Intro: E
E C#m F#m
(Born to) Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies,
A F#m E
All you want's one more Saturday.
C#m
But look here, until then
F#m
They're gonna buy your nice time
A F#m
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
B
To the day.
E
You come in doing cartwheels
B
We all crawl out by ourselves
E
And your shape on the dance floor
B
Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes.
C#m A
You'd be damned to be one of us girl
C#m A
Faced with a dodo's conundrum
E F#m A
I felt like I could just fly
G#m B
But nothing happened every time I tried.
E
Wooh Ooooh
C#m
A dual tone on the wall
F#m
The selfless fool who hoped he’d save us all
A F#m E
Never dreamt of such sterile hands
C#m
You keep them folded in your lap
F#m
And raise them up to beg for scraps
A F#m
You know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers
B
Just the same
E
Will you be pulled from the ocean
B
But just a minute too late
E
Or changed by a potion
B
And find a handsome young mate for you to love
C#m A
You'll be damned to pining through the window panes, you know
C#m A E F#m
You'll change your life for any ordinary Joe
A
Well do it now or grow old
G#m B
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold

B
Been alone since you were twenty-one,
E
You haven't laughed since January,
B
You try and think of this as so much fun,
E
But we know it to be quite contrary.
B
lalalala, la la la la
C#m A
Dare to be one of us, girl,
C#m A
Facing the Android's conundrum,
E F#m A
I feel like I should just cry,
G#m B
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
G#m B
You're humor in your coat, you don't know how long I've been,
G#m B
Watching the lantern dim,
G#m B
Starved of oxygen,
A F#m E
So give me your hand, and let's jump out the window.
