|: Bm F#m E Bm :|

I was born in a lighthouse, my mother was the sea

I crawled to school each morning when it occurred to me

that life's just a mood ring we're not allowed to see

E - F# -

and this is what it said to me:

My room's comfortably small with rubber lining the walls

Bm E A -

and there's someone always calling my name

he calls when I'm alone and he calls when I'm not home

D - F# -

and he calls when I'm stuck out in the rain

|: Bm - / A :|

I'm insane

2.

Now listen all you swingers, don't you try to tag along

I know monkey see but monkey's dead, for you it would be wrong

put a dime in my jukebox - you'll only hear this song

and it won't be fun for long

(Chorus)

-E.M.
