Flagpole Sitta

Originally by Harvey Danger

VERSE 1
D                                                  Am
I had visions I was in them I was looking into the mirror
                    Am7          C                    D
To see a little bit clearer, the rottenness and evil in me
D                                                             Am
Fingertips have memories mine can't forget the curves of your body
                      Am7          C                        D
And when I feel a bit naughty, I run it up the flagpole and see

Who salutes, but no one ever does

CHORUS
D                        Am7              C    C4           D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell

VERSE 2
D                                                           Am
Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding
                        Am7          C                  D
The cretins cloning and feeding, and I don't even own a tv
D                                                      Am
Put me in the hospital for nerves and then they had to commit me
                        Am7    C                    D
You told them all I was crazy, they cut off my (balls) legs now

I'm an amputee god damn you

CHORUS
D                        Am7               C    C4          D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell
D                        Am7               C   C4         D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and it's a sin, to live so well

BRIDGE
A                G                       F/C
I wanna publish 'zines, and rage against machines
        F#                                       A
I wanna pierce my tongue, it doesn't hurt, it feels fine
            G                             F/C
The trivial sublime, I'd like to turn off time
            D2/F#                       D11/F#
and kill my mind,        you kill my mind

VERSE 3
D                                             Am
Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's comin' to get me
                      Am7   C                             D
Just say you never met me, I'm going underground with the moles 

to get holes
D                                                                Am
Hear the voices in my head I swear to god it sounds like they're snoring
                                Am7     C                 D
But if you're bored then you're boring, the agony and the irony

they're killing me...woah

CHORUS
D                        Am7              C    C4            D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell
D                        Am7              C    C4           D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and it's a sin, to live this well
