An Esperanto lullaby is keeping me in stitches
A                     D/A    A       D/A      A    E
Don't know what she's saying but the sound of it bewitches
                 D                                  C#m    F#sus4
Oh, it's over my head, she thinks she's queen for a day, hurray

[Chorus]

E            A          B
  Which way? Passion or poison?
E                    A       B
  Which way? Get the highway code
E                A    B
  All questions,   no answers
E                    A           B
  Standing here at a fork in the road
                 E
At a fork in the road

[Verse]

Now Eglantine, she takes her time, she takes good aim and fires
  A               D/A     A              D/A     A      E
A crystal ball is hard to read when it's tangled in the wires
                 D                                  C#m    F#sus4
Oh, it's over my head, she thinks she's queen for a day, hurray

[Chorus]

E            A          B
  Which way? Passion or poison?
E                    A       B
  Which way? Get the highway code
E                A    B
  All questions,   no answers
E                    A           B
  Standing here at a fork in the road
                 C
At a fork in the road

Miss Carnaby she wants to be Caliope on meth

She fits the job description if she doesn't bleed to death
                    D                          C#m    F#sus4
But it's all in her head, nobody made her that way, hurray
