Oh what a noble distinguished collection of fine little friends you have made
C G F C G F
hitting the tables without you again no we'll wait no we promise we'll wait

June makes these excellent sewing machines out of common industrial waste
C G F
she spends a few months at a time on the couch
C G F
but she's safe she wears shades she wears shades

[Refrão]
F G C F
oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
F G
and you're aces for coming along
C F
you're almost human after all

F G
and you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends
C G F
doesn't mean they'll call
D F
they made the comment in jest
D F D F C G F
but you've got the needle I guess that's the point of it all
C G F C G F
maybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you how nice life can be
C G F C G F
we propped you right up in a chair on a deck with a beautiful view of the sea
C G F C G F

why on earth would I keep you propped up in here when you so love the fall
D F
patterns laid out on the bed

with dozens of colors of thread
D F D F C G F
but you've got the needle I guess that's the point in the end
C G F C G F
it's better to waste your day watching the scenery change at a comatose rate
C G F C G F
than to put yourself in it and turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hate
C G F C G F
but while you were sleeping some men came around, said they had some dimensions to take
C G F C G F
I'm not sure what they were talking about but they sure made a mess of your face
F G C F
but still no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
F G C F
and you're aces for playing along you're almost human even now
F G C G F
and just cause they call themselves experts it doesn't mean sweet fuck all
D F D F
oh they've got the permanent press and the homes with a stable address
D F D F D F
and they've got excitement and life by the fistful but you've got the meaning
D F C G F
I guess that's the point of it all
