Stranger Than Fiction Lyrics

Intro: B-F#/Bb-G#m-F#-E-B/Eb-E-F#- x4
Verse 1:
a febrile shocking
violent smack and
the children are
hoping for a heart
attack tonight the
windows are watching
the streets all
conspire and the
lamppost can't stop
crying if I could
fly high above the
world would I see
a bunch of living
dots spell the world
stupidity? or would
I see hungry lover
homicides loving
brother suicides
and olly olly oxenfrees
who pickaside and hide
Refrain:
the world
is scratching at
my door my
morning papers got
the scores the human
interest stories and
the obituary oh yeah
Chorus 1:
Cockroach naps and
rattling traps how
many devils can you
fit upon a match head?
caringosity killed
the Kerouac cat
sometimes truth is
stranger than fiction
Verse 2:
in my alley around the
corner there's a wino
with feathered shoulders
and a spirit giving
head for crack and
he'll never want it
back there's a little
kid and his family
eating crackers like
thanksgiving and a
pack of wild desperados
scornful of living
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus 2:
cradle for a cat
Wolfe looks back
how many angels can
you fit upon a match?
I want to know why
Hemingway cracked
sometimes truth is
stranger than fiction
Bridge:
life is the crummiest
book I ever read
there isn't a hook
just a lot of cheap
shots pictures to
shock and characters
an amateur would
never dream up
