E Oliver Paul, twenty years old
A5Thick head of hair, worries he's going bald
E Wakes up at quarter past nine
A5Fair evades his way down the 96 tram line
EBreakfast on the run again, he's well aware
He's A5dropping soy linseed Vegemite crumbs everyEwhere A5 E A5
E Feeling sick at the sight of his computer
He A5dodges his way through the Swanston commuters
ERips off his tie, hands it to a homeless man
ASleeping in the corner of a metro bus stand and he sEcreams
"I'm not going to work today
Going to cA5ount the minutes that the trains run late
E Sit on the grass building pyramids out of Coke cans" A5 E E/F E7 G A5
EHeadphone wielding to the Nicholas building
He A5trips on a pothole that's not been filled in
HeE waits for an elevator, one to nine
A A5lady walks in and waits by his side
HerE heels are high and her bag is snakeskin
A5Hair pulled so tight you can see her skeleton
EVickers perfume on her breath
A A5tortoise shell necklace between her breasts
She looks himE up and down with a botox frown
He's A5well used to that look by now
The EelevatorE/F dings and they E7awkGwardly sA5tep in
Their Efingers E/Ftouch on the E7rooGftop A5button
Don't jEump little boy, don't jA5ump off that roof
You've got your wEhole life ahead of you, you're sA5till in your youth
EI'd give anything to have sA5kin like you E A5
He said "EI think you're projecting the way that you're feeling
I'm A5not suicidal, just idling insignificantly
I cEome up here for perception and clarity
I lA5ike to imagine I'm playing SimCity
All the pEeople look like E/Fants from up E7herGe A5
And the wEind's the only tE/Fraffic you can E7heaGr" A5
He said "AEll I E/Fever wantedE7 toG beA5
Was an eElevator E/Foperator, can E7youG help me A5please?"
Don't jEump little boy, don't jA5ump off that roof
You've got your wEhole life ahead of you, you're sA5till in your youth
EI'd give anything to have sA5kin like you E A5
Don't jEump little boy, don't jA5ump off that roof
You've got your whEole life ahead of you, you're sA5till in your youth
EI'd give anything to have sA5kin like you E A5
