[G] _ [D] _ _
[G] I saw [F#] Raymond, [A] he walked [E] by,

[D] And [G] as he [F#] opened [A] up my [E] mind,
Oh, [C#] so [A] proud and [D] I said,
I [G] heard his [F#] words so [A] verified.
[E] I'm so [C#] high above [A] this [F#] constant,
[G] Drifted chatter.
[A] _ _ [D] Your [A#] chalk's beaten on the [E] scrapple,
And [C] all the stars on your head [D] are toppling.
You [A#] can't hear someone on this [C] babbling.
Are [E] you feeling [D] Wolf's brain?
[C] Melted rock into [D] metal.

[D] _ [F#] [C] In a dark place,
[G#] _ [F#] In the deep [E] sky,

In the cold of rain,
In [F#m] the war in Paris, _
[B] [F#m] People have their way,
_ [G] [E] When the moon is violet,
[F#] _
People bear [A] no [G] fun.
[D] _ _ [G] I have a [F#] denture [A] in [E] my way,
[C#] [D] Oh, at [G] least a [F#] denture [A] is in [E] my way.
[C#] [Am] It doesn't [D] matter,
This [G] rock is [F#] turning [A] into [E] scrap,
While [C#] we are [A] drowning [F#] here in [G] our own chatter.
[A] _
[D] It can't eat [A#] dirt,
Cause it tastes so [E] awful,
No [C] sugar,
You're turning [D] slimy,
I can't [A#] smile,
Then there's got to be a [C] mouthful,
I've been [E] crying in this [D] place.
