His head was a city

3  5 5     5  4

Of paper buildings

 5   5   5 -4   5    6   5

And the echoes that remained

2   5    5     -4   5  6

Of old friends and lovers

  3    5  5     5  4

Their features bleeding

-3 5 -4  5   6   5

Together in his brain

5   -4  4

Oh, ho ho

4    6    4  5 -3’ -3’ -3’  5 -4  4

And once it started it was harder to

 6    4   -4 5

Tell them apart

5  -4  4

Oh, ho ho

 

5   5  5 -4    -4 5 6

He was always distracted

5   5  5 5   5  4

By the very mention

5  -4 5 6   5

Of an open door

5   -4 4

Oh, ho ho

  6    4  -4    5    6  6  5   6    5    6    5 -6 6

'Cause he had sworn not to be what he'd been be-fo-re

 

3  4  4 -3 -3   4 4    6 6   -6 -6 5

To be a remain remain remain remainder (x2)

 

 3   5 -4 5 6  -3”  5  5    5  4  

The television was snowing softly

-4  5   5 -4   5  6    5

As she hunted for her keys

 3   -4   5  5 5    -4 5  6    5   5   5   5   5  4  

She said she never envisioned him the type of person

5 5  5  -4  5    6 5

Capable of such deceit

5  -4  4

Oh, ho ho (x2)

 

 3   5     5   5 -4   5   6    5    5 5 4

And Then they carried on like long division

3  5   5   5     -4   5 6    5

As it was clear with every page

5    -4   4    4    6  4  -4 5   6   6  5 6 5    6     5   -6 6

Oh, that they were further away from a solution that would pla-y

 

 3  4   4 -3 -3   4 4    6 6    -6 -6 5

Without a remain remain remain remainder

 3  4   4 -3 -3   4 4    7 7    6 6 5

Without a remain remain remain remainder

 3  4   4 -3 -3   4 4    6 6    -6 -6 5

Without a remain remain remain remainder

 4  7   7  7  7  -7 -7  -6 -6   6  6 5

Without a remain remain remain remainder

 

6   4    5    6  6  5   6    5    6   5 -6 -7

He had sworn not to be what he'd been be-fo-re

4  4   4  -3 -3   4 4    6 6    -6 -6 5

To be the remain remain remain remainder

3  4   4 -3 -3   4 4    7 7    6 6 5

To be the remain remain remain remainder

3  4   4 -3 -3   4 4    6 6    -6 -6 5

To be the remain remain remain remainder

4  7   7  7  7  -7 -7  -6 -6   6  6 5

To be the remain remain remain remainder

4  7  7  7 7   -7 -7  -6 -6   6 6 5

To be a remain remain remain remainder

4  7  7  7  7  -8 -8   7 7    6 6  5

To be a remain remain remain remainder
