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

 C                                C7 C
Pavlov's daughter woke up in the morning
           C7   C
Heard the bell ring
     C
And something deep inside of her made her want to salivate
        C7                        C
So she lay there drooling on her pillow
        C7
So she lay there, the sun skimming her skin
                             C
And, and... drooling on her pillow
 Cm7 C7     Cm7
Paaaavlov's daughter
C                  C7
Oh, and it was far away
                  C
And hazy like a dream
       Cm7       C
Not a dream
          C7
But the ocean, not the oceeeeean
       C
But forever

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