I gotta lot of people telling me I smell like the dead

Apparently they cannot see that I'm already walking 'round without a head

I gotta problem with the object of the ongoing game
Am C
Set the self upon the shelf and drag your shell through the day

But look at all the stars, we've come so far
Am D
Even if we don't know where we are, it's gotta be somewhere great
B Em
Or am I just too tired to wink?

I've seen a thousand towns without an ounce of hot irony
It leaves me begging for aesthetics

I store a cyclops for a week with hard-tack in the clink
If ever he would bat a lid I thought it was a wink
But the world is flush with monocular mush and dingbats to despise
You find they're not thinking, just narrowly blinking
But never quite cleaning their eyes
(chords in the chorus can be played over the solo)
