Through the yellow teeth white lies are told

       B                                 A    F#
Of the notches made in the house of smoke

So pick the padlocked case in the padlocked room

Wipe the smile from your face and sing the default blues
And go [Chorus]

The prescription sculpture of a thoughtless stool

You've got your heroin monologues that you lifted from books

What are you running from, ahh

There isn't a cure, there isn't a cure
B B
      A                   F#
There isn't a cure

          B                                          A   F#
