I thought I saw you in the rusty hook

huddled up in a wicker chair

and kissed whoever was sitting there

yeah I let him go the long way round
Bm
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
E A D E
and kept my shortcuts to myself
A
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak
D Bm
messing with the smoke alarm
A
it was too loud for me to hear her speak
D Bm
and she had a broken arm
F#m A
it was close, so close that the walls were wet
F#m A D Bm C#m
and she wrote it as electroset, no you cant call me her name
A C#m
Tell me where's your hiding place
A C#m

I elongated my lift home

I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
Dm
and kept my shortcuts to myself

I saw your sister in a cornerstone

on the phone to the middle man

Bm A
You can call me anything you want
