Intro:

(Figure 1)

Verse:

A5

Every thought's a game

B5

A pack of chimps I cannot tame

D5

You're wondering who to blame

A5 E5

Now you're ride has come up lame

Fortress full of hate

Fears and hopes all pound the gate

Too early, it's too late

What is evil which is great

Chorus:

D5 E5

Pigs are sheep and cats are dogs and

C#5

Thoughts are made of lincoln logs

D5 E5

Tend to the mice and wood where

C#5(Variation)

Black is blue and bad is good

Verse two: (same chords as first verse)

Thoughts that I keep my money in

Melt some wax and chunks of tin

Forget your name, how to walk and ignore

The light shining in from under the door

Thoughts like a thread through a foam device

Liquid bread and rubber ice

Make a promise, grow teeth and go to bed

Wake up when you're dead

Note: On the last time you play the solo

you play the normal part twice and

then you play the variation and the

normal part again

Chords:

A5 B5 D5 E5 C#5 C#5 (Variation)
