The black cat firecracker snapped back baseball cappin'

Cola-cola sippin' on the suds wearing penny loafers

His Sunday best ain't good enough for the rest of the world

Yet he stands in line and waits on his turn

The complex disconfigured man unassociated
Cm G Cm G F`
Agitated with the careful investigator taking notes
Cm G
He slowly tiptoes towards the dark
[CHORUS]
Ab Cm
Watercolor sunset painted before his eyes
Ab G
The gateway has been opened to the wonders of his mind
Ab Cm
He was a non-believer now without a doubt
Ab G
He looks up at the clouds the chemical swirls fading in and out

The peacekeeper drafted into war with a loaded rifle
Cm G Cm G Cm G
Unaware of consequences cold war ended with a spaceship has kind of shakers
Cm G F
He has been programmed to believe a lie

Yet he stands there with a gun on the front line
[CHORUS]
Ab Cm
Blood red color sunset painted before his eyes
Ab G
The veil has been lifted as he watches his friends drop like flies
Ab Cm
He was a non-believer now without a doubt
Ab G
He looks down at his paws the guts he had spluttered on the ground
Ab

G
Yeah yeah
Ab
Yeah yeah

The hero he had fallen for the red white and blue
Ab Cm
He was a non-believer now without a doubt
Ab
His body lays six feet under the ground
G
The black cat's nine lives they ran out
