Eb Db Eb [repeat]

Appendages flailing, you're running at me

Ferocious, tenaciously clawing at me

The devious gelatin holding me fast

Miraculous now you let me ooze past.

Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze

The tip of stalactites incising my knees

A slipper, a sand-dollar day at the shore

Nice evening at home that I dread even more

 Ab Db

Would you please make clear to me

 Ab Eb Ab

I'm peering out through your opacity

 Ab Db

Though you rehearse tomorrow's verse

 Ab Eb Ab

Forgive me if I donUt sing in your key.

Look back on those days when my life was a haze

The gelatin lay on a truncated slate

Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank

The freemasons crank to the overflow tank

Bane of the weasel, fur biting is fun

Jump on the turnstile and watch me go round

Swim with the cactus and float with the stone

I try to convey what you strive to condone

Would you please make clear to me

I'm peering out through your opacity

Though you rehearse tomorrow's verse

Forgive me if I don't sing in your key.

Would you please [no left turn unstoned] make clear to me [_ when you see me]

Then you will be the nothing left for me
