[G]
I'm in a half and a bus takes a long time The odor of old prison food takes a long [C] time
Pass you by
[G] Day upon day of this wandering gets you done Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar [C] in this old town
[G] Offering silence from you is a giveaway A squalor in smoke's not a stout
I don't like [C] this place, we'd better go
[G] Better compare notes with your older sister I am a lazy gad, she is as pure [C] as a cold drizzling snow
[D]
[G]
What did you learn from your time in this solitary cell?
All of your mindful is noise and [C] distraction from anything good of the old prison food
[G] You color my life with the chaos of trouble, cause anything's better than partial [C] isolation
I miss the buzz, you were laid on your back with a boy with the [D] Arab strap
With a boy from the [G] Arab strap

[G]
something could speak of the way you're feeling, the cries are assembled for you, I'd repeal [C] you, you've gone too far
[G] Everyone suffers in silence and burden, the mind it dries many cups down in old [C] Compton
The Asian man, with his love-hated pair, with his racist pride
[D] [G] [D]
[G] The central location for you is a must, is your stag or a fad
Making free with your loot [C] in this heavy of a pulse
[G] We all know you're soft, cause we've all seen you dance
We all know you're hard, cause we've all seen you drinking [C] from noon until noon again
You're the boy with [D] filthy love
The boy with the Arab [G] strap
[C]
[G]
[C] You're
[G] disabled with sits from the shelter shop, comic celebrity takes a back seat [C] as a cigarette catches
And sets off the smoke alarm
[G] What do you make of the cool set in London?
[C] You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest whacks
She's a witcher
