When you're lost in the rain [A] and water, then it's easy to [E] drown too.
[E] Let gravity's down, [A] let negativity walk all you through.
When you put on any airs, put you down on Roof [E] Log Avenue.
[A] They [B] got some hungry creatures [B] down there, [A] sure to make a mess [E] out of you.
[E] Call up on housing from the [A] hill, just need a fortune [E] or fame.
[A] You must choose one or the other, either of them ought to be [E] worth the claim.
If [A] you're looking to get silly, you better get back to from [E] where you came.
[A] [B] Cause the cops don't need you and man, [A] they [E] expect the same.
[A] Now if you see Santana, please tell her [E] thanks a lot.
I got tentacles that are twisted in [A] my eye, eye socks are [E] all in a knot.
[A] I can't even get up, crawl across the floor, take another [E] shot.
And [B] my best friend, my drummer won't even [A] tell me what it [E] was that I dropped.

Now, sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom.
She speaks such good English, [A] she [E] invites you up into her room.
But [A] you, of course, you're so kind and [E] conscientious, you got to go to her too soon.
[B] Still she steals your butts and leaves you [A] howling at [E] the moon.
Now all of the authorities, they [A] just [A] lay [E] around and boast.
[E] How they blackmailed the sergeant [A] at arms into leaving [E] his post.
[A] Going to pick up angels who just arrived out here [E] from the coast.
[B] Looked so fine at first, but he lived with his [E] back aghast.
So I started out on burgundy, but [A] I hit the [E] hardest stuff.
Everybody swore that they'd stand [A] beside me when the [E] game got rough.
[A] But it took worse on me.
There wasn't even anybody [E] there to bluff.
[B] I'm going back to San Anselmo.
I do [E] believe I've had enough.
