Intro:
G C Em D

G
 Open up a window
         C                           Em
 All the air, all the air is falling out
                D
 Eyes vacuum up light

 Sound gets trapped by the mouth
G
 What to do with the remainder
          C
 When the dents
                        Em
 The dents get hammered out
                           D
 Then we'll travel through time


G                                 C
 The world's an inventor with its work
                               Em
 Crawling, running, squirming 'round
                     D
 Trees drop colorful fruits

 Directly into our mouths
G
 The world's an inventor
           C                           Em
 We're the dirtiest thing its thought about
                     D
 And we really don't mind

G C Em D

G
 We'll probably never get there
            C                            Em
 Bring your sight seers, school teachers down

 There's a water color weekend
         D
 All the trees are turning colors now
G
 We'll probably never get there 
            C                           Em
 Bring your candy taster, time wasters around
                           D
 And we'll f**k with their minds


G
 The world composes with his
 C
 Shirt tails wrinkled hanging out
Em                         D
 Bang us together see what sort

 Of sounds we make right now
G
 The world plays music
         C                           Em
 Playing skin on teeth inside of the mouth
              D
 What sort of sounds?

 What lovely sounds come about

 All the ghosts of trees are coming out

 Don't the open the directions
        D
 Wait until the light's inside of the cloud
G
 You're gonna wanna see this

 Don't bring your camera around

 Watch sun and sawdust align

 Close up the window

 All the air all the air is falling out
                D
 Eyes vacuum up light

 Sound gets trapped by the mouth
G                          C
 Our predecessor left this box
                          Em
 And something's clawing around
                         D
 I think it really wants out
