Verse 1:
G#G#      F minorFm       C minorCm      G minorGm
Boys run like water from the barrel to the trough.
They'll never stop their running.
C minorCm        G#G#   C minorCm  G#G#
Gunning for their brothers.
G#G#       F minorFm
This house is a hostel.
   C minorCm         G minorGm
It is peaceful, but it's always emptying.
C minorCm        G#G#    C minorCm G#G#
Boys all want to be someone.

Chorus:
G#G#     F minorFm      C minorCm     G minorGm
Haven't you heard? I am a flightless bird.
       C minorCm        G#G#     C minorCm G#G# C minorCm G#G#
I am a liar, feeding facts to a false fire.
G#G#      F minorFm         C minorCm   G minorGm
If pathos is borne, borne out of bullshit — in formal attire,
C minorCm        G#G#       C minorCm G#G#
I'll score you a string ensemble.

Verse 2:
G#G#       F minorFm
I saw my son at seventeen,
  C minorCm        G minorGm            C minorCm G#G# C minorCm G#G#
The shutters made projections on his naked frame.
G#G#      F minorFm
Now at twenty-five,
     C minorCm     G minorGm          C minorCm G#G# C minorCm G#G#
He simply cannot stay away from the ketamine.
G#G#         F minorFm
With makeup on his sores,
       C minorCm     G minorGm            C minorCm G#G# C minorCm G#G#
He spends an hour a day composing little eulogies.
G#G#           F minorFm
Sometimes he sends me letters,
     C minorCm       G minorGm          C minorCm G#G# C minorCm G#G#
But it's mostly garbled phrases and apologies.

Chorus:
G#G#     F minorFm      C minorCm      G minorGm
Haven't you heard? I am a flightless bird.
C minorCm       G#G#       C minorCm  G#G# C minorCm G#G#
I am a liar, feeding facts to a false fire.
G#G#      F minorFm         C minorCm   G minorGm
If pathos is borne, borne out of bullshit--in formal attire,
C minorCm        G#G#     C minorCm G#G#
Cue the Bulgarian men's choir.

Vocalise:
G#G# F minorFm C minorCm G minorGm Gm
