He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse
In the cathedral with the glass stained black         024000   044000
Singing sweet high notes that echo back
A♭                    G2 G2 G2 G2 G G                 881288x  7005xx 7007xx
   To destroy their master

May be a long time till you get the call up
But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck
Am             A♭                                     9x989x  88888x

        Cro-ossing your face
  
  I'm running speed trials
  Sta-anding in pla, a-a-ace

e  g  a  b  x 2  w/ e

When the socket's not a shock enough
You little child, what makes you think you're tough
When all the people you think you're above
They all know what's the matter

You're such a pinball, yeah you know it's true
There's always something you come back running to
To follow the path
Of no resistance
