Verse 1:
C majorC
I ride the brake until the top of the hill
C majorC
You're asking me to swallow a pill
FF
That is bigger than my body
C majorC
It's bigger than my will
C majorC
We crash against the radio waves
C majorC
They infiltrate and feast on our brains
FF
I pump my inner ear with silence
C majorC
But that only makes things worse
FF
I soak my eyeballs deep in violence
G+G
But then my heart begins to hurt
Refrain:
FF
Oh well - irony, ironically
C majorC G+G
Becomes the standard recipe for normalcy
FF
Who discovered what and how much longer
C majorC G+G
til it's cool again is all lost on me
N.C.
(This is not a democracy, this is a legacy)
Verse 2:
C majorC
Well I might ride my bicycle around
C majorC
I passed out near the old playground
FF
And woke up to some kids
C majorC
Sticking safety pins in my head
C majorC
I shook em off and I fought with their moms
C majorC
They made some accusations and then called the cops
FF
I tried to ride away but then they maced me
C majorC
And old man Jimmy left me for dead
G+G FF C majorC
I woke up in the morning feeling ornery and I did it again
Guitar solo:
C majorC FF C majorC G+G FF C majorC
Verse 3:
C majorC
The pencil dances in the palms of my hands
C majorC
The naked page patiently waits for inspiration
FF
But it's wasted once again
C majorC
And it's judging me so hard
C majorC
My Uncle Stacy is a magical man
C majorC
He lives alone out in the desert
FF
Eating cactus, making potions out of sand
C majorC
And he sends them to my mom
Verse 4:
C majorC
Well I might ride my bicycle around
C majorC
I passed out near the old playground
FF
And woke up to the kiss
C majorC
Of an interdimensional being on my lips
C majorC
I shook it off and then reached in my pocket
C majorC
It screamed something in Latin as I pulled the top off
FF C majorC
Uncle Stacy's potion; it exploded and sucked it straight into the abyss
G+G FF C majorC
Thanks to Uncle Stacy, I'll be riding in the morning again
