E G What are they looking for? Em G A messiah who never comes? E G A virgin birth? Em G A perfect drug? E G A sign, any kind of sign? Em E G Anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary Em Flying over fields and factories E Momma's going off her head Em Daddy's bringing home the bacon E Open up the pearly gates Em Fruit of salty lubrication E Tangled up in arms and legs Em I can barely touch the bottom E Now I'm working up a sweat!
