The finches and sparrows build nests in my chimney
      F                                             Fm
what remains of the small flightless birds that you failed to protect

C                    G                   F
but their yolk isn't easy in fact it's a drag
                                          Fm           C
as they're blowing through cornfields and mountains of rags
C            G                        F
all over the suburbs across the great lawns
                                   Am
crop-dusting gardens all over this town

but nobody cares when it gets in their hair
C                G                              F
it gets in their lungs as it floats through the air
C              G                         F
it gets in the food that they buy and prepare
           D7                          G     F
but nobody cares when it gets in their hair

F
across the great chasms and schisms and the sudden aneurisms
                         C               G                F
where the black ink will drip across the crespice of your eyes
F
and your teeth are worth more than you can spare-
          C               G          F
-oh don't tell me that it just isn't fair
F
don't speak about the cycles of life 'cause your thoughts are so soft
        C              G          F       D7      G  (riff 1)
I could cut 'em with a spork or a bride's kniii-i-fe

F                     C      G   F
and the wine made our mouths too loose
F                         C      G   F
such a reckless choice of words
F                         C    G  ( F# )
when you tell me that I'm too "abstruse"
                                G
I just thought it was a kind of bird
         ( F# )
(I swear) I just stood there
             F
not saying a word
             F
not saying a word
