Verse 1:
N.C.
The gravediggers getting stuck in the machine

Picking getting slim, slimmer

I hear them say my name

Regin-ah, Regin-ah, Regin-a-ah
N.C.
Yes, I'm putting the boulder to my ear

And I still can't hear

Whadya think I was an amateur

Playing with my temperature?

Pre-Chorus:
N.C.
If I hear another song about angels

If I see another feather on the dumb-box

I'm going to go to Babylon and get me some whiskey

Gonna go to Babylon and get me some whiskey now
N.C.
If I hear another song about angels

If I see another feather on the dumb-box

I'm going to go to Babylon and get me some whiskey

Oh, get me some whiskey, oh, get me some whiskey now

Pavlov's daughter woke up in the morning
      C7C7  C majorC
Heard the bell ring
   C majorC
And something deep inside of her made her want to salivate
    C7C7            C majorC
So she lay there drooling on her pillow
    C7C7
So she lay there, the sun skimming her skin
               C majorC
And, and... drooling on her pillow
 Cm7Cm7 C7C7   Cm7Cm7
Paaaavlov's daughter
C majorC         C7C7
Oh, and it was far away
         C majorC
And hazy like a dream
    Cm7Cm7    C majorC
Not a dream
     C7C7
But the ocean, not the oceeeeean
    C majorC
But forever

Outro:
C majorC
As quiet as an ambulance staking out the neighborhood
C majorC                          C#7C#7
Waiting for the blade to slip and that final blow
C majorC
But nothing happens, it's a cruel joke
C majorC
As ironic as a ticker tape parade over the rain forest
                         C#7C#7
As ironic as a ticker tape parade over my head
C majorC
As ironic as a ticker tape parade over my head going downstream to where it isn't even real rain at all
