G#m             B
I'm floating in a black balloon
C#m             E
O.D. on Easter afternoon
G#m    F#m            E         B
   My mamma told me, "Baby stay clean,
             C#m            E
there's no in between."

And all you ladies and you gentleman
Between's all you've ever seen or been
Fit poorly and arrange the sight
Doll her up in virgin white

G#m    F#m   E
   You disappoint me
C#m                        D#m
You people rakin' in on the world

   E  F#m   F      E
The devil's script sells you
B     F#m            G#m     G
the heart of a blackbird

E                B             C#m          E
Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart

Sun's risin' on a choppy glare
Rain dropping acid brought up in the air
A distorted reality's is now a necessity to be free

It's so disapointing
