lyrics

A F#m E D
All our fine china, smashing into pottery shards, looks like
C#m Bm A F#m
the sharp-eyed bird’s been busy, pecking our trail o’ crumb
E D C#m Bm
Looks like the same idea occurred to everyone, flashing in the pan before we’re done

Take my hand, walk me home, lost in the middle of the woods
Feeling unseen eyes upon us, lost in the middle of a crowd
When some strange face appears, starts pointing out
That your tired tattered shoes are all worn OUT

A B7
The music’s too bright! The color’s too loud!
E7 D A
We shoulda called it a night but we were swept along in the crush of the crowd…


And all that buzzing by the beehive Sweating on the anthill
Won’t make a lick of difference
Looks like the sea went bitter, before we were born
With the salt from our dissolving continent

And fogging up the windshield, fiddling in the snowdrift
Grasshopper sings his old and tired lament,
He says,

“The music’s too bright! The color’s too loud
We shoulda called it a night, but we were swept along in the crush of the crowd”
