You see somebody naked

You try so hard

But you don’t understand

When you get home

Because something is happening here

You hand in your ticket

Who immediately walks up to you
Am/f#
When he hears you speak
F
And says, “How does it feel
Dm
To be such a freak?”
C
And you say, “Impossible”

As he hands you a bone

Because something is happening here

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books

Am
Do you, Mister Jones?
Am
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
Am/g#
And then he kneels

He crosses himself
Am/f#
And then he clicks his high heels

And without further notice

He asks you how it feels

Thanks for the loan”

Well, you walk into the room
Am/g#
Like a camel and then you frown
Am/g
You put your eyes in your pocket
Am/f#
And your nose on the ground
F
There ought to be a law
Dm
Against you comin’ around
C
Em
You should be made
Am
To wear earphones
C

Because something is happening here

But you don’t know what it is
