Bm        E          Bm        E
Robert Lowell and Sylvia Plath
Em        A            Em        A
We walk together down the primrose path
Bm        E          Bm        E
Side by side and each by each
Em        A            Em        A
You watch yourself until you're out of reach

F        C          G
Now you're split in two
F        C          G
And each side still isn't you
        Bm                   E
And you know how that sounds
         Bm             A
But it keeps being true


Robert Lowell and Sylvia Plath
It's nice if you ignore the aftermath
On your right: the verse, the rhyme
On the left: a ghoulish pantomime


Now you're split in two
And each side still isn't you
And you know how that sounds
But it keeps being true


 e (E)       c (C#m)          f# (F#m)
And what's to become of me?
c (C#m)   f# (F#m) a (A) E
What am I doing here?
 

Robert Lowell and Sylvia Plath
Paint and plaster, stripped down to the lath
One now broken, one now dust
Victim of a mental wanderlust


Now you're split in two
And each side still isn't you
And you know how that sounds
But it keeps being true

 e (E)       c (C#m)          f# (F#m)
And what's to become of me?
c (C#m)   f# (F#m) a (A) E
What am I doing here?
