[Verse]
D                  F#
Here's father, his heart screwed on
G                        Bm
   Yes, here he's got it I'm sure 'Cause he
Bm                  F#
lost his life in an accident found
G                         A
his heart in the man next door
 
 
[Chorus]
B                         B
What exactly is gonna hap-pen?
B                           G
When they do transplant the brain will my
G7                   Bm
borrowed brain still be the same or will my
F#                      Bm           F#
daughter suffer so much more
 
 
[Verse]
D                                  F#
Here comes the girl, she's got her head screwed on
G                    Bm
But it ain't screwed on right her
Bm                  F#
ambition is to be a prostitute But
G                       A
the breaks just weren't right
 
 
[Chorus]
B                         B
What exactly is gonna hap-pen, tell me?
B                         G
When her father finds out that his virgin
G7                           Bm
daughter has bordello dreams and that he's the one
F#               Bm           F#
she wants to try out
 
 
[Verse]
D                       F#
Here's ma, she's living dangerously
G                          Bm
It's a cinch she'll try it anything twice she thinks
Bm                       F#
she can run right to the whirlpool's edge
G                        A
And stop herself just in time
 
 
[Chorus]
B                         B
What exactly is gonna hap-pen?
B                G
When she finally fizzles out
G7                          Bm
And the lovers will just be sucked in too to see
F#                               Bm           F#
what the colors of death are all about
 
 
[Verse]
D                              F#
Here's the son, guess his legs are screwed on
G                        Bm
Yeah, they're screwed on pretty tight but his
Bm                        F#
brain, loose and it ain't no use he's
G                A
already lost the fight
 
 
[Chorus]
B                         B
What exactly is gonna hap-pen?
B                 G
When he's finally realized
G7                            Bm
That he can't play his guitar like EG Jim or write
F#                  Bm           F#
St. Augustine if he tried
 
[Chorus]
B                      B
That there's gonna hap-pen
B               G
When the family finds out
G7                              Bm
That they've been in the middle of it now for a thousand years
F#                                Bm           F#
And need a thousand more to climb out.
 
[Outro]
E     E     D
              Here's father, his heart screwed on

Yes, here he's got it I'm sure
'Cause he lost his life in an accident
Found his heart in the man next door
What exactly's gonna happen
When they do transplant the brain
Will my borrowed brain still compute the same
Or will my daughter stop her sleeping out
Here comes the girl, she's got her head screwed on

But it ain't screwed on right
Her ambition is to be a prostitute
But the breaks just weren't right
What exactly's gonna happen, tell me
When her father finds out
That his virgin daughter has bordello dreams
And that he's the one she wants to try out
Yeah
There's ma, she's living dangerously

It's a cinch she'll try it anything twice
She thinks she can run right to the whirlpool's edge
And stop herself just in time
What exactly's gonna happen
When she finally fizzles out
The lovers will just be sucked into
To see what the colours of death are all about
Here's the son, has his legs a-screwed on

Yeah, they're screwed on pretty tight
But his brain is loose and it ain't no use
He's already lost the fight
What exactly's gonna happen
When he's finally realized
That he can't play his guitar like E.G. Jim
Or write St. Augustine if he tried
That's what happens
When a family finds out
That they've been in orbit now for a thousand years
And need a thousand more to climb out
