Caring is Creepy

        Bm      A        G        Em
I think i'll go home and mull this over
         D         A        G
Before i cram it down my throat
        Bm         A              G        Em
At long last it's crashed, it's colossal mass
          D          A         G
Has broken up into bits in my moat.

Em        D       Em        D
Lift the mattress off the floor
Em         D
Walk the cramps off
     A          G
Go meander in the cold
Em          D
Hail to your dark skin
Em           D
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Em      D            A           G
Undeneath the power lines seeking shade
G
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason

       Bm        A        G        Em
It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
            D              A           G
That let us bet when you know we should fold
      Bm      A        G       Em
On rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped
          D           A            G
And the whole mess of roads we're now on.

Em         D       Em       D
Hold your glass up, hold it in
Em         D               A             G
Never betray the way you've always known it is.
Em         D
One day i'll be wondering how
Em         D
I got so old just wondering how
Em         D              A             G
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.

G
This is way beyond my remote concern Of being condescending

Bm   A      G    Em   Bm    A    G
All these squawking birds won't quit.
Bm   A    G   Em Bm   Em    G       D
Building nothing, laying bricks.
