Flashlight Brown
                                  Fatso

A                                D
Thought that I was nothing more than one of your pawns 

              A                         D
While you stormed your ladder rung by rung  

                 A                            D
Though your conscience bled about everything you said 

   Bm                         E
I sincerely hope you had a little fun 
And I bet it felt swell to damn me to hell 
While the rest of us lost our cool 
Yet still I live despite what you did 
Because I know that I am uglier than you 

A                   C#m                    F#m           E
Fight the power, fight the future, fight the CDA 
Fight your conscience, fight your jesus, lose me on your way 

A
Something came around the corner 

E
Something went a little wrong 

D
Call me fag, have some class 

A
Come on fatso kick my ass 

Break for a lunch of model glue punch 
And a thermos of your mother's Pam 
You made it quite clear you didn't want me near 
And I faked it like I didn't give a damn 
And Sonia Bianchi never lost touch 
With the way you never lost your cool
And although you're a prick and make people sick 
I guess this world doesn't need another fool 

Now in the end I'm forced to contend 
That my personal war is through 
Now I'm dumped and your ego's pumped 
Cause somebody wrote a song about you

A     F#M   E                     D
Ice cold high on your own instincts
Warms me before I leave my pack 
Cause I was seriously mistaken about my friend 

Out do the thrills of your spectators 
I won't put up too much fight 
Cause I was seriously mistaken about my friend 

A            F#m        E               D
Tunneled out of my brain with a corkscrew 
Settled down in a field with my conviction 
Had a slate of manic comforts there to guide me
Now I'm over it and I can get to living once again 

D                     A
Realized I'd been talking to myself 

D                           C
And all along I didn't understand a word I said 

Saved you from a pointless daydream 
Catch me when you've had enough
Cause I was seriously mistaken about my friend

                                  Monster

C#D                     A
Never mind what they say if it happens to look your way
In fact I were you I would runna runna away
It usually comes around on those days that might seen grey
But if it catches up with you you'll have nothing left to say

G         A
Living his life in the corner
Mowing the lawn with a hammer
Looking confused by our banter
He didn't know what the hell he was supposed to say

Monster comes around and he really wants to play
Bubbling out of his mouth so you'd better walk away
You'd better watch your steps cuz it'll trace 'em anyway
And if you happen to get away you've gone through another day 

G
Follow the monster

Follow the monster 

A D
Follow the monster

Follow the monster 
(Walk away )

Grateful deadly lice and fungal medley.

On and on the trip goes on a touch of gray to light the bong.

Dirty, stinky, feeling kinda kinky.
Flower power, jesus take a shower.

D                A                     F#m

D            F#m                         Bm    
  What a day what a cold and unforgiving grey
                E
Won't give me a chance
D          F#m                                  Bm     
 Cast a chill, she was cold as ice and dressed to kill

Froze me with a glance

  D            E                   G                 A# A   
So now do you recall the Twist and Crawl and all the games?

  D      Bm
Patricia where have you been?
E                        G            A 
Chilling with Method and jamming with Queen
  D      Bm
Patricia what's in a name?
E                          G             A  
Tell me some lies and I'll slide you the same

D           AF#m                          Bm
 What a trip what a crazy, useless dirty rip
                  E
It's out of control

G
 Led by a mighty roar
A
 Here comes the firestorm
Bm                            C
 I've seen it all before so I'm gone

So move within your trance and Safety Dance and lose your mind

Patricia where have you been?
Over the bird's nest in life's final scene
Patricia what's in a name?
Godspeed the progress you're finally insane

D Bm  G           E
      It's only magic

I wrote her notes I called her home and then she left me all alone
Sonia Bianchi never knew my name 
I asked her out she shot me down and then she left me on the ground

A#           A                      Dm                         C
But now I know that when I'm old and rich and grey 
A#          A                    G
You will still be with that tool 
You'll be the one they know that let me get away
You could have been there with me too 


Sonia Bianchi never knew my name 
I wrote her notes I called her home and then she left me all alone
Sonia Bianchi never knew my name 
I want her back she won't come back why won't she cut me any slack?

C        G            F                  G
Those days were living hell but I survived them
C      G                Am
Still strut with my hero 
They won, but in the end I still denied them 
Long live no tomorrow

                          This Bird 

F                       G
Taxi to the runway as the evening turns to night

       E                            F
It's several minutes past the chance to dodge this dire flight
The engines both look ancient and the wings are swathed in rust
I should have stayed at home or took the midnight shuttle bus.

When the hell's the steward going to bring around a drink?
This lack of ammunition gives me too much time to think
I'll down the airline champagne and I'll juice up on some gin
I'll be too blind to worry when the fuselage caves in.

F        G           Am            G#
And now I know that I'm going to seem extreme

F           G     C
This bird's going down.
Don't want to cry or to have to make a scene
This bird's going down.

The beast is leaping up and down I think I'm going to crack
Like Terminator my insipid dinner's coming back
The further out we go the mortal danger only grows
I've got to stop myself from watching air disaster shows. 

A                                             D
In to swamp in to a bridge into the ocean where the fishies meet, what a tasty treat.

With pilot error or the weather or mechanics leaving checklists incomplete.
Into a mountain or a forest or a school yard where the kids all play, what a tragic day
A fundamentalist with suitcase full of bombs prepared to blow this flight away.

And now I know that I'm going to seem extreme

Sunday morning, headache's healed 

G                       Dm
Strapped into our chesterfield 
Caught our breath off the TV's chill 
Cat is dead on the window sill 
Brain is functioning cold as night 
This god-damned day is out of sight 
So much time to waste away 
Too much time, for just one day

      E     Dm           E   Dm             E  Dm
But still I caught a chill from skinny walking

                   E                             Dm                  AGBAGB
I'm caught off guard that you're still gorgeous when you smell. 

Hop the road to go and rent a flick 
First time out kind of makes me sick 
Today's breakfast won't take us far
Three cups of coffee and a candy bar 
Despite the fact we're going to fight today 
We'll scratch and win until our love's okay 
Screw on the couch and scream at the sun 
And maybe Monday morning won't ever come 

       C#  F#m   E  C       C# F#m   E C
And I'll never feel this home again 

The world outside gives us nothing to see They're blaring Black Cabbage on the |CF#C| 
Coffee's gone around 3 pm 
I guess it's time to start drinking again 
All our friends come invade our home 
Kind of wish they'd just leave us alone 
Poser Jesus thinks your dad's too deep
But our salvation never came this cheap
