A
Jack and Jane, well they were quite insane
                                 E
But did you think that I really cared
Though they tried to get me to insinuate
            C               E
I couldn't follow them anywhere
              C                    E
Because they weren't ever really there

Oh high and low the little junkies go
But did you hope to get me involved
Even though they follow you most every where
I couldn't talk to them even if I tried
You know they can't see with their eyes open wide

Chorus:
B                             A
Everybody that you knew was from a book you read
C                       D                       E
Since they never lived how could you make them dead
Everybody that you knew was from a book you read
Since they never lived how could you make them dead

So it goes, I'm right behind my nose
I follow it wherever it leads
Takes me places no one ever would believe
But they can't follow me even if they try
It's like a camel through a needle's eye

Chorus
