Verse (Riff1)

I'm a I'm a I'm a chimney sweeping man

You see the black lines

On the backs On the backs of my hands

I planted all the gardens

I sent off all the hand-typed letters

To the empty shells on high

How I want to make things better

I want to make things better

Verse (Riff1)

Maybe you thought I'd be president

With my cheshire grin, high IQ

And charming baby blues

Well I'm a lowland forest resident

With lime in the outhouse

And black grime for tattoos

Chorus (Riff)

I try to make things better

I try to make things mine

I write a lot of letters

To pass the time

Verse (Riff1)

I pulled three hundred rocks

From the land to build my house

I walk quiet through the forest

Like a tiny quiet forest mouse

Verse (Riff1)

I'm a I'm a I'm a chimney sweeping man

You see the black lines

On the backs On the backs of my hands

I planted all the gardens

I sent off all the hand-typed letters

To the empty shells on high

How I want to make things better

I want to make things better
