[B] And when the truth is said and heard, that love is meant for the dead to [F#] please,
and hearts and throats are pierced in smiles, [B] and every woman and man to please,

[F#] the scent of a woman beautiful, the scent of [B] a man with a face.
[D] And those of us with ravaged [C#m] faces, lacking in [F#] the social [Bm] races,
we desperately need a home, and here my mother [Em] is on the phone,

[C#m] it is not a season, [F#] it's seventeen, [B] a bride of the night, girl of the hand of [C#m] God,
who's made my mother cook for [F#] lunch, said, if you please won't you save [B] us,
and still the paper turns, and the installation won't come clean,
