Hari Kari Bender

Plain Ordinary Splendor

Refrain
/D                     /D      
This is no Hari-Kari Bender
/G                    /D         /D
It's just plain ordinary splendor. 
Verse
/D                                  /D                    
I felt the grin of the Cheshire cat but no cat was seen.
/G                                /G                   
But that same grinning toothless wonder kicked my  spleen.  
/F#m                                 /F#m        
And now I am floating on a cloud  over cuckoo land.  
/F#m                                /F#m        
With a blowing pollution of thought so  grand.  
/G               
Forgotten nothing.
/D         /D
Learned nothing.  
Refrain.

I was talking  with this albino terrorist with green hair.
But he just growled at me and shook his horns in the air.
Well he reminded me of the dirt under my  fingernails.
I told him that love and sweet reason usually prevails.
Just tame him
Then claim him.
Refrain

That flat chested Mati Hari lead me down the gangway.
But I spit over my shoulder to keep the devil away.
And when we got to the bottom on me it finally dawned.
You can't speak of oceans to frogs sitting in a pond.
I'm no hero
Just status quo.
Refrain.

I always chased the wind but could never quite catch up.
I guess I'm not destined to become a hyperactive hiccough.
So now I try to protect all my unborn baby children.
Well,I lost it long ago and never found it again
Don't sigh,don't leap
Don't cry,don't weep.
Refrain.
