INTRO: E D# C# B E F# E/F# (E slide to F#)
VERSE 1:
Well I can see my teenage father standing
straight on a desolate corner
In the shadow of tenticled towers
by the red light of America
I imagine how his mother felt
When she heard that her husband was dying
And the underground heroes of the tarmack
shooting smack were blowing up worlds and
damned out loud
Hey can you tell me how does it feel?
CHORUS 1:
Tell me, can you imagine for a second
Doing anything that you don't have to
Well that's what I'm accustomed to
So hooray for me ... and fuck you
(Repeat Intro)
VERSE 2: When I slept with stony faces on the riverbank My angeldevil reveler shook me desperately in dying I don't exactly want to apologize for anything And now, we're all mad and stranded in secret rooms with Roman candles On an endless graveyard train
Chorus 2: Yeah tell me, can you imagine for a second doing anything just 'cos you want to Well that's just what I do so hooray for me... and fuck you
(Repeat Intro)
Yeah I was dreaming through the howzlife
yawning car black on my mind(?) She told
me mad and meaningless as ever
And a song came on my radio like a cemetery
rhyme for a million crying corpses in their
tragedy of respectable existence
Solo (Over chorus chords)
Chorus 3: Yeah tell me, can you imagine for a second trying half the things you ever wanted to Well that's just what I do so hooray for me... Oh yeah
CHORUS 4: I'm not respectable, never sensible maybe incredible, so damn irrascible I like the things I do so hooray for me... and fuck you
