[Am]
[C] Tenuous at best was all he had to say When pressed [Am] about the rest of it, the world, that is
[C] A proto-Sanskrit minnow in his two proto-centric [Am] Lisboans
Greek Cypriots and Harbisites who hang around the ports a [C] lot, uh-huh
[Am]

[Am] [Bm]
[C] But here's the thing, start getting weird While chinless men will scratch [Am] their beards, uh-huh
To
[C] the minds of sharpen axes, brush upon the [Am] uralic syntaxes
[G] Love of hate, axes and axes, love of hate, axes and [F] axes, oh
First it wanes [Am] and then it waxes
[C] Tenuousness less, [Am] seven comes to three
[C] Them, you, us, plus [Am] eleven
Thank the heavens for [G] their elasticity
And that's for [F] those who live and die
[C] [Am] By astronomy
When

[C] [Am]
[C] coprophagia was written, oh, when to stand, oh, when to [Am] sit
Can't stand to stand, can't stand to sit
And who would want to know this?
