanes and then it waxes
                 A5
(whistling part)
                             C5
So procreate and pay your taxes
                 A5
(whistling part)
C5

C5
Them you us plus 
A5                                     G5
eleven thank the heavens for their elasticity
                F5                             C5
And that's for those who live and die for astronomy
                A5

C5
When Coprophagia was writ know when to stand know when to sit
      A5                                      
Can't stand to stand can't stand to sit and who would want to know this
C5             A5     G5
Click click click
G5                            E5

eleven comes just shy of infinity
                C5                  
And that's for those who live and die
