 Is there a sign on  the  back of my head that says desensitized?
 (Fast Strumming) ,
 Well I’m sorry I said anything. You sang a song and then learned to sing
 and said that you missed the songs you sang before you learned anything.
 In a fishbowl on the beach, I know the salty water stings,
 but it’s not hard to see from a bowl the world’s out of reach.
I  see  my  face  in the lake at the end of a pier.
 All the fish seem to wonder what I’m doing here,
 when I hold my head under and hear them all scoff.
 I just open up my mouth and let my mind jump off.
It says  there’s a sign at the end of this swamp that says destruct,
 it’s fucked it’s done it’s just mud, no such dumb luck.
 Construct new huts, blind new kinds of ducks then make them
 occupy new titles like on the royal aisle, where they print up a phone book
 as thick as a bible.
You were  baptized  in a river, I was thrown off a bridge.
 Then I landed on a crab you slept with seahorses.
 I started having seizures, you started having kids.
 You found your inner self, I found my inner fish.
And  my other car is a boat, it has a boat name. I thought we both came,
 but no. No such conch, no pontoon, no one is listening to you.
 The sun does wonders to your brain the way it burns right through.
 I am swimming in a trough, I’m sure you’ve written me off by now but
 just when I think that all is lost, I see you stepping in the water.
To  me  every  edge of the lake is a fifty foot cliff
 and once you are swimming with me there’s no way ou

Is there a sign on[B] th[F#]e back of my head that says desensitized?

(Fast Strumming) [B], [F#]
Well I’m sorry I said anything. You sang a song and then learned to sing
and said that you missed the songs you sang before you learned anything.
In a fishbowl on the beach, I know the salty water stings,
but it’s not hard to see from a bowl the world’s out of reach.

[Eb]I se[Bb]e my[B] fa[F#]ce in the lake at the end of a pier.
All the fish seem to wonder what I’m doing here,

I just open up my mouth and let my mind jump off.

[B]It [F#]says there’s a sign at the end of this swamp that says destruct,
it’s fucked it’s done it’s just mud, no such dumb luck.
Construct new huts, blind new kinds of ducks then make them

[Eb]You [Bb]were[B] ba[F#]ptized in a river, I was thrown off a bridge.

just when I think that all is lost, I see you stepping in the water.
