E           C#m                     F#m
Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies
         A             F#m      E
All you want's one more Saturday
                      C#m
Well look here, until then
                       F#m
They're gonna buy your life's time
             A                        F#m
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
B
'Till the day
                  E
We come in doing cartwheels
                        B
We all crawl out by ourselves
                      E
And your shape on the dance floor
                           B
Will have me thinking such filth will gauge my eyes.
           C#m         A
You'd be damned to be one of us, girl
C#m           A
Faced with a dodo's conundrum
E    F#m                        A
Ah,  I felt like I could just fly
     G#m                        B
But nothing happend every time I tried

Woo ooo, Woo ooo

E                C#m                                   F#m
A duotone on the wall, the selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all
         A         F#m              E
Never dreamt of such sterile hands
                             C#m
You keep 'em folded in your lap
                     F#m
And raise them up to beg for scraps
               A                          F#m
You know, he's holding you down, With the tips of his fingers
B
Just the same
                          E
You'll be pulled from the ocean
                      B
But just a minute too late
                E
Or changed by a potion
                            B
And find a handsome young mate for you to love
          C#m                            A
You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes
        C#m                            A         E
You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe's
   F#m                  A
Well, do it now or grow old
                G#m                           B
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold

E                             B
Been in love since you were twenty-one
E                          B
You haven't laughed since January
E                                 B
You try and make this up this is so much fun
E                      B
But we know it to be quite contrary
E          B
Lalalala, la la la la
C#m        A
Dare to be one of us, girl
C#m        A
Facing the android's conundrum
E  F#m                     A
I     feel like I should just cry
     G#m                         B/A
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
     G#m                                  B/A
You're Himmler your coat, you don't know how long I've been
     G#m             B/A
Watching the lantern dim
G#m              B/A
Starved of oxygen
   A                            F#m                 E
So give me your hand and let's jump out the window
