E
When all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown

E
Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise

A
My nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit

E
Up on the roof they're still around the hustling crowds still reach down

E
I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief

A
I'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house

E
I pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands

A
That dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain

A
this wilderness up in my head,

A
this rhythm that's up in my head,

A                                           N.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.
E
E
Is there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?

E
My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully

A
But if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out

E
There'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?

E
It makes me think my dearest things are not what they're supposed to be

A
I trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god

E
And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song

E
And we'll make up 'morrow, which reminds me not to leave them back inside

A
this wilderness up in my head,
this rhythm that's up in my head, N.C. this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom. E
E
lion in a coma, lion in a coma

E
lion in a coma, lion in a coma

E
who wants to run but cannot roam
