An Exercise In Lyrical Ambiguity by Los Capitanes
An Exercise In Lyrical Ambiguity
(Intro)
Dm7 Dm7 C7 C7 C7 X8
(verse 1)
Dm7 C7
Hollow body got a hold on me
Dm7 C7
copper wound kite string stinger set me free
Dm7 C7
milk crater moon spitting silence in the sea like
Dm7 C7
no wave no way
Dm7 C7 Dm7
I love that sound
C7
oh my gosh
Dm7 C7
immersed in cursive surfaces I’ll never be alone
Dm7
I am wind up toy
whipping boy
C7
and music is my home
(pre-chorus)
F7 Dm7 Em7 C7 Dm7 Am7
G
can we create a canopy please
F7 Dm7 Em7 C7 Dm7 Am7
G
from all this satellite calamity disease
F7 Dm7 Em7 C7 Dm7 Am7
G
step back I’m likely to explode
F7 Dm7 Em7 C7 Dm7
Am7 G
I’m droppin’ loads
(chorus)
Dm7 C7 Dm7
I don’t wanna waste my time on trivial things like life
C7
I will be perfect for you
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
it is the only thing that I know how to do
Dm7 C7 Dm7
in my head my heart my tongue my lung my life
C7 Dm7
I will be there
C7 Dm7 C7
it is the only thing that saves me from despair
(transition)
Dm7 Dm7 C7 C7 C7 X2
(verse 2)
Dm7 C7
Zodiac distractions sit like diamonds in the sky
Dm7 C7
up above the world I blink the twinkle from my eye
Dm7 C7
taking giant steps with lunar lungs I’m just a man
Dm7 C7
finding footprints in the silver dust you’ll never understand
(double time)
Dm7 C7
yes I’ll never understand what drives a man to be content
Dm7 C7
in a hopeless ocean motionless with slippers of cement
Dm7 C7
shooting stars with shooting stars while playful comets wag their tails
Dm7 C7
on the emperors new-wave punch drunk off sick unholy grails
(PRE-CHORUS)
F7 Dm7 Em7 C7 Dm7 Am7
G
can we create a canopy please
F7 Dm7 Em7 C7 Dm7 Am7
G
from all this satellite profanity crazy
F7 Dm7 Em7 C7 Dm7 Am7
G
step back I’m likely to explode
F7 Dm7 Em7 C7 Dm7
Am7 G
I’m droppin’ loads
(CHORUS)
Dm7 C7 Dm7
I don’t wanna waste my time on trivial things like life
C7
I will be perfect for you
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
it is the only thing that I know how to do
Dm7 C7 Dm7
in my head my heart my tongue my lung my life
C7 Dm7
I will be there
C7 Dm7 C7
it is the only thing that saves me from despair
(BRIDGE)
(Arpeggiate)
Dm Em7 A# F A#maj7 D# D Dm Dm F Em7 G Dm
F Em7 G Esus4
Em7 Em7 Em7
cavalier rocket jockey clock stopping time toffee
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7
copy cats who copy that meet Mr. Misanthropy
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7
dry land ho! There’s a flag on the beach
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7
Terra Nullius no! Then its back to the ship
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7
sick of dipping toes in other peoples sanity
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7
sick of silly rhetoric and venomous morality
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7
cookie cutter counter culture kids cant copy me
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7
still sitting pretty in a satellite canopy
(chorus)
Dm7 C7 Dm7
I don’t wanna waste my time on trivial things like life
C7
I will be perfect for you
Dm7 C7 Dm7 C7
it is the only thing that I know how to do
Dm7 C7 Dm7
in my head my heart my tongue my lung my life
C7 Dm7
I will be there
C7 Dm7 C7
it is the only thing that saves me from despair
(outro) (same as intro)
Dm7 Dm7 C7 C7 C7 X4
The Em7 in the screaming part (the bridge) is actually an Em7 with
an added sharp six, so the way that it's played would be like this
e--9-----
B--8-----
G--7-----
D--9-----
A--7-----
E--------
everywhere else it's just a regular Em7 chord.
