Lyrics

[Intro]
D#5 C5    D#5 C5 D#5 C5 D#5 C5 D#5 C5 F5 G5
      Woo!

[Verse 1]
C5                                   F5
  Angels fall to the floor like they would if I was
G5
Captain.
C5
  "Silver children!" she roared.
    F5                 G5
I'm not the son of God.
C5
Somebody help me sing.
    F5      G5
can anybody hear me?
C5
Liars and lovers come by tonight,
      F5                 G5
we're gonna make a scene.

[Pre-Chorus]
A5                    F5 C5    G5
Somebody help me sing.   Wo-oh-oh-oh.
A5                    F5 C5    G5
Somebody help me sing.   Wo-oh-oh-oh.

[Chorus]
C5                   G5
Help me be Captain of  our crippled disguises.
  A5
I won't show what's underneath;
G5
  It's time for suprises.
  C5
I can't climb up your lader,
G5
I can't ride your horse.
  A5                             G5
I swallowed half an hourglass so now the landscape is
swollen up.

[Verse 2]
C5
  I gave birth to a fire;
     F5                     G5
it's like his features were burning.
C5                  F5                G5
  I'm in control. I am the son of God.
C5
Somebody help me sing.
    F5      G5
Can anybody hear me?
C5
Line up your shoulders one final time,
      F5                G5
we're gonna have a ball.

[Pre-Chorus]
A5                    F5 C5 G5
Somebody help me sing.   Wo-oh.
A5                    F5 C5 G5
Somebody help me sing.   Wo-oh.

[Chorus]
C5                   G5
Help me be Captain of  our crippled disguises.
  A5
I won't show what's underneath;
G5

  C5
I can't climb up your lader,
G5
I can't ride your horse.
  A5                             G5
I swallowed half an hourglass so now the landscape is
swollen up.
