E
He came with his friends, in a caravan
G# A
To witness the governor's ball
E
Sat by himself on a cool patch of grass
A B
While the rest stood like bricks in a wall
C#m A
The stage it looked like a vending machine
G# C#m
The singer, a black barbie doll
E A
But it was well light, and well managed
E A
So no property, would be damaged
E B A
Until his boredom, took full advantage
E
Of it all
E
Talked to a girl, with klonopin eyes
G# A
Who said she had jewelry to sell
E
First he said no thanks, then he realized
A B
That he wasn't feeling that well
C#m A
And the turquoise she held looked like pieces of sky
G# C#m
And a garnet like teardrops from hell
E A E A
She offered, him a necklace, and he wanted to accept it
E B A E
But it would end up, too expensive, he could tell
A E A E F#m A B
Then she said: "Why not? What have you got, to lose, to lose?"
E
E
When he never came back, and the curfew had passed
G# A
His friends searched the fair grounds for clues
E
But the security guard with the maniacal laugh
A B
Said its always the leader you lose
C#m A
When he finally turned up in the broad light of day
G# C#m
With a black eye as big as the moon
E A
They all asked him, what had happened
E A
Was it real or, all imagined
E B A E
Why on earth had, he abandoned them so soon
And he said:
A E A E F#m A B
"Why not? I do what I've got, to do, and so should you, you"
E B A x3
