i'm a small cog in a smaller set of gears
and perhaps we'll reach a few handfuls of ears
but won't you listen to my pretty passing chords
i'm a no one in an empty room
yeah i should give up and go to bed real soon
but won't you listen to my pretty passing chords
i could lay down and exemplify
all the other tired oxen
and the faces of my destiny may go forgotten
oh i cannot beg 'til i am sore
against the din of bottles smashing to the floor
and the people who believe in all my words
or at least they say they've listened and they've heard
the drunks in front can yell that i'm the greatest
i'll just stay at home if that's what fame is
but would you listen to my pretty passing chords
close your eyes and hear my pretty passing chords
