His head was a city
3  5 5     5  4
Of paper buildings
 5   5   5 -4   5    6   5 
And the echoes that remained
2   5    5     -4   5  6 
Of old friends and lovers
  3    5  5     5  4 
Their features bleeding
-3 5 -4  5   6   5
Together in his brain 
5   -4  4
Oh, ho ho
4    6    4  5 -3’ -3’ -3’  5 -4  4
And once it started it was harder to
 6    4   -4 5
Tell them apart
5  -4  4
Oh, ho ho
 
5   5  5 -4    -4 5 6
He was always distracted
5   5  5 5   5  4 
By the very mention 
5  -4 5 6   5
Of an open door
5   -4 4
Oh, ho ho 
  6    4  -4    5    6  6  5   6    5    6    5 -6 6
'Cause he had sworn not to be what he'd been be-fo-re 
 
3  4  4 -3 -3   4 4    6 6   -6 -6 5
To be a remain remain remain remainder (x2)

The television was snowing softly
-4  5   5 -4   5  6    5 
As she hunted for her keys
 3   -4   5  5 5    -4 5  6    5   5   5   5   5  4   
She said she never envisioned him the type of person 
5 5  5  -4  5    6 5
Capable of such deceit
5  -4  4 
Oh, ho ho (x2)
 
 3   5     5   5 -4   5   6    5    5 5 4
And Then they carried on like long division
3  5   5   5     -4   5 6    5 
As it was clear with every page 
5    -4   4    4    6  4  -4 5   6   6  5 6 5    6     5   -6 6
Oh, that they were further away from a solution that would pla-y

Without a remain remain remain remainder
