Capo 1
AEAEAE, repeat
“How far are you going?” a woman asked you at the gas pump
“I don’t know,” you tried to look away from her eyes
but she didn’t buy that she just asked again a little louder
and you just told her lies, just lies and lies
D F#m E
and you, you’re just selling your soul
There was a time when I was a giraffe and you were a giraffe too
And yeah, we rolled across the prairie and made love and cooed
And there was this time when I was a person and you were people too
who sat around and watched TV about these TV people
and we,we just selling our soul
and we we just selling out soul
E D F#m EAEAEA
it doesn’t matter where we go we’re just selling our souls
A white car’s rolling down the road with it’s lights on bright
There’s a pigeon crossing a yellow bridge at the middle of the night
Bird, won’t you sell me your wings and your prominence
He says, “Surely I’ll sell it to you, you can pay me in innocence”
Yes I, I’m just selling my soul (to a pigeon)
Yes and I, I’m just selling my soul (Coo)
There’s a doctor in the corner, holding a scalpel blade
and his cold hand is nailed on the cross where it laid
And you you’re just a boy inside getting all tuckered out
and you, you get all flustered when you check it out
And you, you’re just selling my soul
Yeah you, you’re just selling my soul
It doesn’t matter where you are
It doesn’t’ matter who you are… etc.
