  C                                                                D5
If I was a bird I'd build a big nest out of fiberglass and wigs and asbestos

   D5
I'd weave cigarette butts in the strands of hair and plastic grocery bags with receipts 

still there

            C          F         C         F
'Cause I'm a snake in the grass I'm a hook in the sea

     D         G         A                 D5
I'm a bee in your flowers and I am a worm in the trees

VERSE 2 If I was a snake I'd find a bird nest I'd eat bird eggs 'til I got sick then I'd eat up all the rest I'd make myself throw up so I wouldn't gain weight nobody would see me and say “there goes that big fat snake” 'Cause I'm a slap in your face I'm a kiss upon your nose I'm a stab in your back and I am a ring upon your toes VERSE 3 If I was a little boy I'd climb across the walls I play with my machine guns and I blow up all my dolls I'd see grandma in heaven grandpa in hell I'd go back to Sunday school if they'd let me ring the bell 'Cause I'm a spade in your grave I'm a slave in you dreams I'm a cramp in your gut and I am a drip in your jeans VERSE 4 If I was a man I'd build an ugly home I'd raise a hundred cats and then I'd leave them all alone I'd never cut my hair I'd grow a big beard to cover up my scars and soak up all my tears 'Cause I'm a quirk in your brain I'm a clot in your heart I'm a cry in the night and I am a shot in the dark
