[Verse]
C                                    
Tenuous at best was all he had to say
                   Am                              
When pressed about the rest of it the world that is
C                                                  
From protoSanskrit Minoans to Portocentric Lisboans
Am                                                             C    Am
Greek Cypriots and harbor sorts who hang around in ports a lot ohoh ■ 
C                                      
Here's where things start getting weird
                                             Am  
While chinless men will scratch their beards ohho
C                                 
Tool their minds to sharpened axes
                        Am      
Brushed upon the Uralic syntaxes
G                           
Love of hate acts as an axis
                        F        
Love of hate acts as an axis ohoh
                           C    
First it wanes and then it waxes


[Chorus]
   Am                        C     Am
So ■  procreate and pay your taxes ■ 


[Verse]
C                Am                  
Tenuousness less seven comes to three
C            Am    
Tenuous plus eleven
                            G         
Thank the heavens for their elasticity
               F                          C         Am C
And that's for those who live and die for astronomy ■  ■


[Chorus]

[Verse]
Am C                           
■  When Coprophagia was written
C                                
Know when to stand or when to sit
Am                                     
Can't stand to stand can't stand to sit
Am                             
And who would want to know this
            C Am
Click click ■ ■ 
G                           Em  
■ Oh who wants to look upon this
G                           Em   G        
■ Oh who wants to look upon this pray tell
                       G   
Who wants to look upon this


[Chorus]
   Em G                        Em   G Em      G   
Oh ■  ■ who wants to look upon this ■ ■  pray tell
Em       
Pray tell
G                Em                     
Tenuousness less ■  seven comes to three
G                Em    
Them you us plus eleven
                  D       
Comes just shy of infinity
               F                          C         
And that's for those who live and die for numerology
