The Big Drag
Single Album (2021)

B♭5  (semi-P.M.)  x 4

B♭5
Before James died he smiled and laughed
                G♭5
Cuz he was just photographed for the last time
While it was drowned the kitten purred
                       F/A
At least that's what I thought I heard
But maybe that's 'cuz I need to believe
         B♭5   (f e e♭)
In the absurd

Ashes to ashes after  the planet crashes
I trust all dust will turn to dust
G♭5
I used to think a wasted life was not a crime
F/A                                                   B♭5
That's before I realized we don't have very much more time

A5
My melodies are maladies
                        F5
My poetries are just phonetic
                             E/G♯
Trying to make sense of this world
                  B♭5
Is preposterous pathetic

The Gods have had their fun playing this world
But now it's too upsetting
The human race is not worth watching  or wagering on
G♭5
We're just a longshot, an underdog  with odds so bad
F/A
Now it's just a blood letting
                                                  B♭5           embarque
So, every deity with dignity ( ) has just stopped betting

So, follow me into a world                                      w/ octaves
Of anything you've ever dreamed
Now that morality is blurred
If you listen really closely
                                     G♭5
You probably believe in every single word
Mesmerized by rhetorical
And memorized historical events
                      F/A
That never actually occurred
We're not blind we're bound and blinded
                                         B♭5
Our minds have been landminded, I'm so excited

Every single person on this planet thinks they are right
                                 A♭5
Cuz if you thought that you were wrong
                                G♭5
You'd change your mindfuck from black to white
                       F/A
I do believe in true romance
So, I'm gonna dance and fight and fuck with every moment
I'll always have something in my glass to raise
          B♭5
To make a toast for those making the most  of the last days

                                                   A♭5
Nothing is ever gonna change, nothing will ever be ok
                                                   G♭5
Nothing is ever gonna change, nothing will ever be ok
There's only a finite number of tomorrows  and it's not a lot
         F/A
But it's all we really got, it's all we really got
                                                                  G♭5
Live each precious moment that we can manage to carve out of each day
So, when it's time for us to die
A♭5
We'll say our short goodbye
F/A                                            B♭5
There is no sadness  if there's no one left to cry
