Em Got glue in your feathers D/A What brought you to this? C A flightless bird surrounded by A Red handed kids Cbar D C Em C In their borrowed black sheep's clothes C D/A G Gsus2 Now everybody's in on the joke Em So practice your boredom D/A Look a thousand times removed C Cause only a freak would sing A In a crowded waiting room Cbar D/A C Em C They would turn you out in the cold C D G Gsus2 Because everybody's in on the joke C Are you missing a stranger D/A G Gsus2 That you might have loved? C Do you feel that there's something D/A G Gsus2 You don't feel enough? C D There's a perfectly good poison Dsus4 Esus4 Dsus4 C For the perfectly numb C If you want some But naming the feeling It just, it kills the charade And if flowers should bloom Upon your wallpaper face It will follow you everywhere you go Because everybody's in on the joke Desire only burns And envy's always green A mind can only race And a heart, it can only beat There's these towering neon signs We must uphold To keep out the blackness And run with the blue Now only a fool would sing As if he's telling the truth Could you swallow down That lump in your throat? Because everybody's in on the joke Are you missing a stranger That you might have loved? Do you feel that there's something You don't feel enough? There's a perfectly good poison.... Are you missing a stranger That you might have loved? Do you feel that there's something You don't feel enough? There's a perfectly good poison....
