Verse 1:
G# Fm Cm Gm
Boys run like water from the barrel to the trough.
They'll never stop their running.
Cm G# Cm G#
Gunning for their brothers.
G# Fm
This house is a hostel.
Cm Gm
It is peaceful, but it's always emptying.
Cm G# Cm G#
Boys all want to be someone.
Chorus:
G# Fm Cm Gm
Haven't you heard? I am a flightless bird.
Cm G# Cm G# Cm G#
I am a liar, feeding facts to a false fire.
G# Fm Cm Gm
If pathos is borne, borne out of bullshit — in formal attire,
Cm G# Cm G#
I'll score you a string ensemble.
Verse 2:
G# Fm
I saw my son at seventeen,
Cm Gm Cm G# Cm G#
The shutters made projections on his naked frame.
G# Fm
Now at twenty-five,
Cm Gm Cm G# Cm G#
He simply cannot stay away from the ketamine.
G# Fm
With makeup on his sores,
Cm Gm Cm G# Cm G#
He spends an hour a day composing little eulogies.
G# Fm
Sometimes he sends me letters,
Cm Gm Cm G# Cm G#
But it's mostly garbled phrases and apologies.
Chorus:
G# Fm Cm Gm
Haven't you heard? I am a flightless bird.
Cm G# Cm G# Cm G#
I am a liar, feeding facts to a false fire.
G# Fm Cm Gm
If pathos is borne, borne out of bullshit--in formal attire,
Cm G# Cm G#
Cue the Bulgarian men's choir.
