That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare
        F                         F                 C
But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair

And I'm lost
        F
And I'm lost
    C                         A

I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron

On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan
C         F         F       C
Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel
      F                       F
And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl

Well God's green hair is where I slept last

He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
    C      F            F        C
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
      F                           F
And when I wanna talk he hangs on every word


        A
And I'm lost
