[F#]
[B] [F#]
[B] This one goes out to every [D#] Romeo who's wasting his time
[G#m] Waiting for the junky [C#] angels in the [F#] Juliet line
[B] Where Pandora's and Prickly [D#] Poo's take a perfect monae
[G#m] Hanging locked away and [C#] lonesome next to [F#] Dorian Gray
And [D#] as the poison [G#m] drains my mind
It [F#] leaves me wondering [B] why [D#] I can't [E] find
A remedy [B] that suits [F#] me well as you
It's true, my baby's born to lose
[B] Because you bring out the worst [F#] in me
But, [B] Cressidesh, you can't
She's casting off the lifeboats [F#] where I'm sinking at
[B] She swims, [C#] and I've found [F#] myself a lover
Who'd be [G#m] better as a friend
Cause she [B] plays with dirty needles
[F#] And she's in my [B] arms in the end
[F#] [B]
[F#] [B] It's from the wrong side of the track [D#] marks
And I'm setting my sights
[G#m] On a candy-coated ticket to the [F#] train wreck tonight
[B] So I've dumped the wallet, [D#] rehabbed every sheet to the wind
[G#m] While her fire feeds a fever flaming [F#] under my skin
And [D#] as the twinkle [G#m] fades my eyes
It [F#] shakes on a face I [B] hardly [F] recognize
[E] She hides [B] behind the foil and [F#] silver spoon
I'm confused, like one of the Caribbean's
[Em] Because she's [B] dancing around the disco [F#] like it's Pride and [B] All I'm Shamed
The conscious press of [F#] fingers when there's no one left to blame
[C#m] Now I'm [F#] stopping after the silence and the pleasure's worth [G#m] the pain
[B] Cause she plays with dirty needles and [F#] she does it [B] all in vain
[D#m] [G#m]
[C#] [F#] [B]
[F] [G#m]
[C#] [F#] [B] Black clouds, blue [F#] skies, little white lion [G#] lies
Laugh out [C#] loud while the river [F#] rolls round
[B] You're for [F#] boredom, habit [G#] forming up all night
[C#] While the river rolls round [D#] and when the tourniquet [A#] unwinds
And [F#] all the toxic phantoms [A#m] run and hide
[E]
From twelve stepfathers [B]
juggling [F#] the truth
No use, I had to cut [G#m] her loose
She's a woman [B] in the open [F#] world that flexes [B] every man
And so we picked a [F#] scorpion and placed it in [B] my hand
[C#] And she locked [F#] me in her magic lamp while [F] we're just hurting and
Cause she plays [B] with dirty [F#] needles and she's got the glass [G#m] for it
And she [B] plays with dirty [F#] needles and she's in my arm
[B] again
