|: D Daug5 Bm E D A D G :|

Hide away folk family, or else someone's gonna get ya - someone's gonna get ya

hide away folk family, better hide away

1.

Tippy toe to the front door mother

D G A -

'cause there's a guy with a long long fuse

and the one thing you can't hide is all the fear you feel inside

as the fuse is spelling out these words

(Chorus)

2.

Tippy toe to the flat bed father

because they're pouring out our gasoline

and sadly the cross-eyed bear's been put to sleep behind the stairs

and his shoes are laced with irony

(Chorus)

(Hello, this is Leslie Down with the daily home astrology report

Taurus: contemplate domestic turmoil

Aquarius: abandon hope for future plans)

(Chorus, backwards yabbering, et cetera.)
