[Intro]
E7 E6 E
[Verse 1]
E7 E6 Lifting the mask from a local clown E Feeling down like him E7 E6 Seeing the light in a station bar E And travelling far in sin E7 E6 Sailing downstairs to the northern line E Watching the shine of the shoes E7 E6 Hearing the trials of the people there E Who's to care if they lose?
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 E Take a look, you may see me on the ground Fmaj7 E For I am the parasite of this town
[Verse 2]
E7 E6 Dancing a jig in a church with chimes E A sign of the times today E7 E6 Hearing no bell from the steeple tall E People all in dismay E7 E6 Falling so far on a silver spoon E Making the moon for fun E7 E6 Changing a rope for a size too small E People all get hung
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 E Take a look, you may see me coming through Fmaj7 E For I am the parasite who travels two-by-two
[Verse 3]
E7 E6 When I'm lifting the mask from a local clown E And feeling down like him E7 E6 And I'm seeing the light in a station bar E And travelling far in sin E7 E6 And I'm sailing downstairs to the northern line E Watching the shine of the shoes E7 E6 And hearing the trials of the people there E Who's to care if they lose?
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 E Take a look, you may see me on the ground Fmaj7 E For I am the parasite of this town Fmaj7 E And take a look you may see me in the dirt Fmaj7 E For I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt
[Outro]
