B f# e Em You wear your eyes so you can see You took the caution in the wind, you laughed and broke it on your knee And it was fun when you were young but now there's too much to run from do you disagree Don't you hear me calling you I've been on the ringside, wrapped around the front lines in the heat And you don't know the tease of falling through I remain the go-to when you think they hate you, woe is me I'm the Anomaly x5 To keep the fair from shutting down You work all day and night there ain't no sleep when you're the laughing clown You stop the blues from coming through and making blue stains on your shoes You ask why I'm never around Don't you hear me begging you Not to pass the STOP sign, thought you cut the break lines, just for me And don't you feel the deja vu Cause it's in my bloodline always to be outshined, guaranteed I'm the Anomaly x5

F, G, EM, F A sick boy at home is no good use A war outside, we're bound to lose The doctor's out, he too is ill No flowers on your windowsill But there's a magic he can see And it'll cure whats wrong with me Dreams grab hold and guide the way And you can hear that sick boy say: F, G, EM, F I wish i were a man in motion I wish i had a magic potion I wanna cross the land, the ocean Then back, like a man in motion Mother spied the man in red She cried out, "help, my son's near dead" The man in red had quite the fix, a bottle for 2.76 So she hastened up the pace, yet the boy thought of some strange place, far away from his old bed, where he'd yell to the man in red F, E7, AM, G, F FM, G, AM, G, F, G Lord, please help me out, Show me that life isn't pain and doubt, There's a faint spark within his eye that I'm still seeing, cause he's still dreaming CHORUS

F# Im standing in a pool of innovation B but your face keeps slipping away F# Landing in a town of failed creations B That ship has sailed today Db But if it's high among the seas B And sailing gently gainst the breeze F# Then you know Lovers meet through television They had to arrive at a descision They threw Stoky Bill away Among the piles of forgotten missions Until it ceased to play The woman in the screen She knew exactly what I mean Go away You have to be free But there's no TV and no love in your life There's only the constant of depression what's the reason why Some geniuses are loved and others thrown out with the tub it's a lie Lovers meet through television They can hardly see each other Barely in communication from one person to another Lovers meet through television Lovers meet through television Lovers meet through television Lovers meet through television F# E D A, DM I see a little man face as gray as pavement Squint all the best I can I cant make arrangement Captain of the seaship First mate of his heartstrings Sailor of the free press Something comes from nothing B E7 Db F# Please Mr. president Don't leave me a resident Of a simple mortal mouse's dream (On the screen!)

I'm slipping out I'm moving in I'm tripping out I'm moving in I'm gonna find out some time Whats beneath your skin Unzip yourself Hang up to dry Two minutes out Two years gone by You are the OG non believer No reason why Slip out yourself your heart could plant a tree Adopt a shell Become the air you breathe You're staring at the sharing end of my AR-15 You have been so violent for all this time You play the piano and the violin, viola, chimes Yet here you stand accused of sound abuse, you've lost your mind You must have thrown it down the garbage shoot, but please don't let me go (My body, my mind) Please don't let me go Please don't do me wrong I'll sound the alarm Please don't let me down Underneath the ground I'm slipping out I'm moving in I'm tripping out I'm moving in I'm gonna find out some time Whats beneath your skin My body, my mind
