 But we have nothing left to offer

 Faces pressed against the window

We are born without eyesight

       G7           F   G
We are born without sin

        G7      F        G
And our mama protects us

         G7           F    G
From the cold and the rain

We're in no hurry

We sing in the darkness

   G7       F   G
We open our eyes (open up)

Business and pleasure

    G7            F    G
Lie right to your face

Divide it in sections

         G7       F   G

          G7     F       G
There are no big secrets

        G7             F    G

We have great big bodies

       G7        F     G
We got great big heads

G7                F                   G
Run-a-run-a-run-a-run it all together

G7            F                         G
Check it out, still don't make no sense

G7            F                        G
Makin' flippy floppy, tryin' to do my best

 Lock the door, we kill the beast - kill it!
