[Verse]
A                C#m
  No blind spots    in the leopard's eyes 

B                A  
  Can only help     to jeopardize 

C#m                 B
    The lives of lambs, the shepherd cries

A
 Ahhhh...

A                C#m
  An afterlife      for a silverfish 

B                A
  Eternal dust      less ticklish

C#m                   B
  Than the clean room,   a houseguest's 

A
  wish
[Chorus]
   E                                  A
He lies on his side,        is he trying to hide?

   G                                 B
In fact it's the earth, which he's known since birth

[Verse]
A                C#m
  Face worker, a serpentine miner

B                A
  A roof falls,     an underliner

C#m              B              A 
  Of leaf   structure, the egg timer
[Chorus]
   E                                  A
He lies on his side,        is he trying to hide?

In fact it's the earth, which he's known since birth
