F#m                   D               F#m
Trudging through the morning and the tramp with the trampoline
F#m       D     F#m
under his arm, shifts past your whiskers so
Bm            F#m           Bm      F#m
stark is the charm but the barking alarm waits
F#m               D         F#m
coiled until the corner is turned

And the bicycle wheels all struggle to move 'round
In your muddy mind, blatantly caked and
Unwilling to wind uncooperative time
So he sits on the springs 'til the muck goes dry

Chorus:
F#m                     Bm                        G#m
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and
F#m                   Bm                  G#m
cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
F#m                     Bm                        G#m
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and
F#m                   Bm                  G#m
cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall

What came first, the chicken or the dickhead?
Split sleep reaps rewards from ill fitting thoughts
And twilight forced you to go on a walk
Your legs start running and your head gets caught

Canopy 19 is perfectly placed
For the reasonably frightening fall from the aftertaste
You'll have to slip away, I am unhappy to say
Behold as the crook in the hammock plays

Chorus

 F#m               Bm          F#m      D  F#m
Behold there's a crook in the hammock plays
cruelly with the base of the scales
     Bm
And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act
F#m
Gagged, bound and crafting a tale
Bm
Trailing wrapped in a gasp
F#m
Cruelly with the base and the scales
             Bm
And fucking fiddles with the feet on a balancing act
F#m
Gagged, bound and crafting a tale
F#m        D          F#m G#m
Trailing wrapped in a gasp

Chorus
