        (verse 1)
Dm7                  C7
Hollow body got a hold on me
       Dm7               C7
copper wound kite string stinger set me free 
Dm7                       C7
milk crater moon spitting silence in the sea like 
Dm7     C7
no wave no way 
Dm7   C7        Dm7
  I love that sound 
C7
oh my gosh 
Dm7                         C7
immersed in cursive surfaces I'll never be alone 
     Dm7
I am wind up toy 

whipping boy 
    C7
and music is my home

  from all this satellite calamity disease

         (chorus)
              Dm7              C7                   Dm7
I don't wanna waste my time on trivial things like life 
          C7
I will be perfect for you 
Dm7       C7              Dm7           C7
it is the only thing that I know how to do
      Dm7              C7                Dm7
in my head my heart my tongue my lung my life 
          C7        Dm7

          C7              Dm7             C7

Dm7  Dm7  C7   C7   C7   X2

       (verse 2)
Dm7                     C7
Zodiac distractions sit like diamonds in the sky
 Dm7                          C7
up above the world I blink the twinkle from my eye 
Dm7                                C7
taking giant steps with lunar lungs I'm just a man 
       Dm7                            C7
finding footprints in the silver dust you'll never understand 
          (double time)
    Dm7                                 C7
yes I'll never understand what drives a man to be content 
     Dm7                            C7
in a hopeless ocean motionless with slippers of cement 
         Dm7                                     C7
shooting stars with shooting stars while playful comets wag their tails 
       Dm7                     C7
on the emperors new-wave punch drunk off sick unholy grails 


        (PRE-CHORUS)

F7          Dm7       Em7        C7         Dm7         Am7        
G
 step back I'm likely to explode 
F7          Dm7       Em7        C7         Dm7
