[Verse 1]
C#5 F#5 E5
She took me in and fed me kindly
A5 B5
But who is this tramp sat in front of me?
C#5 F#5 E5
She smiled and said, "Jilly I be!"
A5 B5
Then she shouted her name into the street
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
I told her I was missing but she said, "Where have you been?
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
How can you lose a place, my friend, if it was never real?"
C#5 F#5 E5
I said I feel like I have fallen asleep
A5 B5
Like this is all just a part of a wicked dream
C#5 F#5 E5
When I wake up, you'll see what I mean
A5 B5
I'm not meant to be stuck in this poverty
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
She said, "I can see infinity glint in every gleam
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
You see the light as would a bug who can't pass through a screen!"
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
C#5 F#5 E5
I still think I'd like to leave
A5 B5
I'm soiled and my colleagues are waiting for me
C#5 F#5 E5
If I beg, they'll let me back in
A5 B5
Now would you kindly let me out of this bin?
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
She said, "Take you opportunities and shove them up your ear
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
Listen to the thunder, boy, it calls for you to hear!"
C#5 F#5 E5
Then, moldered in my suit and tie,
A5 B5
in the filth when I started to cry
C#5 F#5 E5
She knocked the glasses right off of my eyes
A5 B5
She is the stain that will never come dry!
B5 C#5 F#5
She said, "Scream at me, oh, stirring child
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
Scream your little scream; in the morning world
C#5 F#5
You are the only you who's ever been
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
There is another history behind the one you've seen
C#5 F#5 C#5 F#5
So weep until there's nothing left to weep and then be free!"
[Chorus]
