Curled up in the attic or

If you want a closet on a hanger

Make you feel used up and left alone
[Verse 2]

Like you're a spectacle and I will

Watch you be half-hearted

Answering their questions bejeweled

Like they're all artists making offerings

Dialogue and lacquer
Dm/A
And being like an actor
Eb/A# A#/F
Glean your teeth about their songs
[Verse 3]

And though I might be stupid

And you can't do nothing 'bout it

No dialogue in congress
Dm/A
If I squint and walk away
Eb/A# A#/F

Losing all my talent

Draped in all my favorites
A#/F Dm/A
I'm losing all my talent now
Eb/A# A#/F
With nobody to stand around
C/G Eb/A#
With nobody to stand around
