[Verse 1]
   E         C#m       A            E
O fraudulent mirror, O rank rainbow toad
     E          C#m      A               B
I'd break apart too if I knowed what you knowed
    A             F#sus2    B7/A          Aadd9
I'd fall from the wall, I'd leap from the road
         E           C#m                A           E
You take cover in the clover, you don't shoulder the load

[Verse 2]
E          C#m   A         E
Wagner and wife, drama and strife,
E          C#m   A           B      A           F#sus2 B7/A     B
Their syphilitic friend Dionysus is wise not to ask, "Where's Sunstroke House?"
           E          C#m                  A         E
Where's a crow on the far fence? Where's a mill by the pond?

[Chorus 1]
E        G#m7     B6                 Aadd9     E  G#m  C#m  B
Pale with horror I saw you when your bird flew
    E          G#m7      B6             Aadd9  E  G#m  C#m  B
Now who in the whole low world has been kind to you?
E          G#m7    B6   Aadd9      E              C#m         A    E
Save for a kindly, ugly few? Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do
      E              C#m             A           E
Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do

[Verse 3]
         E           C#m        A         E
From the wind in the winter, no mercy, no quarter
         E         C#m        A          B7
From the summer no mercy and little goes well
A                   F#sus2 B7/A                B
That's where you'll live,  that's where you'll live
       E            C#m           A             E
Till a gale rips ya sails, till a will kills ya mill

[Verse 4]
E              C#m      A        E            E            C#m      Aadd9    B
Where have you been, my heat, my shadow?  How well did you like the song?
  A            F#sus2  B7/A           B
I filled it so full of nonsense and unrule
    E                 C#m          A         E
You feel like there's something forgotten or fell
    E                 C#m          A         E
You feel like there's something forgotten or fell

[Chorus 2]
E         G#m7     B6                Aadd9      E  G#m  C#m  B
Pale with horror I saw you when your bird flew
E         G#m7     B6                Aadd9      E  G#m  C#m  B
Now who in the whole low world has been kind to you?
E          G#m7    B6   Aadd9      E              C#m             A            E
Save for a kindly, ugly few? Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do
      E              C#m             A            E
Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do
      E              C#m             A            E
Don't read it, don't watch it, don't do what they do

[Verse 5]
E          C#m   A             E        E            C#m      B
Pink lipped bub, golden haired sitting, portraits of withering roots
A     F#sus2      Aadd9       B         E        C#m           A             E
Petty diversions, pointless excursions, pleasant distractions, underground mutes
