My wounds are nicely slated dear

I never got to thank you right

I was finished way before i could see
A
Quite what you had in mind for me

I'm doing cartwheels
E
I'm doing cartwheels

Now the pessimism in me yawns
A
As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns
E
A voice calls out behind my back
A
and i take off into the grounds

I'm doing cartwheels

I wish i had a friend i could ring

Now you've got me on the ropes out here

With nowhere else to run to now
Just stay and face the music
