I was born in a lighthouse, my mother was the sea
I crawled to school each morning when it occurred to me
 
      G             D              F#              Bm
that life's just a mood ring we're not allowed to see
 
     E               -      F#  -
and this is what it said to me:
 
 
 
Chorus:
    Bm                 A          Bm               F#m
My room's comfortably small with rubber lining the walls
 
            Bm              E          A  -
and there's someone always calling my name
 
    Bm              A          Bm                 F#m
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

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)
