(Dm  Bb  G  Bb)
I've done myself an impossible crime

(Dm  Bb  F  C)
Had to paint myself a hole and fall inside

(Dm  Bb  G  Bb)
If it's far enough in sight and rhyme

(Dm  Bb  F  C)
I get to wear another dress and count in time

(Bb    F G)
Oh, won't you do me the favor, man,

(Bb    F C)
Of a giving mind,

(Bb    F G)
A polymorphing opinion here,

(Bb    F C)
And your vague outline,

(Dm  Bb  G  Bb)
I'll find myself another burning gate

(Dm  Bb  F  C)
A pretty face, a vague idea I can't relate

(Dm  Bb  G  Bb)
And this is get what you get for pulling pins

(Dm  Bb  F  C)
Out of the hole inside the hole you're in

(Bb    F G)
It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars

(Bb    F C)
Of a blind man's bike

(Bb    F G)
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind

(Bb    F C)
On the rolling mind

(F     C Bb)
They want you to decide,

(F     C Eb)
Eventually, it happens,

(F     C Bb)
Some gather on one side,

(F     C Eb)
With all their pearly snapping,

(F     C Bb)
They close the basement door,

(F     C Eb)
It sets our teeth to chatter,

(F     C Bb)
You never saw it before,

(F     C C)
But now that hardly matters,

 Dm                F
You're old enough, boy,

         Dm                F
Too many summers you've enjoyed,

             Dm
So spin the wheel,

              F                   C
We'll set you up with some odd convictions,

                       Bb
Because you're finally golden, boy,

(Bb    F G)
It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars

(Bb    F C)
Of a blind man's bike

(Bb    F G)
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind

(Bb    F C............Bb end)
On the rolling mind
