Intro
D#m
[Verse 1]
D#m B
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
F# A# D#m
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
D#m B
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
F# A#
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
D#m B
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
F# A# D#m
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
B
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
F# A#7
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
[Chorus]
D#m B
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
F# A#
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
D#m B
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
F# A# D#m
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
D#m B D#m B A#m D#m
[Verse 2]
D#m B
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
F# A# D#m
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw
D#m B
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
F# A#
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
D#m B
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
F# A# D#m
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
D#m B
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played
F# A#7
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
[Chorus]
D#m B
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
F# A#
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
D#m B
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
F# A# D#m
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
D#m B F# B
[Verse 3]
A#
(Oh my, my, my, my)
D#m B
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
F# A#7
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
D#m B
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
F# A# D#m
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
