Sealion

Capo 3rd Fret [Verse 1] Over the mountains and under the sky riding dirty grey horses go you and I; mating with chance copulating with mirth the sad glad paymasters (for what it’s worth).       Asus4                     A The ice cream castles are refrigerated      Asus4               A the super-marketeers are on parade.             B                Bsus4              F#m There’s a golden handshake hanging ’round your neck as you light your cigarette on the burning deck. And you balance your world on the tip of your nose like a sealion with a ball at the carnival. [Verse 2] You wear shiny skin and a funny hat the Almighty Animal Trainer lets it go at that. You bark ever so slightly at the Trainer’s gun with your whiskers melting in the noonday sun.       Asus4                     A You flip and you flop under the Big White Top       Asus4                     A where the long legged ring mistress starts and stops.         B                Bsus4            F#m But you know after all the act is wearing thin as the crowd grows uneasy and the boos begin. But you balance your world on the tip of your nose you’re a sealion with a ball at the carnival.

There is no reason no rhyme no right to leave the circus ’till we’ve said goodnight.     Asus4                   A The same performance in the same old way          Asus4                  A it’s the same old story to this Passion Play.          B                  Bsus4          F#m So we’ll shoot the moon and hope to call a tune and make no pin cushion of this big balloon. Look how we balance the world on the tip of your noses like sealions with a ball at the carnival.
