Cm            A# Cm                        A#     Cm
I'm the smoke behind the screen, astronaut in the limousine
Cm             A# Cm                     A#     Cm
Now picture us amphetamines, a taxidermy in the magazine
Cm         A# Cm                           A#     Cm
The mutiny amongst the fees, all the cards hiding up my sleeves
Cm        A# Cm                          A#           Cm
Bandages, a stripper's thighs tell the jury you're an animal

Chorus:
D#       A#
Yeah, oh yeah
Cm                  D#
Best laid plans can wait, don't need them now
F              G#          B
This aggravation is heavy duty
Cm                  D#
Best laid plans can wait, don't need them now
F               G#                   A#   F
You've got to slow down and see the beauty

Straighten up, take your pills, nuts is watching, so forget your thrills
Plastic limbs, antidote, now you see it was all a hoax
Microchips inside your ears tapping in to your inner fears
Lousy kids, we can tick beaten up with the ugly stick

Chorus

Cm  D# Cm   D# Cm   A# Cm
Oh, temper, temper, missy
  Cm          A#          F       Cm
Resorting to violence if you disagree
Cm      D# Cm       D# Cm  A# Cm
Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm is slow
Cm        A#               F           Cm
Have to admit you're the star of the show
Cm  D# Cm   D# Cm   A# Cm
Oh, temper, temper, missy
Cm             A#            F            Cm
Sitting there laughing it's now that you see
Cm       D# Cm        D# Cm   A# Cm
Oh, the visions, the visions are black
Cm             A#                 F          Cm
Tears on your gravestone, you're not coming back

I'm the smoke, a mocking bird the filthy joke that you overheard
So giz a squeeze, I am you, you're always fucked but you never knew

Chorus
