Intro: 0:00- 0:19
0:20- 1:43
There's a tall, a mulatto, boy I know
and he comes to every party -- he stands alone
in viewing them the rest, from the corner of his glance it gets so clear,
he's not judging anyone
the way his arms float around his cage, he's caged
canary sings, silently brings, his voice to rage
the way they stop and stare, the way they turn their heads
it's enough to make him want to run away
but he stays he stands his ground
Chorus: 1:44- 2:23
And I'm, I'm so damn lame
the way I condescend without ever knowing his name
he keeps it in a box, hangs it from his ear
looks at everyone wihtout the slightest fear
G E5 Em7 Cadd9 (hold & let ring)
it's making me so ashamed
2:24- 3:25
slender body, slip through his glance
I don't give him a single chance
the way he's rocking back and forth
makes a buzzing in my ear
constantly reminding me that I never stop to hear
him say hello, hello
Chorus: 3:26- 4:04
and I'm , I'm so damn lame
like a moth bumping off his godless flame
I cannot condescend or even apprehend, what comes over me
when I see his shameless face
4:05- end
so rage, please rage, against me, beat me
down, beat me down, forgive me for what I've done,
I'm so lame, I'm so lame, I'm so lame
so lame, so, so lame
